Captain of industry or apprentice leader? Whether you’re a CEO, the founder of an SME or a self-directing sole trader, becoming an effective business leader takes guts, skill and an awful lot of trial and error.

But exactly what are the ingredients for outstanding leadership? How do you learn to lead, and lead well? What pitfalls do you need to dodge as you take your own journey in leadership?

December’s Productivity Club aims to end the year on a forward-thinking theme as we explore modern day leadership and management. We’ll also hear from one employee-owned company about how they have worked together to agree on and share leadership responsibilities.

The session is interactive with group discussion, Q&As, and networking opportunity.

Speakers: Keith Bevan, CEO, Network ROI: Michelle Reid, People Director, Institute of Occupational Medicine; Josiah Lockhart, Group CEO, Firstport; Glen Dott, Employee Ownership Specialist, Scottish Enterprise; Roddy Millar, Co-founder, Scottish Leadership Institute.
