EXTRACT FROM JLA SPEAKERS BREAKFAST

The challenge for business is how to deal with risk - especially in an increasingly hostile & global environment. Be bold, make decisions, be brave and listen, listen, listen. Understand the risks but do not be frightened. It goes back to this - be confident in who you are & what you do.

And remember it's people who deliver results. You can have the most advanced IT system in the world but unless you take people with you, you're in trouble. When you have a message, a vision, a mission - it must lock into those on the front line, whether in a company or uniforms on the street. It has to be simple, have core values and make sense to people.

Some people say that leaders are born - utter rubbish. Look at every single person who has had an impact in this country - Napoleon, Wellington - they were avid readers, learnt by example and worked their way up. You have to have a broad cross-section of knowledge & understanding to lead anyone. Leaders are not born, they are made.
