• Identify what resonates with being relevant.

Feedback

the person.• Indicates what they need to improve.• Grows and develops the people you are leading.• Starts with you as the leader, you must grow a

culture that giving and receiving feedback is healthy.

Growing & Leading Great Teams• Utilise the strengths of the people you are

surrounded by empowering them to work to these strengths.

motivation to work to their optimum.• Have thorough induction and training

systems, then check in regularly to see how they going.

• Build the leadership capability for the long term in your organisation.

Leadership• Leadership is action, not a position.• Leaders become great, not because of

their power, but because of their ability to empower others.

• One of the most essential qualities of leadership is not perfection but credibility, this means that people have to be able to trust you.
