Are they Born, or can leadership be Learnt?
What makes a GREAT leader?
This is question that will be posed by many a business leader over the next 100 years.
Because how many of us wants to be known as a BAD leader!!
We want history to be kind to us and therefore the pursuit of honing the skill and craft of leadership is essential in these 'fluid' times to grow our businesses and to get the best out of our people.
We have seen, chatted and worked with 10,000s of business leaders, so hopefully we have a good appreciation of what 'good leadership' looks like.
One way that we help our clients navigate this element of what 'good' looks in leadership is to subject them to our 360 Leadership Review.
This is an online assessment that focussed on 5 key facets of leadership, that I will explain from the diagram below:

Leaders have to learn and assess to become GREAT leaders. When was the last time that you assessed your leadership credentials with your people?
