Edgecumbe advocate a team game
Dr David Pendleton, of the the Edgecumbe Group, explains how they successfully extol the virtues of teamwork to move forward projects that have hit problems.
As David Pendleton freely admits, “most of the leaders I know are pretty flawed. They’re terrific at some things and very bad at some others. When you look at what leaders have to do, I think it comes down to five things. First, I think leaders have to inspire people. Second is focusing people. Thirdly, you have to enable people. People need to know the sequence of things they need to do to make a worthwhile contribution. Fourth is to reinforce people for doing the right things; good things are recognised, and the things that are inappropriate are dealt with directly. Fifth is to help people learn.
