Great leadership is all about empowerment

Leadership Awards

Great leadership is all about empowering the people around you.

And that is why the Empowering Potential Leader is one of the most important categories in our Northern Leadership awards.

Our panel of judges deliberated longer on this category than any other because the competition was so tough.

The Northern Leadership Awards are being organised by TheBusinessDesk.com in partnership with law firm CMS.

And the judges were unanimous in agreeing that one of the defining characteristics in any great leader is the ability to get the very best from the people that they lead.

The shortlist in the category is:

Taryn Edge – Linbrooke

Andrew Green – Hotel Indigo Manchester

Susie Holmes – PwC

Professor Barry Leahey – Playdale Playgrounds

Janine Smith – The Growth Company

The aim of the awards is to celebrate the people and organisations across the North who are role models for their teams and raise the bar for their competitors.

It follows the success of the Yorkshire Leadership Awards last year.

The shortlist showcases the best qualities of modern leadership – of inspiration, collaboration and empowerment.

The winners will be revealed at an awards dinner which will be a celebration of the transformational impact great leaders are having in our region here and now.

Mark Haywood from CMS said: “Leadership sets a vision, creates agendas and sees opportunities others might not see.

“Leadership in companies and organisations makes the difference between excellence and mediocrity or failure. Our companies in the North have that in abundance.”

Tickets are now on sale for the awards evening which is being held at the Queens Hotel in Leeds on Thursday, November 28th.
