It’s easy to get excited about the idea of being a ‘leader’, and ‘management’ can seem dull and boring, but we need both. Leadership is about creative thinking, while management involves systems thinking. To be successful in business – and as an individual – we need a clear understanding of the differences and similarities between them, and to know when to lead, and when to manage. Using material from the work of Simon Sinek, Seth Godin and Derek Sivers, along with case studies and real-world examples, this workshop will increase your knowledge and provide you with practical tools and tactics you can use immediately whether you are a small business, or part of a larger team.

“A View from the Top: new perspectives on Leadership”.
Leadership is a topic that’s been written about, discussed and pondered over for thousands of years. From Alexander the Great, Marcus Aurelius and Sun Tzu to Warren Bennis, Winston Churchill and Richard Branson, “great leadership” is interpreted in multiple ways. In this workshop, we’ll be taking a fresh look at what leadership means for you in your own contexts. Whilst there are a number of generally accepted principles of what great leadership looks like, we’ll be considering the implications of a particular definition: “great leadership is whatever works”. Re-read that and notice what thoughts and feelings come to mind….I’ve been working as a leadership coach for 20 years and bring a unique view on the link between how we think & feel and our effectiveness as leaders. We’ll also explore how to spot leadership potential and harness this across your business, regardless of where this comes from. Let’s break the conventions and accepted wisdom of how leadership works – join me to co-create new ways of leading!

The old puzzle: “I need more sales, I can’t afford to advertise but I can’t watch my business die!”
Major stress! One symptom is difficulty in creating ways to improve things. So let’s simplify that task – we’ll get systematic and identify lots of small, cheap and quick things you can do.
We will start from the customer’s experience of buying products or services like yours, and feed that information back into your Customer-Attracting Pathway to improve it.
Every Step On Your Customer-Attracting Pathway Must Work Hard
Most businesses already have 12 steps in their Pathway – from Advertising to Client Retention. Let’s work through these steps so everyone attending finds missing steps, steps they need to improve and ways to redesign each step to lead customers on to the next step more effectively.
With next-to-no-money to spend, we’ll put the steps into priority order for fixing, work out what you can do for free and plan which steps you could spend on when you’ve got some spare funds.
Training course delivered by Dave Simon.
