Can leadership development really help your business growth?
BAE Systems CEO Nigel Whitehead says “…Leadership skills have to be at the heart of improvements in supply chain capabilities. These are the skills which support all other aspects of an organisation to work at their strongest. Well-managed firms grow faster, make more profits, and hold onto their best staff.”
Every business is different but there are common aspects that contribute to growth. Growing businesses have a vision that is clear and believed in by the employees.
Growing businesses are constantly adapting to the changing circumstances that accompany growth.
Growing businesses understand what customers want and they are able to deliver. They generate a great reputation because their product/service is perfectly fit for purpose.
Growing businesses can fail – e.g. inadequate finance can bring a business to its knees as full order books cause cash flow meltdown. Businesses that grow and survive have a plan and flex it as time progresses.
A successful growing business knows its markets, makes intelligent use of its resources and leverages its people through a culture that supports and encourages growth.
This is no accident. It happens because leaders create the right conditions for growth. With a clear vision, a plan and encouragement to change things for the better; employees will come to work looking for every opportunity to grow the business.
Leaders can be created through the right training. Our team has worked with 900 business leaders since 2010. Our research shows that these leaders grow their business by an average of 26%.
