Head 4 Leadership’s Mission: To increase leadership authenticity, courage and compassion

There is a quote about leadership that Head4Leadership particular like:

‘The challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humour but without folly’.

Jim Rohn

Our Leadership Workshops harnesses and share people’s experiences of leading and of being led in the workplace. We explore the behaviours that stimulates trust, creativity and performance. There are plenty of examples where the style and skill of a leader influences strongly a company’s leadership culture and people engagement; and ultimately it’s performance.

Why leadership development matters

How people feel about their leaders is constantly being assessed and updated. People constantly check if they feel safe and trust those that have power over them.

Head 4 Leadership conducted some interviews to understand the experience of leadership. Looking at leading from both sides, highlighted the impact of a leaders behaviour on those they lead. They show how they impact not only a person’s reputation, well being and performance, but that of the organisation they represent.

These quotes match-up to more rigorous research in learning and development conducted by the likes of Gallup and Forbes, which indicates what matters to those you lead that can steer how you show up for them.

Head 4 Leadership’s workshops focus on skills and mindsets for positive growth that benefits both the individual leader and the organisation.

Anecdotes – both sides of the leadership experience

About being led

He was a bully, but charmed and blinded the top team with his charts and gizmos. I can’t tell you how many people he was rude to, ridiculed and took their ideas as their own. How do these smart people at the top not see what we see?

They were the ‘go to’ person from the senior team; no ego, calm and they’d listen. They wanted to know my views and a they were respected by EVERYONE – a one off!

About leading others

I had a team member who was a nightmare. I dreaded seeing them and didn’t know how to handle them. I know my peers were delighted they weren’t in their team; and they couldn’t offer any ideas because they didn’t know what to do either.

Its not the decision making and difficult choices that I find the hardest. These are challenging, but not nearly as much as getting the communication of them right. I have received very direct feedback and it can be tough to hear!
