Fishing fly

"Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime."
Confucius

Delegates' comments:

“I have experienced a marked change in the way that my staff deal with problems – they are significantly better at resolving issues themselves. This has enabled me to delegate day-to-day issues, and spend my time doing the work which I do best.”

“My ability to question, enquire – and to help others to find their own solutions and maximise their potential – has significantly improved. This has been the most rewarding development programme I have ever done.”
