He also talks about how good leaders must be able to effectively delegate – giving people accountability can help further their development and help build a strong sense of teamwork that stimulates growth within the organisation.

Jon also talks about the importance of recruiting the right people to help strengthen the overall team dynamic as well as organisational growth.

Join us as we navigate through discussions on what good leadership looks like during a pandemic, the important role of recruitment in building a well-rounded team, the challenges of pandemic fatigue and remote working, and the importance of establishing a sense of trust and humanity amongst team members during these trying times.
