BE different

Hiring the next generation of leaders

Many organisations see hiring high potential managers as a simple task of recruitment and selection: perhaps using some form of selection process, interviews, assessment centres and perhaps psychometric tests.

Finding the next job - Employees being made redundant.

Making some employees redundant may be unavoidable but helping them look for a new start is not. We have designed a two day workshop for those who are to move on. For trainers and coaches and those in HR this workshop design is free and described in www.business-enlightenment.com

Leadership –too vague to be useful?

Leadership is a concept frequently used in management and politics but it is seldom, if ever, defined.

The CV/Resume is a sales document and should not form the basis for an interview.

Even today managers seem to believe that interviewing potential employees by using their CV/Resume’ as the basis for interview questions is a sound idea.

Predicting a candidate and interviewers approach to behaviours.

In selection interviewing the interviewer is trying to predict a candidate’s behaviour in a specific job role.

Downsizing & Recovery – Don’t lose the benefits as well as the staff.

A major downsizing is often a necessary fact of business life. Whether due to financial constraints, new technology, work processes or the like, it is a time for re-balancing and re-focusing.

Solving the Change and Transformation Rubiks Cube.

CEOs and business leaders have seen a new phrase over the last few years - Change and Transformation. Now a discipline in its own right, the veritable ' Rubiks cube' of change is difficult to solve.

Building the I.S. future foundations from past learning.

Why is it many senior leaders and executives perceive their I.S. strategy, if they have one, has not and is still not delivering the expected business outcomes but still incurring considerable costs? Why are these leaders also sceptical of the role technology will play in the organisations future growth and success.

A cultural flight simulator would be nice.

In the training of a commercial airline pilot, a flight simulator is used. As a senior HR director in industry, I often wished I had a similar simulator for practicing in advance the integration of a new executive joining the company.

Why followership is more important than leadership.

 Ask yourself two simple questions:

1. If a leader believes they have “leadership” skills but the followers do not; does the leader actually have leadership skills?

2. If a leader does not believe they have “leadership” skills but the followers do; then does the leader have “leadership” skills?
