As leaders, our actions, behaviours and attitude have an impact on others. How aware of this are we? What do we need to think about and manage to ensure we have the impact we intend rather than another impact. If we're encouraging Work/Life Balance, but not demonstrating it, what message do the team get?
The SheffTechLeadership group is a discussion group. We will have a kick off from this sessions facilitators to explain the subject then break into groups to discuss, coming back together to share what we discussed with the full group.
Junior Talent is the future. How do we make sure that we make the most of the people at the start of their career? How do we identify and nurture that talent and channel them in the right direction for themselves and our organisations? How can we make sure South Yorkshire has a really great talent conveyor belt supplying us all with great juniors who will one day be great leaders?

This month our subject is having Difficult Conversations.
Sometimes there's a problem that needs addressing and that means having a Difficult Conversation. How do we open these conversations and make sure that we deliver the right message and get the right outcome?
Hybrid working is here to stay, we've learned a lot over the last couple of years. What are the challenges now? What lessons have we learned that we can share with others? What works? What doesn't work?

This session's subject is "Leaders - Born or Made", facilitated by Neil Bizell:
In the past we were given a certain model of what a leader should look like and sound like (overwhelmingly white, male and middle aged). Thankfully and rightfully that model of leader is shifting as organisations wake up to the value of diversity. This gives us a great opportunity to diversify, democratise and improve leadership. If we have the opportunity to rethink what it means to be a leader what could it become?
Do you need to have the right psychological profile and background to be a leader? Or can we develop anyone into a leader?
How do we identify the right people to develop as leaders in our organisations? Should those who naturally assume power be excluded?
Is leadership the key factor or should the sometimes maligned management be seen as equally important?
The session will be hybrid with a Google Meet link up for remote attendees.

The session will be hybrid with a Google Meet link up for remote attendees. Again, more information to come.
As a first step, a bit of a brainstorm session to understand what challenges people are facing in the leadership area, what we want to cover on the meetup and how to run it. Virtual? In person? Hybrid?
Here's the group description:
Leadership is not just for the CEO! We aim to build an inclusive, welcoming and collaborative community where people from all backgrounds can come together to focus on leadership skills. We gently encourage all participants to contribute to discussions, to facilitate sometimes, and to listen thoughtfully to others, so all voices are heard.
You don't have to be in an official "leadership" position to come along, and while we generally focus on issues that we come across in the tech industry, folks from other industries are very welcome to come along and join in too - alternative perspectives are often the most interesting.
