developing leaders
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 offer a range of leadership programmes and focus on the
following three areas
-
Strategic Influencing
-
Leadership Coaching
-
Leadership Development
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.
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 fulfilment 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.
We offer a 360 online tool that can be tailored to fit the
requirements of your business.
