In this webinar she shares five leadership lessons: 

Lesson 1: Relax into being the leader of the organisation (Time in video: 01.57)

‘In the third sector there is a sense that everyone is equal and nobody is anybody’s boss and actually that’s not the case’

Lesson 2: Invest a lot of time building and maintaining relationships with your trustees (05.51)

‘Think of it as one of your management tasks’

Lesson 3: Spend regular time with the numbers – especially if you’re not good with numbers (12.10)

‘I would far rather read a page full of letters than a page full of numbers’

Lesson 4: Manage by timesheet and written minutes’ (16.00)

‘I appreciate it’s a lot of work and might sound insane but….’

Lesson 5: ‘Remember to reward and thank yourself’ (23.22)

‘It is about understanding that quite possibly nobody else will say thank you’
