No great manager or leader ever fell from heaven; it’s learned, not inherited. – Tom Northup
About Longshaw Consulting Group
At Longshaw Consulting Group, we strive to help managers become the best manager they can be.
Whilst there is a place for learning through trial and error, we equip managers with the right tools, know-how and mindsets – the foundations to becoming highly capable and inspiring managers, which we believe is one of the most important investments any organisation can make.
Who was the best manager you ever had? What was it about this person that made them the best in your eyes? What did they do and how did they make you feel? How did they impact you and your career?
People can normally recall quite vividly and with some gratitude, their ‘Best Manager’; they were probably not perfect but they often remember how they stretched them or what they learned from them and the difference this person made to them.
It is no secret that great managers can create aligned, engaged, inspired and motivated teams that deliver exceptional results…and weak managers can engender poor results, a disjointed team, disengagement and high staff turnover.
Managing People Well
There is more complexity, change, pace and uncertainty in all areas of work than ever before; even more reason, we believe, to equip Managers to learn about themselves, understand their people better and give them innovative, thought-provoking and practical tools.
People tell us that being a manager can be one of the most rewarding yet challenging roles and professions. We totally get this, having been managers ourselves in our previous careers. We are delighted to dedicate our work to supporting and challenging managers both individually and as a community to raise the bar on what’s possible.
We believe an organisation’s people are its greatest asset, so in our view building management capability is essential to every organisation’s success.
