Leaders with impact Lee Griffith

In this episode we're looking at the one single thing leaders and organisations can do to change their fortunes. And that is by focussing on how they get buy-in for their vision and ideas.
I share why so many organisations fail to make or sustain change, and I talk through the five skills senior leads for successful change during complex times.

If your organisation needs to make changes this year, let’s discuss how getting the right support package in place for your senior leaders can be the difference between success and failure. Book a free consultation call and chat with me directly about your transformation plans. I can then develop a bespoke proposal to meet your organisational needs.

Being aware of what you and your people do - whether it’s how you behave, communicate, make decisions, take actions - can be the difference in the type of outcome you achieve. In some sectors and organisations it could literally mean the difference between life and death. That’s why the study of human factors is becoming ever more relevant and important to organisations beyond those with a high-safety focus.
In today’s episode I’m talking to Susan Charlesworth, an expert in human performance and human factors. Susan’ spent over a decade training astronauts at the European Astronaut Centre and now supports individuals and organisations to tackle complex challenge and change in safety critical industries.

This episode is one about courage. The courage to show up as the leader you want to be. The courage to say the things that need to be said. Leaders in high performing teams, leaders with impact, have that courage - even if it is uncomfortable and messy and doesn’t always go to plan.

The NHS is one of those institutions that practically everyone (in the UK anyway) will have come into contact with in one way or another. We might read the headlines, listen to the political speeches or hear about our friends and families' experience.
