Simon Hartley's 2025 Biography
“We’ve got some big ambitions and some massive challenges. If I can’t get my top team performing, we’ll never do it”.
“We talk about teamwork and collaboration, but the truth is, we have silos and people pulling against each other. How do we get people working together?”.
“We’ve risen to number two in the world. How do we get to number one?”.
“The big problem is, we need a step change in mindset. We need to start thinking like winners… like champions!”.
“We’ve got a bunch of really good people that are overwhelmed and stressed. What we need is a highly focused team, firing on all cylinders”.
“We talk a lot about values, culture and empowering people, but if I’m honest, we don’t really do it. Until now, we’ve been getting away with it, but we need to start making it happen… and fast!”.
“We’re light on leadership. We have enough managers, but we need more genuine leaders”.
“How do we keep winning? Not once, but year after year after year? That’s the holy grail for me!”.
