Leadership is an essential aspect of high performance.
Good leadership leads to higher performance, better morale, increased creativity and higher levels of resilience. Most organisations don’t differentiate between leadership and management, often resulting in over-management which tends to crush all of the positive outcomes associated with good leadership. In the introduction to ‘The Leadership Book’, Neil Jurd OBE puts it very succinctly saying simply that ‘good leadership makes the world a better place’.
Good leadership is usually the result of leadership training and study and at an organisational level – it rarely just emerges. In high performing organisations leadership thrives throughout the organisation, rather than trickling down through the org-chart.
Good leadership involves people ‘achieving far more than they could do alone by engaging others intellectually and emotionally in pursuit of a Clear and Compelling Purpose’.
Leadership training is one of the most effective ways of improving organisational performance. If you are looking to develop your leaders then Leader-Connect run excellent accredited leadership training courses: Leadership Development Courses.
