Messages From Our Clients
James Mclauchlan
10 years of facilitating over 1000 events with 100’s of different companies has taught me 1 thing above all else. The team culture and dynamics of the participants mirrors the leader in the room.
Nothing brings this into focus for me more than when I run multiple events for the same company but with different departments.
One morning I was chatting to the leader of department A before the event. He was easy going, talkative, interested in the program. He took a few minutes to walk around the room meeting the team as they arrived. People arrived on time and there was the hum of general chitchat in the air, the event was a breeze, everyone participated, enjoyed the experience and the leader took an active part throughout.
The next day department B arrived, half the room was missing just a few minutes before the event, there was NO chatting at all, lots of people staring at their phones.
The leader arrived shortly before the event started and stood at the back of the room with his arms crossed. He didn’t participant at all though the event but we still did our best to engage the group.
The overall event really wasn’t great. Same company, same event, 2 different leaders, vastly different outcomes.
If you are a leader yourself or someone looking for information on leadership there are 3 things that stand out to me.
1. Have you ever seriously consciously considered whether you actually want to be a leader? Leadership is not easy, it takes time and energy and may never give you the same satisfaction as being an individual contributor. Don’t just fall into leadership because it may be tied to a higher salary.
2. Leaders have far more influence on the people around them than they might realise, simply look at my story above. Self awareness the starting place on your leadership journey. Start by knowing your strengths. The Clifton Strengths Finder is a well known and accessible tool to discover your strengths.
3. It’s a continuous journey. Over the last 5 years there is an increase in focus on support and coaching, especially for the younger generations. Do you consider yourself an effective coach? One simple but effective coaching model I still sometimes still use today is the GROW model.

What are the best trainings for managers?

How can leadership training programs be more effective?
Beyond the actual training training program, which should be interactive, relevant, and aligned with the organisation’s goals, leadership develpement should be a journey.
