Leadership Authority Pack

When something isn't working, work out what is really going on and what to do next

People and management problems are not always easy to name. You can see that something is not working, a pattern keeps repeating or a difficult conversation needs to happen. Identifying the real problem and deciding what to do next can be much harder.

For the problems that do not wait for a training day

Open the Pack when a manager avoids a decision, an employee issue keeps returning, accountability starts to feel like micromanagement or the business is still too dependent on you.

Each Guide begins with the leadership problem, gives you the short answer, then works through questions, language and actions you can use in the situation at hand.
