“The time-of-day people most dislike, is the time they spend with their boss. This says something about the management style that we have been generating in recent years. There is too much rule by the creation of anxiety and fear, and not enough by motivation and enjoyment and inspiration. We need bosses who will inspire, and lead by inspiring, rather than by frightening people.”

Lord Richard Layard, Founder and Director of the Centre for Economic Performance at the London School of Economics

While it might be tempting to lay the blame firmly at the door of managers, in reality, we know only around 20% of organisations train their staff in the skills to effectively lead, inspire, and motivate their people. How can someone be expected to do well in a task or role for which they have no experience or training? Would we expect the same from a doctor or civil engineer?

It’s time support our managers and equip them with the right tools to do a good job.

Our highly effective Leadership Essentials: Empowering People Managers programme is designed to ensure key learning combined with bespoke training dependent on existing skills, development needs and senior leader recommendation. In this way our Leadership Essentials: Empowering People Managers programme is highly adaptable throughout businesses and organisations, irrespective of sector, role or seniority.
