🧑‍💼 Start Here¶
You don’t need to be a “cyber person” to lead on cyber.
You just need to talk about it, prioritise it, and make it part of how your people work.
Flagged Open for Leaders is designed to help you do exactly that — without the buzzwords or the doom.
đź’¬ Why leaders matter¶
People copy what their boss pays attention to.
If you treat scam awareness like an IT problem, they’ll do the same.
If you treat it like a people skill, they’ll follow your lead.
Flagged tip
The most powerful sentence a leader can say after a scam attempt?
“Thanks for reporting that — let’s look at what we can learn.”
🧠What this section covers¶
- Building a culture that spots red flags early
- Running short, fun awareness moments that stick
- Encouraging honest reporting (without blame)
- Leading by example during incidents
🧠Leadership mindset¶
Cyber isn’t about firewalls — it’s about trust and behaviour.
Your people are already the first line of defence; they just need tools, language, and permission to speak up.
A healthy culture beats any technology.
đź“Ł Start the conversation¶
This week:
1. Ask your team, “What scam attempts have you seen lately?”
2. Share one lesson from this site.
