LEADERSHIP IS A PROCESS NOT A THING. LEADERSHIP IS ABOUT PRESENCE NOT TITLE. LEADERSHIP EXISTS THROUGHOUT AN ORGANISATION.

WITH THESE PRINCIPLES IN MIND, PLEASE THINK ABOUT THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS

A) INDIVIDUAL

What 3 words describe me as a leader? Which one do I most need to change if I am to become a better leader? How will I do it?
How do I define success as a leader? Am I on track? What do I still need to do to achieve success?
What are my core values? To what extent am I leading in alignment with them? Am I walking the talk?
If I had to change one aspect of my leadership, to achieve improved team / organisational performance, it would be........
Am I a leader of value, or values, or both? Am I prepared to sacrifice performance for what I hold to be right?
What was the last (conscious) action I adopted, to improve my leadership effectiveness? Was I / it successful? What could I have done differently?
Am I confident that I will deliver my very best performance on a consistent basis when I am under pressure?

B) ORGANISATIONAL

Does my organisation have a leadership strategy (ie an integrated platform to attract, develop and retain top leadership talent for competitive success)?
Are values embedded in the way my organisation thinks and acts?
What are the top 3 values of my organisation?
Do I believe that the values of my organisation are likely to hold up under pressure?
Do I have personal experience of seeing the values of my organisation drive high performance?
Do the values of our organisation drive the strategy of our organisation or is strategy developed regardless of values?
Has the strategy of our organisation been benchmarked for alignment and consistency with the values of our organisation?
Do the values of our organisation create a platform for consistent high performance, even under pressure?
Am I confident that my organisation will deliver its very best performance on a consistent basis when it is under pressure?
Does my organisation strive for excellence or is it comfortable with ‘satisfactory underperformance’?

If you feel that your personal leadership brand or the approach to leadership which your organisation is adopting could be improved, then Positive Leadership Limited would be delighted to help you.

We provide leadership consulting, coaching and mentoring advice designed to help our corporate and individual clients excel under pressure and reach the highest levels of performance and profitability.

“Graham & Gavin know their stuff, as keynote speakers at our Annual Business Panel Conference they capture the audience with an enlightening presentation on positive leadership, well worth listening to!' - Laurence Barratt, Chief Executive, Falkirk for Business ; 'We had over 150 delegates on the day and feedback so far has been very positive, with many people commenting how much they enjoyed your presentation....Thanks again for your excellent contribution.' - Michelle McKearnon, Business Engagement Manager, Falkirk for Business

Graham and Positive Leadership were involved in the development of our annual Learning for Business Conference from the outset, helping to ensure that it met its professional training and development objectives. The conference was based around case studies and role plays, which asked the speakers to be insightful and flexible in terms of how they presented and interacted with the delegates, and Graham was both. The WS Society's Learning for Business Conference is aimed at young professionals looking to develop their business awareness and personal skills, and he was excellent at understanding the issues facing them in the current climate. During his session he provided guidance on how to develop these new skills and got the delegates to think about how they could take control of their professional development and begin making a difference to their organisations. Many of the more experienced practitioners and HR Managers who attended the event, commented that they would be taking on board some of his suggestions with regard to their own development. Hopefully, he will become a regular speaker on our Learning for Business Programme and at other WS events!' Ann Davidson, Assistant Director, The WS Society

'Lanarkshire Chamber of Commerce was delighted to engage Positive Leadership Limited to speak at our recent networking event in Motherwell. The presentations made by Graham Watson and Gavin Hastings were first class and were extremely thought provoking and relevant to the needs of many businesses in Chamber membership. We would have no hesitation in recommending Positive Leadership to other Chambers and business support organisations.' Douglas Millar, Chief Executive, Lanarkshire Chamber of Commerce
