Feedback

"The general advice and conversation with fellow members offered a great topic for conversation with many business tips being offered & appreciated"

"It is always good to mix with other business people, you never fail to pick up something from it. I certainly left with a slightly altered view on some things and the participants are keen to help".

"Two excellent speakers and some good conversation round the table made this a great night. A good range of topics were discussed on the evening and most guests had a chance to contribute".

"I thought the speakers were excellent and gave a great insight into key leadership techniques and strategies".

"Very good discussion with a lot of open comments. I gained value just from hearing other business leaders were experiencing the same issues as I do"

"Two very good talks from two leaders willing to share and learn. Good questions from Peter Grant in the chair stimulated good conversation"

"Key tip - have a more open & honest dialogue with personnel problems at the earliest stages. T-mail idea from Peter Vardy was excellent and a great & quick way to keep all employees up to date each week. Monitor behaviour not just performance. The best staff do not always make the best leaders in a business".

"I picked up particularly on the leadership behaviour points and the importance of behavior in relation to performance".

"Build a team round about you. Deal with any issues quickly and don't let situations build up as the problem just gets harder to deal with".

"Key tip for me was the importance of managing energy and communication, also igniting passion in your team and being an honest and credible leader".

"Always deal with people issues quickly"
