There is some confusion between the two so here are some top tips on distinguishing between a manager and a leader:-
Managing is about:-
Team Building As Oppose to Team DevelopmentWe get many enquiries asking us for team building programmes and events. However after questioning and gaining an understanding of what they exactly require it becomes clear that often people are not after a team building programme at all. What they need is team development with the outcome of improved team working and productivity.
If you book a team building event whether it be a reward for the staff or a means of improving the performance of your staff then we’ll give you an iPad Mini free of charge! A great team building gift to you for booking with us. So if you had in mind booking something very soon then this may be the catalyst you need whether it be a fun event or a developmental team building course give us a call!
There are so many different interpretations of coaching – some think of it in relation to sports, others think it is another management fad and some think it is just another form of training. Different interpretations create confusion and this can and has led to a degree of misperception. Also, some organisations will have their own view of what coaching means to them and this can just add to the confusion.
It’s always pleasing when you receive good feedback from learners who’ve attended our courses but even more so when every learner is of the same opinion. In addition it’s rewarding when those learners have actually ‘bought into’ our unique approach to training, been receptive to our approach, seen the benefit and can apply that learning in the workplace. The following feedback was received from those who attended our recent IOSH Managing Safely Course

In 2007 Chade-Meng Tan – Google employee #107 — launched Google’s meditation programme. The programme currently teaches 2,000 Googlers per year to meditate in order to become better leaders. Today, leading companies like Blackrock, Aetna, Ford Motor and Goldman Sachs conduct mindfulness classes for thousands of their leaders.
What is causing this shift to mindful leadership? In the stress-filled 24/7 world in which we live, leaders of all organizations need the opportunity for a “time out” period. It is their opportunity to relax, breathe deeply, de-stress and gain clarity about their work and the decisions they are facing.
United Kingdom EU referendum 2017 – What if the United Kingdom exits the EU as a result of a majority vote in favour of departure? Surely a fundamental topic for debate regarding health and safety over the next few years will be the consequences if the United Kingdom votes in favour of departure from the European Union.

One gets the feeling that many terms in management are little more than advertising gimmicks – words or phrases that dress up common sense or known facts as a way of selling consultancy projects. (In their defence, one has to say that common sense is not that common!) At first sight, the term “emotional intelligence” is one of these – and indeed much of what is encompassed in the term is not new. Calling it “EI” rather adds to the suspicion.
However, it does seem to be a very useful concept. Many people work with a distinction between logic and emotion. Logic is good. Emotion is bad. Business is supposed to run on logic and emotions (especially in others) should be ignored, allowed to pass or patiently endured.
But why is it so important for leaders to understand…
Conference and Incentive Travel Magazine have this month published their state of the Events Industry Survey for 2015. This gives an excellent insight into the state of the industry. The message is the vast majority of events industry professionals expect growth in 2015.
The UK events industry may not be collectively popping Champagne corks just yet but the bubbly is on ice. Confidence is at its highest for years, and personal leanings aside, most agree the newly elected Tory Government is a positive result from a business perspective.’
Business was good for the majority of event agencies in 2014, and that growth curve looks set to continue its slow but steady upward trajectory in 2015 and into 2016
