Stop Wasting Money on Leadership Programmes That Don’t Work – Here’s how to develop better Leaders….. Last week saw the latest Engaging Leaders programme kick off in Birmingham. This programme makes the investment worth it by developing leaders who are self-aware & engage with their teams. The first workshop is 3 days that focuses on developing self-awareness & wider emotional intelligence so the leaders can choose the positive impact they want to have. What makes this programme worth the investment is that it blends face-to-face workshop with virtual check-ins & 121 coaching. The big difference is that it is anchored in the real-world. Not theory heavy or guided by telling leaders what to do. The programme crates the space where leaders practice the conversations they will have with their teams whilst all the while developing their self-awareness which is what differentiates leaders from those who fit the mould. How will you make sure you make the right investment in your leaders in 2025? #italwaysstartswithyou #leadershipdevelopment #careers 😀 Hey, I’m Tim, a leadership coach who makes your investment in your leaders worthwhile. Book a call today to start planning how 2025 will be the year that your leaders develop into their authentic selves 👋🏻

How Much Do You Invest in Your Skillset as a Leader? 🌟 Leadership is all about continuous growth, learning, and adapting. As leaders, we are tasked with dealing with complex challenges, inspiring teams, and making high-stakes decisions. But how much time and effort do we invest in developing the skills that make us effective leaders? 🔑 Investing in Your Leadership Skills Is Key Whether it's through leadership courses, mentorship, reading, or seeking feedback, there are countless ways to sharpen your leadership abilities. Practice what you learn, apply it in real-world situations, and continuously reshape your approach to leadership. 💡 Ask Yourself: 1. What skills do I need to be a better leader today and tomorrow? 2. How can I foster more collaboration and trust within my team? 3. Am I embracing innovation and new ideas that drive growth? The best leaders are those who understand that their development never stops. Leadership is a journey — not a destination. #Leadership #PersonalGrowth #InvestInYourself

Understanding John C. Maxwell's 5 Levels of Leadership: Developing People. I've been diving into John C. Maxwell's insights on leadership, particularly his 5 Levels of Leadership. One section that resonated with me deeply is the best behaviors on Level 4: 'How to Develop People'. It's an inspiring blueprint for how successful agency leaders and new sales managers can adapt to groom and develop their team members. Here are the 5 steps Maxwell suggests for developing people: 1) I do it: Showcasing personal competence and capability. This is the initial step where leaders demonstrate what they are capable of. 2) I do it, and you are with me: Engaging in demonstration and joint work, allowing others to observe and learn. 3) You do it, and I am with you: Providing coaching and discipleship, guiding others as they take the reins. 4) You do it: Empowering others to take charge and perform independently. 5) You do it, and someone is with you: Ensuring the success in competency transfer, where those you have developed begin to mentor others. These steps illustrate the essence of great leadership—developing others to become leaders themselves. This approach not only builds a strong team but also fosters a culture of growth and continuous improvement. What are your thoughts on these steps? How do you approach leadership development in your teams? #Leadership #TeamDevelopment #JohnCMaxwell #LeadershipDevelopment #GrowthMindset #ManulifeSingapore #Manulife

What if the perfectionist embraced iteration? Leadership isn't about striving for perfection. It's about embracing iteration and collaboration, knowing that not everything will be 'perfect'. Understanding the pitfalls of perfectionism in leadership reveals how it can hinder progress and stifle innovation. By setting realistic expectations and celebrating even the smaller achievements, leaders and their teams can thrive when faced with challenges and uncertainty. Do you have high-potential mid-level managers just waiting to be upskilled? Our coaching program offers personalised support and guidance for leaders seeking to embrace leadership in all its variations. We can give you the leadership edge you need to truly make an impact, and stop asking 'what if'.

How have most leaders come to understand what good leadership is? Many leaders find themselves in their roles due to technical capability. Yet, what often gets overlooked is their leadership capability. The mantle of leadership demands more than just expertise; it requires the ability to inspire, motivate, and support your team. He rei ngā niho, he parāoa te kauwae. "A whale's tooth requires a whale's jaw." This Māori whakataukī captures the essence of true leadership—one must embody the qualities of a leader to truly lead. Just as a whale's tooth is supported by the strength of the jaw, effective leadership is supported by qualities such as empathy, resilience, and the ability to foster growth in others. At Reti Consulting, we draw on positive leadership principles to help organisations equip their leaders with the necessary soft skills. Through leadership development interventions, executive and leadership coaching, and ongoing consulting support, we provide leaders with the tools they need to get the best out of their people and foster an environment where individuals can flourish. By doing so, we create high performers who are aligned with organisational goals and drive success. True leadership is about more than just technical prowess. It’s about nurturing potential, building resilience, and creating a culture of excellence. #Leadership #PositiveLeadership #SoftSkills #OrganisationalSuccess #RetiConsulting #MāoriWisdom

Coming across this Dilbert cartoon, it reminded me that in recent times I have observed a number of enterprises re-branding their managers as leaders (often without personal development or increasing any self-awareness!) There is a big difference between managers and leaders. Managers are in control of operations and are generally heavily concerned with performance and daily activities, their perspectives are downward onto the team/activity and backwards on throughput and results! Whereas a leader's perspective is forward - By their actions, a leader influences and inspires others to engage with the purpose and follow their lead. It is worth remembering that a leader can emerge at any level of your enterprise, and sometimes it may not be an official appointment. Your organisation needs to be aware of the social leaders within the organisation and ensure that they are aligned to the business purpose. If your organisation is transitioning from management to leadership and wants to work on a coaching and mentoring plan for developing and sustaining a leaders please reach out me. #BeingHuman #Warrior4Humanity #Leadership #OrganisationalChange #Transformation #Teaming #Coach #Mentor #FutureWorkplace

🌟 Unleash Your Leadership Potential 🌟 Our latest research reveals a gap in leadership satisfaction: only 28% of respondents are very satisfied with their immediate leaders. This highlights a crucial opportunity for improvement in how we lead. What sets great leaders apart? Great leadership goes beyond mere management. It’s about influence, empathy, and driving positive change. Leaders like #AlanMulally of Ford and #HubertJoly of Best Buy have shown us that effective leadership involves: ➡Serving with #Integrity: Mulally embraced continuous learning and personal growth. ➡Leading with #Empathy: Joly listened and engaged directly with his team.   Strong leadership not only drives team success and innovation but also fosters a positive work environment.

The difference between “good” and “great” lies in the depth of connection and understanding the coach has to the game, as well as the coach’s ability to not only achieve results but to inspire, innovate, and leave a lasting impression. Good leaders effectively manage teams and meet targets, but great leaders do more; they inspire, challenge norms, and set a course for lasting impact. Like great athletic coaches, they nurture growth in a way that changes the pitch forever. If coaching a sports team is a skill that can be taught, can we teach other types of leaders to be great? What are the behaviors and thought patterns that distinguish “good” leaders from “great” leaders at work?
