Real People, Real Stories, Real Value - with Andy Henderson

Andy Henderson is the founder of Forward Thinking Ltd, and Your Affordable Board, helping business leaders to guide their teams to success. Andy joins Lee to talk about the importance of serving people and making a difference, what it takes to be a successful leader of people, and how by engaging with our workers we can create positive business impact. KEY TAKEAWAYS Being a boss is about more than just telling people what to do. We cannot hope to win the respect of people if we treat them as mere machines. Leading people is about inspiring people, and ourself. It is not enough for the leaders in a business to know about the direction being planned. We must effectively communicate it to everyone in order to align the vision across the board. Employee engagement feeds customer satisfaction, Customer satisfaction feeds the business itself. It all begins by inspiring our people. BEST MOMENTS 'I fight to be the opposite person that I used to be' 'Inside I felt hollow. A Void.
