Course Description
Crisis Leadership: leading in tough times
Leadership through crisis using inspirational management techniques
Maybe you’re staring down the barrel of an economic downturn, just received news of an upcoming disruptive industry change, or a threatening competitor is about to open its doors. Whatever the challenge, this course will reframe your outlook to have a lasting positive impact as an inspirational leader.
This practical course will give you the insight required to manage and motivate your team through tough times with confidence - whether you run a sole trader or an international corporation. Featuring real-world examples, this course will ensure you weather tough times, and even transform challenges into opportunities for growth.
Unlike other change/crisis management courses this course is closely focused on the leader’s state of mind and how to handle the relationships and mindsets of team members. It is particularly geared toward finding a vision, connecting with others and having a lasting positive impact as a courageous and inspirational leader. Nigel looks at leadership from a Psychological perspective (of which he has a PhD) and covers leading in general; whether you're a CEO, a Team Leader, a Business Owner, even as the head of a family... anyone who needs to lead!
We’ll delve into the backbone of any good company - its people. We’ll discuss the different personality types you might find on your team and how each of these can be leveraged to handle any obstacle. We’ll look at how creating a cohesive vision for your business can pull everyone together and why you shouldn’t ignore your failures. This course will allow you to implement a culture of purpose, innovation and adaptability.

Great video! Very inspirational and down-to-earth advice. I loved the real world examples (i.e.. local bank, to a large firm and finally to the 2-year expedition)
