In the recruitment crisis most sectors are facing today, it's more important than ever to remember the old adage:

People don’t quit a bad job. They quit a bad manager.

So how do you become the best boss you can be so that your team stick with you through thick and thin?

Personal and business success goes hand-in-hand with confidence. Confidence is the foundation of leadership - it’s the fuel that drives us forward. Leaders are role models - so their confidence is contagious, and unfortunately, so is lack of confidence. Here are my tips to build your confidence as a leader.

Every sector I speak to at the moment from hospitality to tech, is finding it harder to recruit than ever before. So as a manager, how do you build a happy, committed and successful team who will stick with you through thick and thin? The short answer is, it’s not just about paying them more!

Think back to the most inspiring managers you’ve had in your life. How did it make you feel and how did it impact your commitment on the job or the subject?

I imagine the leaders you remember inspired and motivated you, you will have felt they listened to and valued and as a result, you felt more committed and focussed.

Now reflect on what kind of leader you are.
