Show #166: An Engaging Leader is a Flexible Leader

Special Guest: Mark Huggins, Owner and Managing Director of Mark Huggins Coaching and Corporate Drama

We explore the research by Towers Watson, Gallup (and others), which shows that creating an actively engaged workforce requires agile and flexible leadership strategies, objectives and behaviours. What is this elusive ‘Leadership Dance’ that you never see on Strictly Come Dancing?

Our conversation explores how effective, dynamic and engaging leaders are those who know how to assess their people’s ‘skill/will’ and how to then deploy the appropriate leader/coach/manager style of leadership. This is where so many leaders go wrong (unintentionally) and the results can be catastrophic for their teams and their business/organisation.

Mark Huggins is the owner and Managing Director of Corporate Drama, the dramatically different training company. The Corporate Drama team helps business people learn the behaviours and relationship skills to create the very best places to work.

Join us as we discuss how creating an actively engaged workforce requires agile and flexible leadership strategies, objectives and behaviours.
