82% of UK recruitment managers enter their role with ZERO leadership training. The result? They’re stuck managing tasks instead of leading teams, and it’s costing them 30% in long-term profitability.
Manager or Leader? The Recruitment Industry Problem
If you’re working longer hours, firefighting daily crises, and watching your team plateau despite your effort… you’re not alone. You’re caught in the leadership vs management trap.
This week on our recruitment discussion, we dive into the critical differences between leadership and management. We analyse new stats from the University of Salford that impact decision-making for both leaders and managers, emphasising that managers often focus on execution. Tune in for essential business advice and leadership skills development to enhance your recruiting strategies. 📈
This masterclass breaks down the real difference between leading and managing in recruitment, not textbook theory, but the honest lessons from leaders who’ve run teams of 2 to 500 consultants. You’ll discover why delegation fails, how burnout creeps in unnoticed, and the exact habits that separate reactive managers from strategic leaders.
In this masterclass, you’ll discover:
• The 3 types of people you delegate to (and why most managers get this catastrophically wrong)
• Why 70% of leaders think they’re engaging staff—but less than half their team agrees
• The “paper boat” mindset that stops you from drowning in other people’s urgency
• How to spot burnout in yourself before it tanks your team’s performance by 10%
• The one question that stops your team asking you to solve their problems
• Why protected thinking time isn’t a luxury—it’s the difference between surviving and scaling
• Real examples: the high-performer who said “stop babysitting me” and what happened next
Quick question: What’s the one task you’re still doing that you KNOW you should have delegated 6 months ago? 👇
