Are you, or do you know, an Inspiring and Outstanding Leader?
INSPIRING AND OUTSTANDING LEADER
Laura McMillan, Coventry City of Culture (Winner 2018)
You are at a senior level within your organisation (either an employee or a business owner). You are a leader in business and display your leadership by mentoring, inspiring and encouraging others to achieve. You lead by example and can demonstrate your leadership skills through accelerated growth, improving team performance and financial results.
GUIDELINES: You may be a Director in your own business or at a senior level within a Company or organisation. Either way, you are at a senior level and manage a team(s) and you are in a leadership role. The Judges want to hear about your role, what you do on a day to day basis, your leadership style, examples of how you have achieved growth through leadership and how that has impacted on the financial performance of the business. If you have inspired others or mentor as part of your role, please tell us about it.
