Introduction1:57
Hello, and welcome to the course!
In this brief introduction, we will get a birds-eye view of what this course is, and how it is structured.
Welcome again...it's great to have you here!
An Important Question2:12
Here's an important question...Do you know the difference between a leader and manager?
In this lecture, we will learn just what that difference is...
It's not About You, It's About Them1:48
It's not about you, it's about them...your team that is.
In this lecture, I'll show you:

The three ways you can access to great people,
The two most important messages I took from a management seminar, many, many years ago...
I Have To Praise You Like I Should2:35

In this lecture, I will tell you the one thing that you should never forget...

Can you guess what it is?
Getting To Know You, Getting To Know All About You2:40
In this lecture, I will sneakily introduce some NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) concepts, and a really innovative way to tell which way people think!
What We’ve Got Here, Is Failure To Communicate11:09
The number one issue in any organisation is, usually, communication...
But is there a failure to communicate?
In this lecture, we'll begin to look at a better communication model. You may be surprised...
Are We Speaking The Same Language?5:37
In this lecture we will cover perhaps one of the most important, but often overlooked, things in communication...are we actually speaking the same language?
The Lost Art Of Listening5:22
In this lecture we will cover the lost art of listening.
We'll have a look at a couple of ways to spot when this is happening, and what to do about it, and we'll also get into a simple, but effective method for you to become a world class listener...
Knowledge Is Power: Or Organisational Communication2:46
This is a really big subject, but it can be simplified somewhat...and that's what we're going to do here!

We're Gonna Make You A Sta-a-a-r1:17
Welcome to section 2!
In this first short lecture, I'll share with you the number one thing you have to do to be regarded as a leader...
The Three T's - Time, Tools and Talent1:35
In this short lecture, I'll introduce you to my model for consistently creating super-star teams.
It's simple to remember, and simple to apply.
Welcome To My World2:42
In this lecture, we'll take a birds eye view of the Time, Tools and Talent model.
The First T: Time10:58
Okay, let's get in to the first T: Time.
We'll cover the #1 essential quality in a manager.
I will show you how I introduce the Three T's concept to your team. How to set up the meeting, and what you should cover in it.
Then, we'll cover what you need to do to get honest responses from your team members!
Being Helpful: Or, Whose Job Is It Anyway?4:20
I this lecture, I will show one of the first things I am looking for when I do my "sit downs" with the individual team members.
Time Exercise 1 - Being Helpful0:45
Exercise 1: Being Helpful
Take some time to sit with the individual members of your team, and check to see if they are doing anything that either outright doesn’t sit within their job role, or things that may not. If in doubt, ask!
If you find any such activity, find out where that task naturally sits, check job descriptions if you have to, and meet with the relevant manager, and arrange for the task to be handed back.
If You Want It Doing Properly…8:25
In this lecture I will show you another thing I am always on the look out for...
We'll get into lean manufacturing principles, and how you can simply apply them to get your team a little extra time...
Time Exercise 2 - The Seven Deadly Wastes0:52
Modelling Excellence And Soup Questions10:11
Now we'll take a look at a simple method you can use to increase the productivity of your team, and the answers may already be there...
Time Exercise 3 - Modelling Excellence0:48
The Second T: Tools0:44
A very quick introduction to our second T: Tools.
£179.99. Or, The Cost Of Solving A Ten Year Old Problem7:58

Also, a very effective Japanese business philosophy :)
Tools Exercise 1 - Downstream and Upstream Problems0:58
Mission Mundane. Or, I Can’t Not Look9:20
Now we'll take a look at how solving an upstream problem, using a very simple automated solution, saved time, saved stress, and ensured we were working on the things we needed to work on!
Tools Exercise 2 - Automation0:57
That’s What I Expected To See…7:29
In this lecture we will take a little dip in to Lean Manufacturing (Poka-yoke), and how you can use it to solve some very serious process problems...I always train my teams in the use of lean principles :)
Tools Exercise 3 - Poka-yoke0:46
The Third T: Talent5:47
This is my favourite T: Talent.
I will use everything at my disposal to access this quality in my team. In fact, the first two T's are the stepping stone to get to here...so let's take a look.
Planes and Peer Brains4:39
In this lecture we'll take a look at a simple system to enable you to access and share the great ideas and creativity of your peers...if someone has a great nugget of information that would benefit others...share it!
Talent Exercise 1 - Info Share0:40
Where Are My Trousers?6:27
This is a great story of how a young lady in one of my teams asked a question that hadn't occurred to me in 20 years...and how that question led her to saving 20 minutes, 4 times a day, and deliver the training she's never found the time to do...
Talent Exercise 2 - Limelight And More Ideas1:03

The Welcome Bucket2:14

Motivation - Mr. Motivator3:27
This is the first lecture on motivation, and we'll discover the absolute most powerful motivator of all...
Motivation - Whose Company Is It, Anyway?3:29

If You Can’t Change The Culture…4:48

"Good Morning", Or What I Learned From Bill2:07
This is one of the first things I ever modelled (or copied) from one of the best managers, and nicest people, I've ever met...

What Other Students Are Saying:

"Alan's experience is very valuable. It holds some eye-opener situations when you have to focus on process & solutions, not people to blame. Also a very easy-to-follow course, divided in small chunks easy to hear. Helpful course to have if you don't have great amounts of time at your disposal." - H. Paúl Cervera-García

"Good stuff. More practical stuff than most leadership books." - Joseph D. Rotman

"A leader Is a dealer in hope"

Napoleon, said that. And he was right. Clever guy, Napoleon.

The terms leader and manager are often used interchangeably, but there is a difference. And in the current competitive market, it's not enough to be one or the other...you must be able to be both, if you want to get the most from your team.

In this course, I will show you how.

______________________________________________________________________

"...a terrific course for someone at any level of management. Does a great job in focusing on true leadership with business examples; not simply pointing out 'management' tactics that specifically apply to the workplace. Highly recommend!" - Thomas Riley

"Simply awesome course, I loved the examples and how Alan explained everything. Well worth doing.!" - Stephen Lugar
______________________________________________________________________

"But why should I take your course, Alan?"

And that's an important question. Now, it may seem counter-intuitive, but I'm going to paraphrase something George Bernard Shaw said "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach", but some do both.

I remember when I was doing my formal qualifications in my chosen profession quite a few years ago...one of my lecturers often started his sentences with "When I was in industry..." He was a great guy, no doubt a brilliant academic, but he hadn't practiced what he was teaching for over 20 years. I think it's a perishable skill.

I could tell you I've worked at a senior level across several very different industry sectors: automotive, manufacturing, FMCG, healthcare, pharma, and service industries. I've worked in both the public and private sectors. I've been head-hunted by blue chip companies, Times Top 100 companies...but all of that is history. The important thing is...I still do it.
