Event Overview	As leaders, we all act with the best intentions. But what happens when our inside intentions are not reflected by our external behaviour? It’s harder to influence upwards, our teams don’t respond well and our results can stall… Consider the leader whose intention is to support their team and maintain a high standard, and yet is seen by their manager and their team as a micromanager. Performance suffers. Derailed! Belinda gives the audience speed overviews of the 12 leadership derailers, drawing laughter and insight as people recognise themselves and others. This keynote draws on her book ‘Developing Direct Reports: Taking the guesswork out of leading leaders’, and will give you immediately actionable insights to improve your leadership performance.
