Why develop leadership skills?
• Successful firms do things differently – they have a number of traits in common– e.g. make better use of IT, good at marketing, etc. .... but also have
good leadership skills
• Leaders of successful businesses have a vision for the company and are dedicated to seeing it through
• Hence, CFW Leadership Programme • It will build on the well-known success factors for small firms

Leaders and Managers
• Leadership and management - they share some complementary skills - but are different–
• Leaders: in the nominations for a recent award scheme the most commonly used adjectives to describe good leaders were:
“Inspirational, Visionary, Committed,
Enthusiastic, Passionate, Determined,
Dedicated …… Charismatic”• But no agreed or consistent list emerged
![Page 4: Construction Futures Wales - Leadership & Management Taster Session](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032504/55c40b47bb61eb81448b4568/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Can you develop leadership skills?
• The Programme sees leadership as a pattern of behaviour that can be learned –
– through experience rather than lectures – within an Action Learning environment - i.e. where we
learn from everyone in the room– it creates new ways of thinking – together with real world case studies, the CFW Leadership
Programme encourages participants to challenge and reflect
![Page 5: Construction Futures Wales - Leadership & Management Taster Session](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032504/55c40b47bb61eb81448b4568/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The aim of the Programme
• The CFW Leadership Programme is a 10-month leadership and management development programme
• It aims to provide practical, people oriented management skills – with a focus on leadership and growth
• It is based on a number of innovative modes of delivery• But the starting point for developing leadership skills is
the individual
– The Journey begins with, and seeks to develop, self
awareness

• On your tables, please come up with:– A brief working definition of leadership– A brief working definition of management
One Further Question
• In getting over the 100 foot bar, which is the more important?

Leaders v Managers
• Leadership and management share some complementary skills,
• Management is about planning, co-ordinating, and putting performance systems in place
• Leaders create the capacity for people to do something different – to do more than they would normally do in response to change
• Effective leadership is about leading change
![Page 15: Construction Futures Wales - Leadership & Management Taster Session](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032504/55c40b47bb61eb81448b4568/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

From personal development to business growth
• Action learning discussions on the manager/ leader distinction, on team building and coaching have highlighted the softer skills needed for success
• But there are also some harder, management competencies that are required to achieve growth
• We conclude by highlighting some of the drivers and enablers of business growth:– Finance, innovation and procurement
![Page 23: Construction Futures Wales - Leadership & Management Taster Session](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032504/55c40b47bb61eb81448b4568/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Why is financial management important ?
• Accounting is the language of business and you need to be fluent
• You become a more effective member of your management team
• “A failure to plan is like planning to fail”• You need to know where you are, where you want to
go, how to get there and control your direction• Too many companies focus on the compliance side
of accounting

Completion of the Health Check
• To help you complete the diagnostic we suggest you work on it with a colleague or senior manager.

Action Plan for the company
