Launch of Leadership Plus for Local Leaders in North East

Two local business owners – Lesley Hunter from Sunderland and Malcolm Gallagher from BizVision in Northumberland – have brought together their complementary skills and expertise to launch a dynamic new programme to catapult business growth in the region.

Leadership Plus is a highly interactive 90-day programme that helps top level leaders manage, measure and demonstrate continuous improvement and growth in their organisation. Based on BizVision’s unique web-based business scorecard it gives busy leaders complete access and control over the key indicators of their business. By collaborating with BizVision, Lesley brings her nationally recognised expertise in leadership and behavioural development to the programme and provides targeted specialist input in the form of face-to-face and virtual mentoring alongside a team of experienced business mentors. This is further supported by an online hub providing a vast resource of instant learning and knowledge with incisive short videos and valuable resources such as templates, toolkits and guides. According to Malcolm, “Leadership+ is not for the business that is content to be mediocre. It is only for you if, in 90 days time, you want to be substantially ahead of where you are now!”

Explaining why she is involved, Lesley said: “Understanding behaviour and getting the leadership right is fundamental for any business aiming to grow. In the current climate, many organisations are cutting back on their investment in training and development, which raises serious questions about the management and sustainability of leadership talent. Leadership Plus gets straight to the core of what is happening in a business and highlights what the leaders need to do – there is simply nowhere to hide. This is why I am delighted to be working with Malcolm and his team on such an innovative and interactive approach as it will undoubtedly develop exceptional leadership and promote sustained business growth in our region.”
