Create a solid circle Being the Queen and being th CEO of an organisation share many common things. One of them is that although it looks like it’s a one-person job, in reality, it requires a team effort. The Queen had a solid circle of advisers that she collaborated with – listening to their opinions and suggestions before making a decision. She’s also always been very good at delegating tasks and sharing responsibilities with the other members of the Royal Family. A great leader understands the importance of having an excellent team that you collaboratively work with and most importantly, making the most of their different areas of expertise, experiences and points of view. Build your own personal brand Queen Elizabeth II is generally considered to be one of the most recognisable faces in the world. From her distinctive style of dressing – looking just as fabulous in a designer suit as in a raincoat and wellies – through to her persona and the way she speaks and acts, over the years, she’s managed to build an extremely strong personal brand for herself. Having your authentic brand as a leader is extremely important for how you’re perceived within the organisation and could open many doors beyond that too. Work hard but find time to do what you love Queen Elizabeth II has always been a hard worker fully devoted to her role and her nation. Her schedule has always been manic. However, it’s no secret that she’s also always managed to balance her responsibilities with her hobbies. She’s always valued the benefits of finding time to do the things she enjoys doing like spending time with her corgis, visiting her horses and eating sandwiches with raspberry jam. Balancing work and play, and specifically being able to dedicate some time to do the things that make you truly happy and soothe your mind and soul is an incredibly important lesson for busy leaders - and one that can only have a positive impact on all aspects of your life.
