Whitworth<\/h6>\n<h6>\u201cA question to reflect on in your teams is the impact of IQ and EQ,\u201d said Holly Ransom.<\/h6>\n<p>The renowned leadership consultant was onstage at the Leaders Sport Performance Summit at Melbourne\u2019s Glasshouse speaking about her book <em>The Leading Edge<\/em>, in which she proposes a framework for leadership based on notion that when we are able to lead ourselves we are better equipped to steward others through periods of change and development.<\/p>\n<p>An audience of more than 200 Leaders Performance Institute members sat with rapt attention as Ransom joined coaches and leaders from organisations including the Brisbane Lions, San Antonio Spurs and Melbourne Business School, all of whom laid out how they are working to ensure their people can navigate the shifting sands of high performance in years to come.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cResearch suggests some of the most in-demand skills by 2030 will be how we work together, connect, and build empathy,\u201d Ransom continued.<\/p>\n<p>Here, in light of those skills, we explore eight ways those who took to the stage are working to future-proof their teams.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Winning strategies are co-created, not imposed top-down<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The recent renaissance in Australian cricket \u2013 the men\u2019s and women\u2019s teams are reigning world champions across four different formats \u2013 has not been a happy accident. Andrew McDonald and Shelley Nitschke, the head coaches of the men\u2019s and women\u2019s teams respectively, stressed the need for thorough performance planning, skilful execution and finding the space to pick up lessons along the way.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>&#8216;What is high performance? It\u2019s the ability to move quickly and make good decisions.&#8217;<\/strong><\/h4>\n<pre>Andrew McDonald, Head Coach, Australia men\u2019s cricket team<\/pre>\n<h4><strong>&#8216;A large focus for us has been trying to create a welcoming and open environment.&#8217;<\/strong><\/h4>\n<pre>Shelley Nitschke, Head Coach, Australia women\u2019s cricket team<\/pre>\n<p><strong>Next steps:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bring your athletes onboard by giving them the agency to help shape your performance plan. McDonald sought to do this by shifting the discourse from talk of \u2018culture\u2019 to one of \u2018environment\u2019 so that players, particularly when on the road, can fashion for themselves safe spaces to share ideas. Whether it\u2019s tactics or using data, Australia\u2019s players are now empowered to make critical in-game decisions.<\/li>\n<li>Success may not be instant and outcomes may be erratic at first. Use low-consequence preparation matches to trial new tactics and strategies; then re-frame what winning means in those moments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Role-model good leadership<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Burnout is a universal problem, with New Zealand and Australia suffering some of the highest rates in the world, according to leadership consultant Holly Ransom. She argues that while stress is inevitable, and can be abated, burnout can be entirely avoided. In her view, the conditions necessary for eradicating burnout stem from empathetic leadership and, when a leader adapts their habits, it gives permission for others to do the same.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>&#8216;If we want to see it, we have to be it.&#8217;<\/strong><\/h4>\n<pre>Holly Ransom on the notion that we can\u2019t sustain leadership, without leading ourselves first.<\/pre>\n<p><strong>Next steps:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Spend time reflecting on whether the habits you\u2019re living by and leading with are still serving you well. Are they supporting you using your energy on the tasks that matter most? Are you getting a return on that energy?<\/li>\n<li>Ransom suggested three steps for deactivating the nervous system and returning to a state of calm and relaxation:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">1) <strong>Complete an energy audit<\/strong> \u2013 when are our natural highs and lows in a day, and how are we using them?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">2) <strong>Establish your building blocks<\/strong> \u2013 do the little things that help you build momentum.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">3) <strong>Set your micro-breaks<\/strong> \u2013 take time to get mini hits of new energy.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Do you promote safe risk taking in the pursuit of innovation?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Kit Wise of the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology [RMIT] and Budi Miller of the Theatre of Others, an innovative performing arts company, were invited onstage to share their approaches to fostering creativity and risk-taking in their environments.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>&#8216;Our philosophy is centred around inspiration, aspiration and expectation. Inspiration is liberating, fun, and what gives us desire. Aspiration \u2013 the why and our values and purpose. Expectation \u2013 have fun and think deeply about what you do so we can hold one another to account.&#8217;<\/strong><\/h4>\n<pre>Professor Kit Wise, Dean, School of Art, RMIT<\/pre>\n<h4><strong>&#8216;We talk a lot about play and playfulness in our philosophy. It is a sense of freedom where play and risk exist together. Play and playfulness elevate the speed of curiosity and problem solving.&#8217;<\/strong><\/h4>\n<pre>Budi Miller, Co-Artistic Director, Theatre of Others<\/pre>\n<p><strong>Next steps:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Risk-taking can be brave. Find ways to build trust and empathy within your team.<\/li>\n<li>Encourage risk-taking and rule-breaking in the pursuit of innovation. They are fundamental to innovation, not merely in-the-moment flashes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>Learning and development is easier when people feel connected and a sense of purpose<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The New Zealand All Blacks and San Antonio Spurs are worlds apart in sporting terms but share numerous commonalities when it comes to bringing to life and sustaining a winning culture. Beyond results, both are renowned for creating environments where people and innovation flourish, as the All Blacks\u2019 Mike Anthony and Spurs\u2019 Phil Cullen explained.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>&#8216;We want to have teams that you never want to leave. The environment has to be special to keep people there.&#8217;<\/strong><\/h4>\n<pre>Mike Anthony, High Performance Development Manager, New Zealand Rugby Union<\/pre>\n<h4><strong>&#8216;When we were planning our new training facility, Coach [Gregg] Popovic had only two requests: take care of the people and take care of the culture.&#8217;<\/strong><\/h4>\n<pre>Phil Cullen, Senior Director of Basketball Operations and Organizational Development, San Antonio Spurs<\/pre>\n<p><strong>Next steps:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>New Zealand Rugby have identified five factors that enable their group to flourish:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">1) <strong>Connection<\/strong> \u2013 players take pride in serving their community.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">2) <strong>Balance<\/strong> \u2013 the group looks for learning, stimulation and edge.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">3) <strong>Fun<\/strong> \u2013 a big part of balance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">4) <strong>Learning<\/strong> \u2013 athletes learn by doing; so what environment will facilitate the best learning?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">5) <strong>Family<\/strong> \u2013 the organisation has worked to bring families in while also helping them to understand the expectations of an athlete in high performance sport.<\/p>\n<p>The Spurs have their three core values:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">1) <strong>Character<\/strong>, which is based on values.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">2) <strong>Selflessness<\/strong>, which is culture-focused.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">3) <strong>\u2018Pound the Rock\u2019<\/strong>. A metaphor inspired by 19th Century Danish-American social reformer Jacob Riis. His <i>Stonecutter\u2019s Credo<\/i> perfectly captures the Spurs\u2019 drive for championships:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>\u201cWhen nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<pre style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">The Stonecutter\u2019s Credo, Jacob Riis<\/pre>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong>Empower athletes in their learning<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The Brisbane Lions men&#8217;s team, under the stewardship of Senior Coach Chris Fagan, have in recent years returned to prominence for the first time in a generation. Amongst the factors responsible for their rise is their ability to out-learn their opponents, as High Performance Manager Damien Austin explained.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>&#8216;Do we do what makes us comfortable or do we do what the athlete needs to do or learn?&#8217;<\/strong><\/h4>\n<pre>Damien Austin, High Performance Manager, Brisbane Lions<\/pre>\n<p><strong>Next steps:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You have to educate the \u2018why\u2019 for athletes and encourage them to take responsibility. Start by gathering their input when shaping your habits and standards. And remember: no one is above the basics, no mater how good they are.<\/li>\n<li>Consider: what are your athletes taking away from training? Did they retain the requisite knowledge? Are they enjoying your training environment? Do they have any fears or concerns? Find out and iterate. Be sure to check for misunderstanding and guide them in their learning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li><strong>Dare or challenge your people to change<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Models for change are all good and well \u2013 change is inevitable, so perhaps they are entirely necessary \u2013 but what are some of the so-called \u2018soft\u2019 factors that enable a leader to influence change? Professor Jen Overbeck was on hand in Melbourne to dispense some tips for explaining and justifying change to others.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>&#8216;We can make people change, or we can persuade them to change. We should choose deliberately, and be clear about what makes them listen to us.&#8217;<\/strong><\/h4>\n<pre>Jen Overbeck, Associate Dean, Melbourne Business School<\/pre>\n<p><strong>Next steps:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your capacity to influence \u2013 built by your credibility in the eyes of others \u2013 must be established well before you need to rely upon it. What gives you credibility and lets you influence others? If you get it right: they will admire, like and trust you. They\u2019ll think they\u2019re in good hands, that you bring success, or access to good things. They\u2019ll think you got to where you are in the right way.<\/li>\n<li>A leader has to balance their social capital (their membership of \u2018the tribe\u2019) and their intellectual capital (their competence). Sometimes you have to simply be part of the tribe. At other times, you can simply demonstrate that you support the values and core identity of the tribe, and that you\u2019re willing to fit in with them instead of challenging or resisting them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li><strong>No sustained performance without wellbeing<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Wellbeing and performance are indivisible, yet there is more we can all be doing to ensure our people can flourish. At the Glasshouse, Emily Downes of High Performance Sport New Zealand and Sonia Boland from the Australian Institute of Sport provided an insight into their work helping people to thrive amidst the challenges presented by high performance sport.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>&#8216;A lot of conversations around wellbeing have centred around the duty of care but not touched upon its direct impact on performance. We are now observing a shift and evolution in the system where there is a readiness to have conversations around the benefits of wellbeing.&#8217;<\/strong><\/h4>\n<pre>Emily Downes, General Manager \u2013 Wellbeing &amp; Leadership, High Performance Sport New Zealand<\/pre>\n<h4><strong>&#8216;We are striving for sustained and repeated performance outcomes. Wellbeing is a performance enabler and opportunity.&#8217;<\/strong><\/h4>\n<pre>Sonia Boland, National Wellbeing Manager, Australian Institute of Sport<\/pre>\n<p><strong>Next steps:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Language is so important. It is becoming evident that we are all talking about different things when we discuss wellbeing. Find terms that makes sense and have meaning to your people.<\/li>\n<li>Resource alone is not enough. None of it means anything if those above and below are compounding the problem \u2013 it requires integration at an organisational or system level to have a true impact.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"8\">\n<li><strong>Better athlete and coach development for women and girls<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>As women\u2019s sport continues to evolve, the system will need the athletes and the coaches to fill the spaces created. Given the hitherto piecemeal approach to developing women\u2019s sport, and the often misunderstood differences between men and women athletes, this is far from a given. Helene Wilson of High Performance Sport New Zealand and Tarkyn Lockyer of the AFL are two individuals meeting this challenge head on.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>&#8216;Athletes aren\u2019t as exposed to women coaching. Could this actually bring a point of difference?&#8217;<\/strong><\/h4>\n<pre>Helene Wilson, High Performance Sport New Zealand<\/pre>\n<h4><strong>&#8216;The easy way would be for women and girls\u2019 pathways to mirror the boys and men\u2019s. In terms of resourcing, it is the same. However, feedback collated from the clubs and players shows that girls and women want more education around high performance and knowledge of preparation and recovery. Boys and men prefer more competition and game time. The needs are different so the curriculum needs to match that.&#8217;<\/strong><\/h4>\n<pre>Tarkyn Lockyer, Australian Football League<\/pre>\n<p><strong>Next steps:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Given the speed of growth in women\u2019s sport, the focus needs to be on creating adaptable and malleable athletes. To do this, focus on the fundamental skills in a high challenge, high support environment.<\/li>\n<li>For the development of both women coaches and athletes, it\u2019s not just about providing opportunity.
