The Leadership Transition

INTRODUCTION

Accountability and behaviour is vital when it comes to leadership development. In reality the leader is just one person, the real driving force behind a leader’s success is their team. It is up to the leader to demonstrate best practise, accountability, resilience, emotional intelligence and much more. The leader is a role model for their team, setting an example of the expectations and culture required of their company. In essence they are responsible for the future cohort and successfully handing over the baton.

 With heightened pressures and targets. Many leaders are now considering how to get the highest level of performance from their people. However, it is important that the leader looks inwards and recognise the importance of their own conduct in achieving these targets.
