Randy Slecta spoke this morning at the RDS to IAPI Members. Randy is the President of Leadership Management® International, and is a pioneer in the fields of leadership, management, and professional development. Roisin Joyce is a trainer for Leadership Management International in Ireland. The talk was set up by Tim Griffiths at OMD in conjunction with IAPI, and it was an excellent talk. It was a shame more people didn’t hop out of bed early to be there for the 8.30am kick off. Chemistry, QMP Publicis, Cybercom, Cawley Nea TBWA, Agency.com and Visualise were amongst the companies who showed up. I am sure like me, they are glad they did.
Managing a business in turbulent times is tough and I believe we need all the help and inspiration we can get from experts. Having an inspiring business plan based on a well thought through and articulated strategy, with an engaged team are just some of the building blocks. The best question of the morning was from Clare Herbert at Agency.com – can everyone be a leader? The resounding answer from Randy was yes, we all have leadership potential. We all lead. We lead ourselves, our families, clubs we are members of, teams at work. We all have a part to play in a world where the defining feature of successful businesses is engaged and motivated teams of people, at every level.
