- Hi Kent,
Earls Court is easy for me. I'm in the area on Weds 22nd a.m. if that works for you.
I'm interested because we are a cottage industry. I see some smes take time to develop skills but very few really focus on process. You need a balance of both. There are very simple processes which can allow managers/leaders to manage/lead in an efficient way which leaves time for more strategic/tactical thinking without compromising on day to day effectiveness.
Here's something I see a lot; when things are really busy and going well most staff don't get any managment input (usually because the managers are hands on with winning/producing work too) even if the staff need help/guidance. Suddenly things go quiet and management are all over them like a rash. This inconsistency creates problems and often demotivates staff.
There isn't a 'one size fits all' answer but there are a number of things that can be done and finding creative/practical sollutions facinates me. Typically the sollutions are full of common sense and easy to implement and embed.
What do you think? I've got a head full of related ideas.
Look forward to meeting with you soon.
Best regards,
Paddy Power,

- I'm alive and very, very well--sitting in a hotel room in Orlando after a very long day at ACC. I'll have to check your profile and see what it is that you are doing. Hope all is well.
