We live in a culture that is structured around accumulating knowledge but ignoring mechanisms to really find out who we are.

Our belief is that it is more important in the long run to know who you are – than to know what to do.
The LEMON Leadership course is not a “How To” of leadership, but a “Who are you?” course that looks at leadership in a fresh way.

Good leaders lead out of their identity. It doesn’t matter too much what their style, university or ethnicity may be. The key is to know what type of leader you are. This course is based on Brett Johnson’s new book, LEMON Leadership, where he writes about five types of leaders:

Do you....

• Wonder why others see life so differently from you?
• Appreciate why it is necessary for others to be so different?
• Think that you are the only one really working?
• Believe that others do not grasp reality like you do?

Have you experienced.....

• Breakdowns in communication?
• Instructions that are not properly understood?
• Batons that are dropped?
• Handovers that are not completed?

In your organisation.....

• Do you have the right leadership mix for this stage of your corporate life-cycle?
• What about the next stage?
• Are the right staff joining?
• Are the wrong staff leaving?
• Do you know who you need and how to identify them?

If these are questions you are grappling with, then we believe our new LEMON Leadership programme can assist you and your teams to be more effective and create the right impact in your organisations and with the people that you work with. Remember! You lead out of your identity.... who you area! Not your style, preference or temperament, BUT your DNA wiring..... your type.
