The recent Leadership Conference in Guernsey proved to be a lively and entertaining event, with plenty of conversations being sparked by our thought-provoking talks.
Over a week has passed since the event, the dust has settled but my mind is still buzzing. Five very diverse leaders spoke and everyone brought something different to the stage.
Matt Bird reminded us that leadership isn’t just about giving direction - leaders need good relationships to be effective. Guy and Julia Hands shared their personal insights on leadership and making tough decisions, while Dr Lesley Dickie from Jersey Zoo encouraged us all to be more disruptive. Last to take the stage was Major General Patrick Marriott who amused the audience greatly but also left everyone with a simple mantra to rely on when we, as leaders, are under pressure.
We hope that in years to come many of those business leaders who attended the recent Leadership Conference will look back and recall some of the lessons shared by our speakers. Here are just a few of the lessons and ideas I took away from the evening:
