With the first anniversary of The Scotland Mentoring Group approaching, Group Leader Cameron Thomson sought out the answers to some questions that he felt were key in understanding why members engage with Footdown.
- What have members done better / differently since joining ?
- What benefits have they derived ?
The answers were hugely interesting:
In a tangible sense, members commented that they could see an improvement in their performance leading their businesses. They felt more self assured and confident and that has translated into stronger results and focus. Just as pleasingly, in a quasi intangible sense, they believe they have broadened their breadth of view, increased awareness of their own behaviors (and others around them) and apply more perspective than they had previously.
Interestingly, they also now understand that, as business owners, they have other stakeholders views that need to be considered and included in their Leadership thinking – family, colleagues, suppliers, and customers. The evolution of these relationships is fundamental to their overall development and success. In addition, members found the access to a peer group of professionals to be very helpful in easing that sense of isolation that can be felt when leading a business, but doing so in an environment where they know there is tangible accountability.
