Leadership Development
We work with you to
-
Clarify success criteria. What will be different afterwards? How will you know?
-
Engage all stakeholders. We define 'contracts' of support and actions between participants and their line managers so that learning from a programme is translated into concrete, agreed actions on both sides
How We Start
What we do
We concentrate on developing a changed approach in areas of greatest concern and potential impact for your leaders. Our experience tells us that these are frequently:
-
Making the transition to leadership. Being an effective leader involves acquiring new skills and letting go of familiar ones. We use a combination of workshop and one to one coaching to help newly-promoted leaders develop new sets of behaviours and bench-marks of success.
-
Handling people well. Outstanding leaders achieve good working relationships with everyone - not just the people they find easy to work with. We help leaders 'unblock' relationships that have become stuck, identify who their key stakeholders are and deploy more effective negotiating, performance management and communications skills.
-
Forming and maintaining excellent teams. To enhance the creativity and adaptability of an organisation, leaders have to work in synergy with their peers and with their staff. We help leaders forge collaborative, high performing teams, harness diversity to maximise the collective power for problem-solving and build a team of advocates to drive organisational change.
