Our short summary of our recent episode with Tracy.
Original podcast description: Tracy Pound is the Managing Director of Maximity, a business she founded in 2000 to provide effective, innovative and friendly IT services to other businesses. However, it could have turned out so differently - after Tracy's first experience of working with an ineffectual leader, she questioned whether working in business was even the right route for her. Thankfully her second role was led by a really inspiring leader who encouraged Tracy to flourish and achieve high performance as a manager at a young age. Through experiencing both types of leadership, it shaped Tracy's approach to leadership in how she leads her team and businesses today.
Tracy hosts a free webinar offering technical support, last Resort Support and this can be found at Maximity's Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/pg/MaximityLtd/events/?ref=page_internal

Our short summary of our recent episode with Cherie.
Original podcast description: Cherie Concannon is the Founder of RPO Manufacturing, which operates in multiple countries helping to build motivated, self-directed teams in the manufacturing sector.
 
Cherie offers amazing insights into the world of management and leadership, with ‘self-direction’ being one of her key concepts. We discuss that finding the hidden talent and natural leaders within a team is a key part of being an effective leader. During one of Cherie’s projects with a manufacturing company, she discusses how she declined the offer of a bodyguard (!) and by really getting to know the team, discovered what they really wanted from their work. This process of getting to know individuals helps to remove any hidden assumptions and the ‘them and us’ culture that can permeate organisations in this traditional industry.
 
Developing emotional intelligence and supreme self-awareness are another two of the core themes of Cherie’s ‘self-directed’ teams approach and by removing the layers of management that can exist between shop floor operatives and upper levels of management, communication is greatly improved and this helps empowers teams to make their own decisions.

Our short summary of our recent episode with Peter.
Original podcast description: Peter Hathaway is the sales director of DX Solutions, a leader in the parcel and document deliveries sector. Peter discusses his opinions on the fundamental differences between managers and leaders and the skills that a leader tends to exhibit, such as: willingness to learn from others, setting a great example and taking time to reflect on how others perceive you. These are some of the reasons why a team ‘wants’ to follow a leader, rather than ‘having’ to follow a manager. Peter kindly offers a story of how he lead his team through a very challenging time and commented ‘in challenging times you become a leader’ it was by facing the challenge of informing each customer and negotiate new contractual terms that he learnt huge amounts about his ability to lead a team during a tough time and a sometimes awkward situation.
