Developing a leadership style

Leadership skills are something they are comfortable, while others are built on time, one's own life experiences and a constant dialogue with the family members, business associates and others with such external influences on the drawing. Capacity building magnate Daniel Grollo reflects both conscious and unconscious when he talks about his leadership skills.

40, Grollo now for over a decade building his family business Grocon head is doing in 1998 took over the reins from his father, Bruno management.

Of course, in shaping his leadership skills early trade as an important influential lists his father, but quickly adds that his style of management is quite different from his father.

"Dad is a very basic way with people was a communicator and can motivate people" Grollo says. "They were his property. How do they compare with my property? I think my property is around led to some father are a bit different. Something I have picked up from him and I through some other areas will have honed their journey. "

Grollo also a sense of community in developing an effective and important as his mother Dina points. "Mom was a very loving and caring person, and any sense of community seed I have comes from him, because he was very much like that of trying to care for as many people as it possibly can.

"There's an interesting unlearnt is what you have learned here is the concept. I think my skills a lot more in terms of leadership ability probably unconscious. I just do it naturally. So my childhood grew out of and where I got some of the qualities of leadership I'm not sure because I was leading quite a young age and through our whole lives we are constantly improving leadership. "

Grollo says there for those factors and leadership helped to shape an entire series.

"You've got things right through your life. I will definitely be my long life partner as my wife. So I think that the outside influence you to come get a whole lot . I'm sure there'll be a lot in the business world. I senior, great with so many people on the board of BlueScope Steel and I think there's a fair bit of influence I get out of that group . I also Grocon organization where I have been for 20 years and people generally senior people get a fair bit of influence. "

Grollo so defines his own leadership qualities? This is a question, he admits, is difficult to answer.

"I think I probably strategic, that is inspirational leader to go and things that some people may see as challenging and different and is courageous" he says. "And I think I very well with people in our organization that I lead of course, dialogue. I lead by example and is a tough price policy. I move to the front. I also have a chance to people to take the risk. I look at my career and I was afforded the opportunity and how lucky I was, and I therefore age or education or other organization in recognition of a lot of other things like giving people regardless. I People like to have a good chance of success. "

Grollo said that some of their more difficult decisions in an established family company being an organizational leader has been around.

"In a business like this, you guys many, many years are here with some very strong relationship, and not necessarily those of the organization's continuous development of all the people here are always mean is not. that provide some real challenges, a family company where people are quite consistent with the organization's values and principles and in particular can be very involved. "

Grocon Grollo says about being in a tug of war is to see a bigger picture. "We talk about rope in everyone's hands, and how important it is that a team a selfless pull on the cord and make sure they have a collective works in the way of results achieved. This that I have any other individuals in the team as hard as a bridge and all of us that are accountable.

"I like strong leadership, and I look at politicians, whether they decide that their way despite being made or not. I'm sure I agreed with every decision that made Jeff kennett, but strong leadership continued success is important not to have any landscape. my mind is not good leadership consensus. You usually can lead to consensus. This does not mean that a leader should be autocratic and dictatorial, it is That does not make sense. What this means is that a leader needs to be strengthened, the required needs, needs to be fixed, needs to directional. That's what a leader should be. "...
