A recruitment leader shares three principles: lead by example and never ask your team to do what you won't, make profit targets visible and constantly communicate them, and use a clear framework to define problems and explore options. The approach works best with a team hired to think alike.

I'm not naturally sort of a leader leader, but if I see you're doing something good and I know I can benefit from it, I'll go and adapt and I'll apply that. But I think the basic ones, especially from a recruiting perspective, is lead by example. I wouldn't be saying anything to my guys, something that I wouldn't do or they can't do. So I'll have that in mind. So leading, leading with an example. Also what I'm thinking, what I'm wanting from the team, like communicating that enough and make it visible. So that we're all bought into the same vision. If I've got a target in my head that I need to make a million pound profit this year, let's say, and I'm not communicating that to my top leaders, when I'm driving them, because they don't know, they're not bought into it. So I'm just constantly telling them, like, right, Aaron, this month, this is the plan, mate. This is what we're doing. This is what it means for you. This is what it means for me. How do we get the troops behind it? So I think those two things, leading by an example, Having the vision. And I think you had Andrew on your show, still a test, so pick this up from him. The framework, the management framework, like, okay, there's a problem, how do we solve it? What options do we've got? So keeping it relevant, keeping it fresh and revisiting it. That's for me, a leadership style that works. And the reality of the situation is, when you're working with like-minded people, when you're working with the kind of people that you've either trained yourself, or you've got them into the business yourself, that does work. Because they're more or less thinking like you as well.
