Are You a Manager or a Leader? We're often asked about the distinction between “manager” and “leader” and it is about far more than just semantics—it’s a fundamental difference in mindset and impact. Peter Drucker said "Management is about doing things right, leadership is about doing the right things” and that is a fundamental truism. Managers often focus on maintaining the status quo, ensuring tasks are completed and operations run smoothly. They are process-focused, skilled at maintaining schedules, meeting targets and organizing resources. All organizations need them to function, but their outlook tends to be short-term and they create rigid cultures that can be restrictive in terms of innovation and engagement. Leaders, however, go beyond management to be more people-centric. They inspire, challenge, and transform, looking at the "Why" as well as the "How". They create purpose-driven environments where people feel empowered to be creative and responsible, driving efficiencies and productivity while improving engagement. This is why leaders aren’t only found at the top of an organization; they can exist at every level, from frontline employees to senior executives, influencing others to move toward a shared vision. The transition from manager to leader is possible but it is about behaviours more than skills. It requires a shift in focus and mindset. Inspiring people, stepping out of comfort zones, embracing new opportunities and more than anything else focusing on purpose to drive innovation and resilience. For ambitious, forward-thinking organizations and individuals, simply managing isn't enough. Inspirational leadership is the key to better organizational performance and career success. So, ask yourself: Are you merely managing, or are you truly leading in a way that transforms and inspires? If you aspire to leadership, what must you develop to make that crucial difference between management and leadership? We can help: speak to us to learn how we can help you transition from managing to leading, and ensure your organization is ready for whatever comes next. #managerorleader #beinspirational #leadershipforabettertomorrow #inspirationaldevelopment #inspirationalcoaching #inspirationaleducation #bettermanagement

Engagement at work is falling - studies claim only 32% of people are engaged at work. Many blame hybrid working and say a return to the office is needed. That's not the truth though - rather, it is the inability of managers and leaders to effectively adapt their style to a way of working that is more convenient and preferable for many people. In this blog, we explain why. The key is having a people-centric leadership style that looks to inspire and develop instead of command and control. Citing organisations that have thrived under the hybrid working model, we share the three pillars of making hybrid work, work. Do you think hybrid working is to blame for low levels of engagement? Have you adapted your leadership style to the new way of working? How has going back to the office affected your engagement and that of your team? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments. #hybridworking #hybridleadership #workingfromhome #betterperformance #beinspirational #leadershipforabettertomorrow #inspirationalleadership https://lnkd.in/eNb_B7am

Purpose is the Foundation of a Thriving Culture Some of the most successful organizations of recent years are those where purpose is embedded at every level, from leadership down to individual team members. Companies like Patagonia, Salesforce, and IKEA have demonstrated the power of purpose-driven leadership. Patagonia’s commitment to environmental sustainability is a core value that drives every decision, from product design to supply chain management. Salesforce integrates philanthropy into its business by dedicating 1% of equity, time, and product to charitable causes. IKEA with its commitment to sustainability and affordable living. All these companies are thriving in a difficult market place and it is in no small way down to their deep commitment to their purpose of creating a better everyday life for many. When purpose is the foundation, teams are more motivated, aligned, and committed to the organization’s goals. That's not an opinion, it's based on the findings of independent studies such as: - 73% of employees who say they work at a "purpose-driven" company are engaged, compared to just 23% of those who don’t (Deloitte). - companies with a strong sense of purpose experience 40% higher levels of workforce retention compared to those without a clear purpose (LinkedIn). This shared sense of purpose not only drives performance but also builds a culture of belonging and engagement among employees that has a huge positive impact on retention and productivity. As a leader, you have the power to shape this culture and create a lasting legacy. But are you focused on creating meaningful, purpose-driven impact, or are you merely chasing the next quarterly target? The strength of your leadership lies in the purpose you cultivate within your organization. Talk to us to learn how we can help you build a purpose-driven culture that inspires and sustains success. #beinspirational #leadershipforabettertomorrow #purposefulleadership #leadwithpurpose #leadershipdevelopment #leadershipcoaching #leadershipeducation #inspirationalleadership
