• The Psychology of Leadership

• Cultural Change
• High-Performing Teams

Jamil’s Speaking Themes:

Connectivity:

• Collaboration, Co-operation, valuing others, High Diversity, Knowledge sharing, and Continuous Learning.
• The strongest teams have high diversity and high psychological safety.
• Challenge, argue, debate, and contextualise the world through other people’s lenses, thereby making better future decisions.
• You are only as successful as the partnerships you forge, the networks you build, and the strategic alliances you cultivate and leverage.
• The only sustainable competitive advantage is to learn faster and better than your competitors.
• Creating real and meaningful value.

Behaviours:

• How do you change your behaviours? How do you commit to them? It is about creating a mindset to do it.
• What mindsets are most relevant for performance in the new context, and how can we consistently apply them?
• Creating value – there is no point in changing your behaviours unless it creates value at the value point.
• We start defining ourselves not by what we sell, but by what our customers value.
• This is all about good listening, observing, and understanding.
• What behaviours and thinking are most relevant for this team of people to drive success in the changing world?

Responsibility:

• Responsibility is about genuine ownership and is a key part of high performance.
• We need to create a coaching culture and take individual responsibility.
• There is no such thing as a resilient organisation; there are just resilient people. Similarly, there is no such thing as agile organisations; there are just agile people.
• The most successful people optimise their potential and seize opportunities in a time of change. They also have high levels of accountability and ownership.
• How do you create the culture that you want to drive growth? By people taking responsibility, no matter the circumstances.

Belief Systems:

• You don’t solve new problems with old thinking.
• Curiosity is worth more than creativity at the moment.
• Our ability to challenge ourselves and others to understand the world we are stepping into is essential.
• Once we create new perspectives, we create new possibilities and new opportunities.
• What defines you confines you—our best selves can often be found outside of our job title, job role, and job description.
• We manage our energy in a way that creates the most impact and value for others.
• How to think more like the outsider?
• How do we step outside technical expertise and into a space where we realise our success won’t come from what we know, but from how we think about what we know?
• How do we create a way of being and doing based on using our knowledge to create more meaningfulness and sustainable value for customers?
