In the digital-first age, social media is a platform that allows SMEs to reach thousands of the right people.

Mastering the Art of Leadership: Exploring your Vision and Purpose

In the realm of leadership, there’s a common tendency to focus primarily on the development of others. While nurturing talent is crucial, we must not overlook the importance of self-development.

Mastering the Art of Leadership: How to Lead with Courage

As leaders, we are seeking to change things, bring new ideas into life, create and improve products and services. It is natural to have concerns about what this might lead to, we usually prefer certainty and clarity whereas leading involves ambiguity and change.

Mastering the Art of Leadership: Conflict for Good

Conflict managed well, can actually help build relationships, develop trust and be a motivator for growth and change. We will all approach conflict resolution in different ways – each having our natural style. Some of us will find it easier to adapt our style than others.

Winning the Talent War with a growth-mindset approach

In Guernsey, the talent pool is limited. However, by adopting a growth mindset, organisations can think outside the box and explore less traditional recruitment methods.

Some of the most influential and successful business figures, such as Elon Musk, Oprah Winfrey, and Mark Zuckerberg, don’t possess qualifications in their fields. Their success stories show how embracing failures and having a growth mindset can help achieve goals beyond the need for formal qualifications.
