Activities Brief

What Makes a Good Leader? 

Leadership is absolutely key when it comes to setting goals, motivating staff, managing people and achieving results. Unfortunately too many leadership courses focus on extraordinary, inspirational leaders on the world stage. Tim in Accounts is never going to have the gravitas of Nelson Mandela, Amitra in Admin is no Angela Merkel. Nevertheless if all staff understand basic, leadership qualities it can make a real difference to their own everyday performance: presenting ideas, instigating change, pouring oil on troubled waters, showing objective judgement. This pack challenges many of the above ideas and puts leadership in a new light.
