Reality checks – researching the market for your product or service

LEADERSHIP

As with schools, any organisation is as great as its leader. It’s true that at times, small to medium businesses have survived bad leadership. That's often because they provide sought-after goods and/or services in short supply. If one conducted a morale audit of their staff, it would be low to non-existent. Such businesses have high staff turnover. The time and effort (hence cost) to retrain new staff is lost profit.

Jeannette has found that even seemingly successful small to medium-sized enterprises can benefit from advice on core elements of leadership such as:

team building
motivating staff
easy-to-run quality measurement strategies
staff rewards programs.

Even some of our blue chip companies have survived mediocre leaderships. However, the data are definitely in that authoritative leadership is vastly superior than either permissive or authoritarian leadership styles. That superiority is measured in business outcomes and staff morale.

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND LEADERSHIP
