Leadership
What do leaders actually lead? Surely inherent in the definition is that to be a "leader", someone must be following. But is that just getting folks to do stuff they don’t want to?
Not everyone’s born to leadership nor does everyone aspire to it. As a company owner however, your leadership is expected.
What sort of leader are you (or do you aspire to be)? How can you leverage your own personal qualities to become and be seen to become a leader? How do leaders set the tone and inspire change? What sort of leadership style will sit most comfortably on your shoulders and how can you use that to drive growth?
We're delighted to welcome Dr. Stuart Paul of UWS who will draw on his own significant experience of industry, business and academia to introduce this topic.
People
Closely tied to leadership is people. Mmm…a complicated bunch, aren’t we? This module will cover three people related themes. First up is essential employment law. There seems to be as many ways to get this wrong as there are to get it right. There's legal statute - and then there's case law. Getting this wrong can suck up management time and company cash that’d be more productively spent elsewhere. So spend a couple of hours now or a couple of weeks later preparing for a tribunal - we’ll show you how to avoid the bear traps.
Covering employment law '101', we're delighted to welcome Emma Grossmith, Senior Solicitor with Glasgow based Just Employment Law. Emma will walk us through the most common areas where companies can (and do!) get it horribly wrong and work through some case study based exercises, challenging you to separate the bumps in the road from the yawning chasms.
Later in the programme (session 6) we'll cover people planning. As you grow, you’ll need people with the right attitudes and skill sets to be on the payroll – but how to identify what ‘right’ means for your business and how to find them.
Thirdly, skills development. Anticipating what the company needs and ensuring it’s there when required.
