-I’ve got a great team around me >
I’ve got a great team around me. With lecturers, unless you give them the freedom to create and to be responsible as teachers and let them use their skills, then you get dissatisfied people.
My team come in and they solve problems. They’re not just dealing with a course that somebody else has written; they’re looking at how to solve a specific problem. It’s like education: it’s not about the best you can buy, it’s about letting people grow and realise their potential.
We’ve also got a cash pot share. At the end of each year we take a look at the profits and then I share out a percentage. People know what their salary is obviously, but then they can see the contrast with how well we did a particular year.
We’re very open with that process. We’re not going to horde it all away and buy something somewhere abroad, it’s about rewarding people’s commitment and effort, and people respond to that.
