Do you know where your organisation is heading and how your leadership will take it there? Do people working in your organisation always do what you want them to do? Is your team consistently enthusiastic, engaged and motivated to do its best? A Buzz in the Building will change the way you think about your business. The wisdom and stories gleaned from Kate Mercer's lifetime of working with business leaders make this book an engaging and inspirational read. Kate takes you through the mindsets and skills required to create an organisation that functions as smoothly and organically as a beehive. When you've read A Buzz in the Building you will know how to: create great teams of people who know where your organisation is going and are enthusiastic about playing their part in getting there; communicate so people do what you want them to do - willingly and without having to be chased all the time; and build a brilliant organisation that is as successful as the business it supports, that clients want to work with, and new employees want to join and stay part of.
Through her consultancy business, Leaders Lab, Kate Mercer works with clients to create healthy organisations in which people develop the skills and resources they need to do a great job. Kate is also passionate about the use and impact of words and has put this into effect over many years both as a manager in business and as a consultant to organisations large and small. The combination of her natural ‘can-do’ attitude to leadership and her ability to speak and write in plain English made the writing of A Buzz in the Building, her first book, a joy. Kate writes from her wide experience of leadership – simply, practically and directly.
