Leadership after the Hayne Commission

The banking royal commission has been tough on financial services, and as the industry navigates its way through the changes that will come about when recommendations start being implemented, it’s also going to be tough for the industry.

Whether you loved or hated her comedy, you can’t help but admire Joan Rivers’ amazing work ethic. This lady was 81 years old and in the prime of her career – working right up until the day she passed away.

One of my guilty pleasures is watching “Fashion Police” on the E Channel. Unfortunately Joan, the show’s host, recently passed away unexpectedly from complications with a minor surgery.

If every member of your staff were able to contribute an extra hour of effective productivity every day, imagine what that would do to your bottom line. The good news is that it’s absolutely possible.

The first few months of the year is a time to feel refreshed and invigorated. It’s generally full of New Year’s resolutions and things to do differently. As a part-time fitness instructor I also know it as the month that many decide to focus on wellbeing – class numbers at the gym are, quite frankly, a little frightening.

Save time and energy and save your staff by working on productivity.

Two of the biggest issues for financial planners and other small business owners always seem to be:

2) Staff – how to keep great staff
