Leadership Coaching and Development: Unashamedly political, I spend a lot of time in my life and my work defining what constitutes ‘good leadership’. I don’t believe that our government is exhibiting any of the traits I seek. Let’s take a look at the current political circumstances as if you were running a business shall we […]
Leadership Development: Sabotage: If I asked: “How are you undermining your team, business or project?” I’m guessing that your immediate response to that question is “I’m not!”. Swiftly followed by a ‘Why would I do that?” . You’d be surprised at the potholes we can create for ourselves. And, as we self-sabotage, we roll that […]
Leadership Development: Responsibility. What do I know about Leadership? I know that you can only go as fast as your slowest team member. I know that having a vision isn’t enough, that somehow you need to earn the engagement of not only those you pay but also the wider network of those you don’t. I […]
