Relationships are at the heart of great leadership
At the beginning of the year, the Regional Director had asked me to stay behind at a meeting where I had been voicing my opinion about why a major learning project hadn’t delivered. He proceeded to give me and a colleague the task of getting the project back on track in the next 12 months.
I was delighted, I had worked well with my colleague in the past and we worked well together. Our line manager was very supportive. The Regional Director had already cleared our involvement with him. We developed a programme, with clear deliverables.
During those 12 months, we worked hard, were a great team and loved every minute of it. We were making a real difference, and we knew it. At the end of the time, we almost skipped into the Regional Director’s office with the results which were impressive. Of course, he already knew, the impact had been monitored with growing admiration.
