Becoming the boss

Summary

Leaders are made, not born. Come and discover some basics in this interactive webinar.

Becoming a leader is often accompanied by “imposter syndrome”. I can’t do this! Will I get found out?

The good news is that leadership isn’t reserved for the few and neither does it require a specific “personality” – in fact, authenticity is really important. But with billions of website hits and tens of thousands of books on the subject, where do you start?

This 90-minute webinar will provide some clues and blend theory with forty years of leadership experience in a number of different contexts to provide helpful pointers to get you started on your leadership journey. 

Being an effective boss isn’t just becoming a better engineer than your team – in fact, that belief is a significant barrier. After all, how many Chief Execs can do the work of everybody in their company better than the individuals concerned? But understanding some principles of how to get the best from people will take us a long way.
