Stage 2: Team Stage

In this straightforward and practical session, Mark Topley will help team members rethink what leadership really means. The focus will shift from the idea that leadership is about holding a title to understanding that it’s actually about influence—something anyone can have, no matter their role.

Key Points:

1. What Makes a Great Boss: We’ll explore the core qualities that make someone a great boss, focusing on behaviours that inspire and support the team. It’s not about power or position but about creating a positive environment where everyone can do their best work.

2. How the Team Shapes the Great Boss: Leadership is a two-way street. We’ll look at how team members can help shape their leader by offering feedback, showing initiative, and contributing to a positive culture. Every person in the practice has a role in creating a great boss.

3. How the Great Boss Shapes the Team: We’ll discuss how a great boss can bring out the best in their team. It’s about empowering people, encouraging growth, and building a strong, cohesive team where everyone feels valued and motivated.

By the end of this session, you’ll see that leadership is something we all share responsibility for. Whether you’re leading the practice or part of the team, you’ll walk away with practical ideas on how to create a 'great boss' culture that benefits everyone.
