Watch Louisa's latest Sales Leadership interviews! The Qualities of a Great Leadership Team! We recently had the chance to interview Stephen Broadhurst, Managing Director of Star Linen. We were interested to understand what's resulted in them having a strong leadership team in their business.
Intriguingly, 75% of the leadership team are women - but is that a contributing factor?
No spoilers on that point! But it was fascinating to hear the importance of:
? The team feeling empowered to take decisions
? The team actually making decisions and thereby moving the business forward
? Allowing people to make mistakes
Stephen highlights that being able to take decisions is important and provided the majority of decisions being taken are good decisions then you're on a strong footing.
"I may be wrong, but I'm not confused" was worth reflecting on.
Hope this gives you some great food for thought and look forward to seeing your thoughts in the comments.
