Lead by example M


astering leadership and senior management skills is as important to member businesses as


any other area of expertise. Te Chamber’s training


programme is constantly evolving, and to that end, we are launching a whole new series of master-class style workshops specifically for business leaders. Tese will provide easily scheduled opportunities to refresh and improve skills in key areas fundamental to business success through highly interactive, half-day workshops. Te programme is being


launched with two new master- classes delivered by Dr David Fraser, Managing Director of Change for Leaders and author of Relationship Mastery: A Business Professional’s Guide and a forthcoming book on leadership. David’s series of workshops for the Chamber on authentic presence and confidence in public speaking have been very well- received. Elaine Rodger, Head of Training and Development at Glasgow Chamber, said: “Te feedback from delegates atending David’s workshops has been hugely positive with delegates saying the experiences had more than exceeded their expectations and that they would definitely recommend his work to others. Te Chamber is delighted to be partnering with David in delivering these new master- classes, which will provide a valuable addition to our existing range of training and development opportunities.” Te first workshop in this new


series is “Mastering ... … Effective Board Meetings” because we know the whole subject of meeting this is a bugbear to many. Tis master- class is for the business owner- manager, company director or other senior leader looking for insights to make their board meetings as effective as possible. It

Dr David Fraser says the right insight can make a huge difference


will cover skills such as being beter able to sense how things lie “round the table”, striking the right balance between being demanding and being supportive, dealing more effectively with the “difficult” director and knowing how to select the right board members for the skills and qualities you need. David Fraser, a widely


experienced company director himself, said: “It’s remarkable how extra insight at the right time can make a great deal of difference. Tings you thought you couldn’t change with people, you find you can change, and geting your meetings working really well is oſten transformational for an organisation.”


Te second workshop in the


new series is “Mastering ... … Facilitating Groups”. Te senior leader needs to lead effective meeting processes with participants who don’t work for them. You need to be able to achieve a result without any authority over the people involved. Tis master-class-style event is


for the senior leader who needs to achieve results through collaboration and building coalitions of people working together. It will provide an awareness of a wide range of meeting processes that can be used. It will also give you more self-awareness as you host a meeting and more ability to adjust
