Tom Diamond of Indicators International, Magherafelt

"Excelus Managers ability to effectively demonstrate and communicate leadership skills have impacted on me personally and our entire organization. The principles are aimed at developing leaders, and leaders with real leadership skills are the number one need in any organization today. The teaching style is engaging, accessible and meaningful, even entertaining. Without fail, the workshops always include a great mix of honesty, compassion, challenge, wisdom and humour”
Kevin Wilson of Francis Dinsmore, Kells
"Excelus Managers provided me with the opportunity to take time out from the normal hectic day-to-day business routine and focus on:
- improving my leadership & management skills
- motivating and improving the performance of staff within our organisation
- networking with managers from other businesses to share ideas, thoughts, and experiences
For my project, I worked on an area of the business outside my "comfort zone" to help me develop skills and knowledge whilst providing worthwhile benefit to Dinsmores
“Excelus opened my eyes to the role that everyone in the business can play and contribute as a team for the future success of the business. Hopefully our people are starting to see me in a different light. I’m working at being a better listener and providing more encouragement and recognition to others. I’m challenging people more – whilst at the same time giving them the opportunity to perform.”
"Excelus Managers has been a really good experience; it has set in motion a continuous learning process which continues on beyond the end of the programme.”
Alan Johnston of McLarnons Feeds, Randalstown
"Excelus Managers emphasised that management practices do not have to be complicated to be effective. The workshops tackled every day topics which could apply to any business. Learning to lead has also helped me to get more from others freeing up my time to get on with developing and progressing the operational side of our business. With our MD also having progressed through Excelus, he and I now have a similar mind set on how to approach issues, especially where radical change is necessary.”
“Excelus Managers has made me realise things about myself I never knew before. This has given me a basis for adopting different management styles in different situations. With Excelus Managers under my belt I am constantly challenging how things are being done which has reaped major benefits for McLarnons.”
Brian Beattie of McCulla Ireland, Lisburn
"For myself the major benefits I derived from Excelus Managers were as follows:-
- to realise that I can’t do everything, and understand the importance of delegating to others
- to understand the need to really empower subordinates so that they can fulfil the job expected of them
- to realise that staff need clear instructions/ job descriptions setting out what I expect from them
- the realisation that if I get staff to buy in to changes I wish to make, it is much easier as they feel ownership of the project
- the technique of breaking a problem up into smaller pieces ie., “eating the elephant”
"In addition, Excelus has given me the ability to step back from immediate daily problems and look at the “bigger picture”
“Regarding McCulla’s –I feel the company has gained immensely in that the Directors now have clear insights as to how to achieve objectives - and how to bring line managers and staff along with these plans.”
