Multi Award-Winning Anna Mosley Calls Out ‘Extraordinary Leadership’ Missing From Today’S Workplace

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) LONDON, Nov. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Founder of EightyTM , the UK's leading training company in Leadership & Growth Mindset, Anna Mosley, believes the solution to the ongoing leadership crisis within workplaces lies in developing 'Extraordinary Leadership'.

According to a recent Gallup poll of over 1 million workers, 75% of employees leave their job due to a bad boss.

With a career dedicated to transforming the mental fitness and performance potential of leaders and their teams, Anna is disrupting the industry to think bigger about what it really means to lead effectively.

“Leadership isn't just about managing people; it's about inspiring them, guiding them courageously through challenges and – taking a tailored approach - empowering them to be their best. That's what truly makes a leader extraordinary,” says Anna Mosley, the UK's No. 1 High-Performance Coach in Leadership & Growth Mindset.

“Too many organisations fail because their leaders lack mental fitness and/or have never been taught how to lead. Toxic behaviours can destroy team morale and motivation, seriously hindering results. From ego-driven management to micromanagement, we are witnessing a leadership crisis that must be addressed immediately.”

“What makes a leader special? What makes a terrible leader? If we look at leadership through the lens of Trump's re-election and the debate this has stirred, we can see how certain traits can have a detrimental impact,” says Anna.

“The question we need to ask ourselves is: What kind of leader do we want to be? One that inspires, motivates, and creates leaders of the future, or one that stifles creativity, undermines their team, and fosters a culture of shame and blame?”

Through her programmes, Anna teaches leaders how to identify and avoid common pitfalls. She highlights six leadership types that kill team performance and morale, which are crucial to understand when seeking to build an engaged and high performing workforce:

The Dominator – Overbearing and controlling, they squash creativity and autonomy and can induce a sense of fear.

The Perfectionist – Critical and obsessed over the end result, they overlook small wins and effort, causing demotivation, burnout and stress.

The People Pleaser – Wanting to be everyone's friend, they manage both upwards and downwards poorly. The team lacks discipline and boundaries, resulting in complacency.

The 'I'm Too Good'er' – Stuck in their 'ivory tower', they are disconnected from the team, resulting in lack of empathy and connection with the team.

The Thief – Steals credit for others' work, causing frustration and mistrust.

The Know-it-all – Refuses to listen to new ideas, stifling cognitive diversity and innovation.

Anna added:“In leadership, understanding the damage to culture and performance that these behaviours cause is essential if we are to move forward successfully.”

Through Eighty's transformative leadership programmes, workshops, and one-on-one coaching, Anna gets leaders mentally fit and embracing growth mindset so that they can first self-lead effectively. The second step is then how to unlock the extraordinary potential of the Team. Participants learn to tailor their approach for maximum influence, to lead teams powerfully through change and adversity, and to nurture high performance culture to rocket results.

With a passion for helping people achieve their greatest potential, Anna Mosley is paving the way for the next generation of leaders. With a firm belief that we should be upskilling professionals on how to lead before they step into a leadership role, Anna's approach to leadership promotes high levels of self-awareness, continuous improvement, and a relentless drive to inspire greatness in others.
