Think About

How to lead a team to give 100%

“If we hold the reins too tight, our people make process-based decisions instead of ones that make sense at that time, in that unique situation, for that individual guest. We can create empowerment by getting our people to think about how they can solve a problem — starting with ‘yes’.
— Virgin Australia’s General Manager of Inflight Experience, Tash Tobias

Leadership has always been integral to Virgin’s success. The brand has been thriving for close to 50 years, thanks to the conviction of their leaders, and their ability to empower their teams to give (and get!) 100 percent.

It’s no secret that empowerment is an essential aspect of modern leadership, Tash puts this into perspective.
“Leadership is about really looking after the people in your care. It’s about removing their obstacles and making it easy for them to deliver exceptional customer experiences. It’s not about telling them what to do, or how to do it,” Tash says.
In doing this, she places utmost importance on transparency and connectivity. Tash explains: “Really strong leaders can make a connection in 60 seconds — it’s not really about formal meetings, or a long email to a team or team member. It’s about constant quick conversations and staying in touch with what’s happening for people.”

Happy to help.
