Leadership

A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way - John C.Maxwell

Every organisation needs great leadership, people who are fully engaged and supportive and who believe whole heartedly in the ethos of the business.

Leaders who behave as role models and walk the talk gain respect, inspire confidence and motivate their teams to achieve results.

We offer learning solutions in the following areas and will design tailored courses that fully align themselves with your people agenda.

Here are some examples of the leadership approaches we offer:

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

Our approach to leadership is to help individuals to look in the mirror and address behaviours and capabilities to become more dynamic, effective and influential. Our belief is that leadership is about behaviour first and skills second. Good leaders are followed chiefly because people trust and respect them, rather than because of the skills they possess.

So whilst leadership relies on management skills it is very much about personal qualities such as integrity, professionalism, respect for diversity, courage, commitment, sincerity, passion, confidence, positivity, wisdom, determination, compassion and empathy. We tailor leadership programmes to suit the needs of your business.

STRATEGIC INFLUENCING

When we talk to people about power and politics everyone we meet has a story to tell, and usually these tales involve a Machiavellian triumph of self-interest over service and unhappy endings all round. Almost all describe situations where time, energy, trust, goodwill and relationships are damaged. When we dig further, we discover that the net result is usually another loss on the balance sheet - financial and emotional.

Woven into these stories is a heartfelt desire by most people to do good work, to achieve, to succeed, to do the right thing and to do a good job. One of the most serious obstacles that they frequently come up against is negative political activity and abuses of power.

Many directors put great emphasis on recruiting and nurturing the top talent within their industries. This talent looks to their superiors to learn the unwritten rules and codes within your business. To what extent are your senior managers unwittingly cloning the next generation of Machiavellian executives? Are you sure about that? Just do a quick mental check on the balance between your effort on recruitment and your effort to ensure that your managers / leaders are behaving with integrity. Please contact us for case studies.

LEADERSHIP COACHING

Coaching is extremely powerful, both in the giving and the receiving. There is something quite extraordinary about the magic that happens when we are listened to and that means really listened to without judgment. Coaching allows leaders to emerge with a fresh perspective. Our coaching model and process has been developed from a strong conceptual base and enhanced through experience and client feedback.

More than anything coaching is a relationship between people. The more respect, collaboration, trust and openness, the more successful the relationship. We enjoy these privileged relationships and our clients tell us that we are good at building them. For us, coaching is far more than a market opportunity. It is our own chosen path for finding fulfillment in our work and our lives. We have seen its power and its capacity to liberate the potential of individuals, teams and organisations and we are inspired by this. Please contact us for case studies.

We also work with a range of strategic partners to accommodate small team programmes as well as larger team events. Please contact us for case studies.

TEAM BUILD & DEVELOPMENT

Building and sustaining a high performing team is about understanding the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of your team. It is also about each individual in the team to understand their own strengths and limitations and learn how to understand and support each other. We use a range of psychometrics to form the foundation of our team building activities.

We also work with a range of strategic partners to accommodate small team programmes as well as larger team events. Please contact us for case studies.
