The answer to this question will vary from organization to organization. For some, it is all about cutting cost by reducing head count.

Too often, traditional management is still aligned with outdated, top-down command and control management thinking. Our research and experience show that today’s employees demand meaningful work, support, and autonomy to achieve their results, especially in uncertain and challenging environments. They want leaders and managers who care for them as people, unambiguous communication, and opportunities to learn, grow and succeed in their roles. They want someone who challenges them and supports them, who facilitates learning, helps them adapt to changing conditions, not a traditional command and control boss who has all the answers.   About Mike Denison Mike is a leadership performance coach and executive coach, he was one of the first managers in the UK Toyota Operations in the early 90’s.

A niche is defined by the problems its students have. A niche teacher focuses on a very specific group of learners who have a very specific problem, for example, Arabic-speaking medical professionals who need to work on their pronunciation and presentation skills. A niche teacher offers their niche a very specific solution to their problem.   As a passionate teacher who has been travelling and living abroad for over 15 years, I believe that niche teaching is the future for several reasons. The most important reason is that the vast majority of English learners need to communicate well for a specific purpose. But it takes a certain kind of person to be a niche teacher. What qualities are necessary? How does a student know what they need? How can you find a niche teacher? What are the pros and cons of niche teaching for you […]
