Business Leadership is a never ending pursuit
Business Leadership
In my opinion business leadership is very different to management, influence or planning. Read on if you want to learn more. Leadership comes from not just who you are, but how you are perceived by others. We all need leadership skills in our lives – no matter what role you play in your business.
The role of the business leader is to inspire those around them and this will deliver commercial results. Also, I believe the role of the leader to create a vision, set the values, and align everybody to those and also to make sure that every team member is aligned to the plan.
Much of my time I spend exploring every aspect of Business Leadership and in this selection of posts I share what I have learned myself, and also what I have discovered and applied from reading books, and attending seminars.

‘I made it’ – another year of business success…
Small Business Projects for 2017 I titled this blog '‘I made it’ – another year of small business success…' - but perhaps it should have been ''phew I survived' - without any major incidents in 2016'. As 2016 drew to a close I felt both relief, and a sense of...
So you think you need an investor?

4 ways to unite people in the ‘gig economy’ age
