What every business in the world, especially in the uk, needs is good leadership. Historically we can look back to the days of Sir John Harvey-Jones who was the figure head at the old imperial chemical industries group. It was impossible for anyone of adult status to not know about him. He featured prominently on every tv programme that discussed business This would be true whether the subject was how to start up a business; how to keep it running; how to branch out and expand. Sir Joh was considered the absolute favourite business leader and his exceptional skills were matched by a very bright and engaging personality that made him a really excellent face and voice to front a programme. Honestly he was so popular, they could have stuck him in front a bunch of refrigerators and he would have sold them to every eskimo on the planet! His knack was to start slowly then raise his game and get the audience so excited at the prospect of that newbie company taking off and succeeding, that customers and backers came flocking. We have similar heroes in that role – we now have our national broadcasting corporation offering a fantastic mentoring and training scheme obtained via subscription. More will be coming with this over the months.
