If you’re not the boss you can skip this email. Save yourself 3 minutes and have a cuppa.
If you are a boss – don’t touch that dial.
I remember one of the first things that excited me when I started my own business was the idea of employing lots of people.
At one time I even thought about it as a measure of success.
What actually happened was altogether different.
At one point I had over 50 staff in my ‘group’ and I believed we could take on the world.
I created a fun place to work.
We had parties.
I was there to listen.
We created a mega bonus scheme.
I
wanted my team to love me.
So why did they leave?
That fact is, I wasn’t very good at managing people. Employing them was the easy bit. Managing people and doing it well is a different story.
It was only when my
brilliant wife, Christine, took over running our business and managing the team that I learned the valuable lesson.
Employees don’t really want to be your friends.
What employees need more than anything is…
CERTAINTY
I learned the hard way.
You don’t have to.
In fact you can spend 90 minutes at a free event and pick up some cracking ideas that will help you to be a brilliant
boss.
Yes, that’s a free event sponsored by Collingwood Legal.
How To Be A Brilliant Employer
How To Be A Brilliant Employer will take place at the Copthorne Hotel in Newcastle on Thursday 26th March at 8.30am.
I know that’s an unreasonable hour but you’ll be plied with coffee, pastries and
knowledge.
Collingwood Legal are employment lawyers. And before you hit the delete button, they are cool employment lawyers with heaps of integrity.
They're professional and fun.
Leading edge and
practical.
They’re going to talk about some significant updates in Employment Law; the type of thing that could save you thousands. It will take 20 minutes.
And…
I’m going to present a very special session called How
to Be A Brilliant Employer taking the best bits from my Be Brilliant keynote and giving them an employment twist. I’m going to speak for around an hour.
And because Collingwood Legal are picking up the tab, it’s
FREE.
The tickets are limited, so if you’d like to grab a seat, (or two), then as a friend of ours you can book places and find out more here.
