Growing Stronger: Leading out of a Crisis

QC-3127

Your business has survived the crisis that's caused global havoc. Now it’s time for you and your management team to lead your company out of the crisis, growing stronger, becoming an even better business than before. Leading out of a crisis is one of the most important tasks for leaders and managers. There will be many opportunities, but which ones are best to seize and focus on? Focusing on 7 areas will transform the performance of you, your people and your business.

Who is this course for?

This course has been designed for leaders and managers running businesses with 5 to 1000 staff. While it is a self-directed course, we’d encourage senior management teams to go through the interactive activities in each module together. Mentoring support is available to embed learning.

The course begins with a radical review of your business, including where you make money, and encourages you to think deeply about where to compete. Once you know where the profitable areas are, Module 2 focuses on you stripping out unnecessary costs to supercharge your profits. Module 3 explores the often controversial subject of reward and remuneration, before Module 4 gets you to consider recognition and the power of ‘Thank You’. Your shadow of influence as a leader is discussed in Module 5 ahead of considering what it takes to be a ‘Healthy Leader’. Finally, we conclude on a subject with ever increasing importance – purpose.

The 7 modules draw on over a hundred years’ experience of leaders involved in successful business transformation. QuoLux™ is very grateful for the considerable inputs from Professor John Oliver OBE, former CEO of Leyland Truck who helped to construct this course with Dr Stewart Barnes, CEO, QuoLux™, and we are very thankful for the inputs from Phil Dyer on Healthy Leaders and Professor Steve Kempster on Purpose and the Good Dividends.

The approach outlined in this course made huge differences in the organisations that John and Stewart have run. With your leadership, we hope that you gain much from the course.
