Well, I have had a very interesting time meeting many new people and learning the benefits of networking and also what a vast amount of knowledge is available to those who actually ask.
I was recently asked to name the qualities of a good leader and after giving this much thought, realised that some of the absolutely key attributes are very simple and easy to put into practise.
I have been honoured to mix and hear some of the best leaders in the world speak and advise and without a doubt all of them talk about their teams and how much they listen to them. Many of these men and women also base their success on their intuitive ability to select good people and openly admit that they alone could not have or know everything BUT by surrounding themselves with well educated experts and passionate business people, they have been able to focus on pure leadership drive and create inspirational vision which their teams implement superbly.
So.... with this in mind here are some tips on been a great leader
1. Listen to your clients, your business and your people
2. Make clear and precise decisions based upon facts not emotion
3. Connect emotionally and passionately to your people - they are the front line and connect to most of your client base
4. Walk the talk - be seen and be seen to act
5. Don't expect everyone to agree or understand BUT ensure you do everything possible to make sure they do
6. Put a good communication plan in place and monitor it to ensure it moves with the business
7. Appreciate your people - they make you successful
8. Don't be afraid to be different or inspirational - just do it
9. Make sure everyone who is 'on the bus' is making it a good trip and contributing the right skills
10. Don't be afraid to admit you don't know and then make sure you have the people who do
11. Make the business goals and vision accessible at all levels
12. Check and review - ensure a trustworthy advisor in place to give you accurate and objective overviews
13. Size doesn't matter when you are a good leader - communicate and connect and use your people skills first and foremost
14. Leading does not always mean you have to be the only one stood at the front all the time - give your people space to grow and impress
There is nothing worse than leading from the front only to turn around and find yourself alone!
It's been a grand week so far, I've met with new business partners and got some fantastic new virtual coaching plans which will really help businesses grow and develop...so exciting and uplifting to be working with such good people; not just good hearts but amazing knowledge and experiences.
Then mad dash to Doncaster to be on fabby Gail Powell sinefm radio show http://www.sinefm.com/a_z_of_shows/feel_good_factor : meeting amazing Maureen Shah who went from a size 22 to a neat size 12 and is now taking on the Jordan trek for Bluebell children's hospice because she feels so lucky and wants to give back was fabulous and I got to talk business and coaching and mentoring...another great love as many of you already know.
Hotfooted to meet the amazing Kate Hardcastle and honoured to be part of a brilliant team to organise the Secret Garden fashion show on 15th of May at Bradford bulls - humbled when you meet the rest of the team and listen to the superb things they do and how easily they support and share their experience and time to help support EVE - It's going to be fabulous - drop me a line if you want tickets or to sponsor or even have a stall (only £50 - we need sportswear, milliner and shoes at the moment) - I will be a sponsor as well as part of team - so check out http://www.whoiskatehardcastle.co.uk/business/bradford-bulls-2/the-secret-garden-fashion-show/
Met a new client to set up their first strategy and business development meeting - really looking forward to this as our target is to double growth in 2 years.............had a BIG COFFEE to keep me going - I never have enough work!
Trotted over to meet a great couple to coach and advise on their cafe and catering business - some great work through adversity and we generated excellent ideas to move forward and make even more successful............who knows what next, lots of food for thought.
Jumped in the car over to superb Forward Ladies dinner I was hosting at Nosh with Ben Franco giving us the 5 star treatment - great fun to catch up with top ladies in Huddersfield - Huddersfield Town Foundation and Charity Arc Angel Mandy B, Ramsdens Family Partner and great FL supporter Helen T, Christine and Gill from Wilby's ( we were fully covered), Nikki Bar 10 ( fab place for fun and laughter), Caroline (Peters class retail), Vikki keeping us on the roads (pink link) , Lorraine C ( keeping us compliant) - great fun, fab food, lots of giggles. check out www.forwardladies.com
Back to Sheffield for some top advice on how to write your book ...and I listened hard as I have a contract and need first chapter submitted to publisher for MAY....I'm not panicking at all...honest. The other ladies who attended (I was hosting) had some fantastic ideas, amazing stories and experience to share...wow ...brain cells in overload.
Got confirmation that I am looking after the VIP's for BUY YORKSHIRE conference so honing my walkie talkie skills in preparation. Looking forward to this as always so many great people to meet and get to know.
Got back to office and got news that telecall campaign that I just finished got great feedback and blew target set, so very happy to deliver on this one....plus I can invoice today.....hooray
