Podcasts about Chris Roebuck

In today's episode, I'm joined by Chris Roebuck, a leadership expert with over 30 years of experience. In this episode, we're tackling one of the biggest problems many small business owners face: too much work and not enough time. Chris shares his simple yet powerful four-step system to help leaders become more effective and accelerate their success. We'll dive into optimizing task delivery, getting the best from people, communicating the big picture, and fostering an entrepreneurial mindset—all essential to scaling your coaching business and achieving lasting transformation.Guest Introduction:Today's guest, Chris Roebuck, is a globally recognized leadership expert. He has over 30 years of experience working with major organizations like HSBC, UBS, and the UK NHS. Chris has been named one of HR's most influential thinkers 10 times. He specializes in blending neuroscience, business insights, and real-world experience to empower leaders to maximize their potential and achieve measurable success. Chris is passionate about helping leaders unlock their true potential, and his strategies have helped organizations worldwide. His approach is invaluable for coaches looking to elevate their businesses and create meaningful transformation for their clients.The Leadership Success Formula - Key Takeaways:Step 1: Optimized Task DeliveryFocus on prioritization, time management, delegation, communication, and regular feedback to ensure tasks are delivered effectively. Effective task management creates more bandwidth for higher-level tasks and for scaling your online coaching business.Step 2: Get the Best From PeopleLeaders (and coaches) can inspire high performance with simple, human-centered actions like showing care, acting with integrity, supporting career development, and providing regular feedback. These actions are cost-effective, can be done more each day, and result in significantly better performance—up to 25-36% more effort. A key for coaches who want to grow a team or cultivate transformation in their clients.Step 3: Align Efforts with Organizational GoalsLeaders must communicate the organization's vision clearly and help team members understand how their work contributes to the larger picture. This is essential for business scaling, especially when communicating how the business goals align with personal goals, motivating people to put in their best efforts.Step 4: Foster an Entrepreneurial MindsetEncourage an entrepreneurial approach by optimizing risk, simplifying processes, innovating, and challenging the status quo. This step is critical for coaches and online businesses to stay competitive and innovative while building a business that's not only sustainable but also scalable.Getting the Best from People:Chris emphasizes that getting the best from people doesn't have to be complicated. Reflecting on the best boss you've had can reveal simple actions that inspire high performance. Leaders (and coaches) can inspire their team or clients by asking for ideas, showing care, acting with integrity, and supporting career development. These actions don't cost money and can increase employee (or client) effort by 25-36%.Communicating the Big Picture:Step 3 focuses on ensuring team members (or clients) understand how their work fits into the organization's larger goals. Leaders should regularly explain the company's vision and how individual roles contribute to that vision. This is crucial for creating alignment, especially as you scale your coaching business. When people understand the big picture, they are more motivated, collaborate more effectively, and stay committed to the mission.Entrepreneurial Mindset in Business:Step 4 is about thinking and acting entrepreneurially, even within larger organizations.

Why can't managers manage?This week I turn my attention to the quality of management in organisations or perhaps the lack of it.  Are good bosses as rare as hen's teeth? Without fail, poor management is one of the top, if not the top reason we leave organisations.  Why can't managers manage?Chris Roebuck is the honorary Visiting Professor of Transformational leadership at London's Cass Business School. A former serving military officer, Chris is also former global head of Leadership at HSBC Investment Bank and UBS.  Whilst at UBS, the work that Chris and his team delivering success through people became a Harvard Business Review Case Study.Speaking truth to power [5:33]A fundamental element of an open culture is the ability for employees to tell managers the truth.  Workers who are frightened of delivering bad news or news they don't think managers want to hear can lead to catastrophic events such as the Boeing 737 Max disaster and BP's Deepwater Horizon disaster in 2010.Changing workplace culture [09:14]Chris argues that even if the c-suite are committed to changing an organisational culture, the message often gets diluted as the message filters down.  Managers are often distracted by their own operational issues. Many people argue this is because communications say in a global business are complex. Chris disagrees and points to a 50 year old communications framework published by the Industrial Society (since rebranded as The Work Foundation) called 'Team Briefing' that provides the fundamentals of good communication that he believes far too many organisations ignore.Should HR be guardians of organisational culture? [13:16]No is the simple answer. The C-Suite are the guardians of the culture along with other leaders in the organisation.  HR are their to facilitate and support.  If leaders and managers abrogate their responsibility to HR, the leader is just passing the buck.  The employee relationship rests with the line manager and it's the line manager who needs to do the talking.Why don't business schools teach leadership skills? [17:20]I ask why business schools seem to be so poor at teaching soft skills. Chris responds saying this sort of training is seen as old fashioned and unimportant and business strategy is the sexy stuff.  Chris provides some startling statistics that underline that managers are ill-equipped to to deal with overwhelming majority having never received any management training in for example effective delegation.What lessons can be learnt from military training? [21:28]Chris is a veteran of the world-famous Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. He comments that Sandhurst and other military academies around the world don't even talk about strategy until the officer cadets are skilled in the basics such as time management, prioritisation, communication, giving feedback and delegating to others.  These he feels are valuable lessons managers in the civilian organisations should be taught.Does effective management equal better team productivity? [23:59]Chris suggests that it is basically impossible to draw a direct correlation between management performance and the performance of teams or individuals as its impossible to isolate this one variable.  However, he quotes plenty of statistics that  demonstrates that employees who are managed by an effective and inspirational manager will drive bottom line performance.What's the one thing that defines a good boss? [34.33]Chris reveals the single leadership quality that he says is mentioned time and again when hew asks audiences to describe the best manager they ever had.Resourceshttps://ovenreadyhr.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/podcasthost/https://chrisroebuck.livehttps://www.lancaster.ac.uk/work-foundation/

The UK has suffered its deadliest day in the coronavirus outbreak so far after 786 people died on Monday, bringing the death toll to just over 6,100. The grim update comes as British Prime Minister Boris Johnson remains in intensive care in a London hospital where he's battling COVID-19. His office says he's receiving oxygen treatment but isn't on a ventilator, and he doesn't have pneumonia. But as Sarah Morice reports, it's left the country wondering who's in charge while the prime minister fights the virus, and who'll be at the helm if he doesn't survive? For more on Boris Johnson's hospitalisation, we spoke to Chris Roebuck in Kent in the UK. He is a visiting professor of Transformational Leadership at Cass Business School. #BritishPM #Coronavirus #BorisJohnson

(2:00)Mr. Roebuck discusses where the idea for Clicktivated came from, and the market needs that it serves. He also talks about the influence of previous interactive efforts on the company. Chapter 3: What was missing in the market before? (5:10)Mr. Roebuck enumerates several things that are present in the market today that suggest now is a great time to try interactivity again. “It takes a long time for consumers to become used to something, conditioned to doing something.”Chapter 4: The company’s technology (6:30)AI and machine learning are helping Clicktivated identify what’s going on in the video. The company has also come up with some novel, unobtrusive approaches to displaying interactive elements on the screen. Bookmarks are an essential part of the innovation that the company is providing.Chapter 5: Clicktivated partners and clients (10:50)Mr. Roebuck talks about some of the big-name ad clients with which Clicktivated is working.

Mr. Roebuck wisely takes timespends time to define what engagement means to Clicktivated. He then gives actual engagement lift figures.

Chris Roebuck is the author of the new bestselling book, Lead to Succeed: The Only Leadership Book You Need. Based on over 30 years of being a leader and developing, assessing and coaching leaders around the world, Chris explains the tried and true basics of leadership and describes them in engaging, useful details. His book has been described as a “breakthrough” in thinking about leadership. Chris takes a view of leadership that can help you or other leaders be effective, ethical, entrepreneurial and engaging. The principle is simple – just two steps – one, maximize the effort your people give, then focus that on what really matters for the organization. In this episode, Chris lays out the first step – maximizing the effort of people – Mach 1 leadership as he calls it. Chris is a visiting Professor of Transformational Leadership at Cass Business School in London and advises major global organizations on improving performance through their people.

While Chris was the Global Head of Leadership at UBS the bank won the title Best Company for Leaders in Europe and the story of the organizational success is now a Harvard Business School case study.
