As we step into 2025, it’s natural to reflect on the past year and set intentions for the year ahead. While personal resolutions often take center stage — like adopting healthier habits or learning new skills — it’s equally important for business leaders to focus on professional growth and the impact of their leadership on their organisations.

This year, we encourage leaders to go beyond fleeting resolutions and embrace purposeful, sustained development. The challenges of leadership, especially in fast-paced and growing businesses, require more than just good intentions: they demand resolve, vision and the willingness to learn and adapt.

From Resolutions to Resolve

Traditional New Year’s resolutions often falter because they lack structure, support and a clear sense of purpose. Studies show that two-thirds of people abandon their resolutions within a month, slipping back into old habits. For leaders, this can be a critical missed opportunity.

Effective leadership is not about quick fixes or short-term gains. It’s about cultivating a resolute mindset; a purposeful and steadfast approach to creating meaningful change. At its core, resolute leadership is about holding a vision for the future and inspiring others to work together toward it.

Navigating the Challenges of Growth

For small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), growth brings unique opportunities but also significant challenges. Rapid expansion can leave businesses feeling like they’re constantly firefighting, with leaders ricocheting from one issue to another. These pressures can strain teams, processes and even the leaders themselves.

Recognising these patterns and preparing for them is essential. Leadership skills are not innate - they are learned, practised and refined. This means that every leader, regardless of their starting point, has the potential to grow and adapt to meet the demands of a dynamic business environment.

Why Leadership Development Matters

Leadership isn’t just about achieving business goals; it’s about creating a positive impact that extends beyond the organisation. Strong leadership drives employee engagement, fosters innovation and contributes to a thriving workplace culture. It also sets the tone for sustainability, resilience, and long-term success.

In 2025, let’s make leadership development a priority. By investing in yourself as a leader, you’re also investing in your team, your business and the wider community.
