Are you a leader or a manager?

What impact is your natural leadership style having on your business?

Today’s volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous business environment needs leaders and managers to work in harmony within their organisations and understand the importance of their different roles and the synergy required.

Leaders need to understand how they can have the best impact upon those around them. If you are in a position of leadership or aspiring to a position of leadership then this course is for you!

This breakfast will enable attendees to:

• Define leadership
• Understand the demands placed upon a business leader
• Comprehend the difference between leading and managing
• Recognise their natural leadership style and its implications
• Identify leadership areas for personal development

"In my new role as a manager of a team I found it difficult to assess how to approach various issues which naturally occur when a group of very different people are put together.

"I fully believed that I was not a natural team leader and was sceptical that I could ever learn to become one. Left to my own devices I would have carried on in insecurity and confusion, but my experience at Sampson Hall’s leadership training day helped me to realise that I already had a lot of the qualities required and with their help and guidance I can approach the challenges with confidence and help my team to realise their full potential..and enjoy doing so!
