7 Lessons from Gail Kelly for life & business

1. Choose to be positive and look for the learning, insights & opportunities in difficult times.
2. Do what you love, love what you do- this leads to confidence, energy and doing more. It’s a cycle.
3. Be bold, dig deep – you may be scared but back yourself using your internal resources and external support.
4. Right people on the bus, wrong people off – asking if the right people are in the right roles is a factor leading to leadership and organisational success. (Read Good to Great by Jim Collins).
5. Vision – communicating vision and purpose in a crystal clear way is important. Equally important is asking the question “why do we exist”.
6. Generosity of spirit – treat individuals with respect and want them to flourish.
7. Live a whole life- live a well balanced life with clear priorities.
