QxA =Â Effectiveness Tool

Nice and kind are not the same thing. Not even close. This tool is designed to help you get honest about which one you're bringing into your leadership, and what it might be costing the people in front of you.
Leadership Is The Small Moments - Free Guide
This FREE guide is 70 pages, filled with real workplace moments that test any leader.  The guide includes a breakdown of 30 scenarios
The first section (10 work situations that tighten a room) most people recognise immediately, and the final section is harder to talk about because they involve politics, history, power, and the parts of managing people that nobody writes down.
This guide will teach you things that may differ from mainstream leadership
development and may sound, well, somewhat therapeutic. Some of it is and that’s intentionally as I teach you how to engage and support your direct reports by addressing the performance challenges, whilst holding the relationship at the same time.Â
