Hi Abigail

 

 

In any list of 'skills of effective leaders and managers' having the tools and techniques for problem-solving and decision making comes pretty high.

 

Tools & Techniques for Problem-Solving & Decision-Making – Thursday 27 May

Does problem solving sometimes feel like fire-fighting? This course is for you.  Einstein said, 'We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking that created them.' So, we have to be a bit more creative in our thinking and look at problems in new ways. We can’t promise you’ll end up producing Einstein level results, but we guarantee creative and practical approaches to unravelling problems and finding solutions.

 

We have not adjusted the aims or content of this course but have taken in to account remote working contexts which some participants may bring to the conversation. Sign up for the course here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Must-read books for you and your team

 

 

‘I haven’t got any work done this morning as I’m gripped by Debra’s book! Chapter 3 especially (working with your CEO) has given me an immense lift. I have to do some proper work now but can’t wait to get home and read more. I’m enthralled!'

David Burrell, Chief Executive Officer, Primrose Hospice

 

 

What it's about: Individual knowledge and expertise are important in good governance, but if you don’t get the relationship with your fellow trustees right, your charity will suffer and very quickly you’ll have a battle on the board.

 

Debra Allcock Tyler’s approach to the challenging subject of trusteeship is characteristically engaging as she adopts a different ABBA tune as the theme for each chapter. Mixing leadership theory with practical advice and real-life examples, she dispenses her wisdom straight from the shoulder.

 

Who it's for: Newly baked and established trustees and CEOs striving for harmony on the board. Also valuable for senior managers.

 

Get your copy of It's a Battle on the Board here.
