Leadership and Management

Leadership should not be the responsibility of a single individual in an organisation. In a dynamic company, leadership is displayed throughout the company, at all levels.

We work with top teams and operational groups to develop collective understanding and skill to lead changes. Leadership is the link between strategy and action. Good leaders take people with them and help them stand on their own feet. When results are achieved, a good leader is able to stand back and allow the team to say ‘We did it ourselves’.

But everyone is different, with differing styles and with varying skillbases. We use a combination of sophisticated psychometric diagnostic techniques,feedback and personal development to develop understanding of the personal choices necessary and help individuals and teams to cultivate and develop new behaviors.

These include:

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

Understanding the difference between self and others can enlighten relationships and enable more tolerant behaviour amongst team members.

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator:

• Is well proven
• Reflects the complete person
• Enables team relationship development

High Intensity Coaching

The Fishbowl technique is a very powerful process for an individual executive to examine a specific issue or problem in depth and detail using three development consultants focused on progressing the issue with them.

360 degree feedback & Learning about the impact of leadership style from those who are affected by it is a powerful way of reinforcing positives, highlighting points for improvement and gaining the benefit of rapid change in attitude and behaviour.

Leadership should not be the responsibility of a single individual in an organisation. In a dynamic company, leadership is displayed throughout the company, at all levels. We work with top teams and operational groups to develop collective understanding and skill to lead changes effectively.

We can develop a leadership development programmes containing:

• Communication and Training Events
• Coaching Meetings
• Action Learning Sets
• Executive Coaching
• Mentoring Activity

Events

With a recent client we prepared the top team for their leadership role related to a specific change through designing a series of preparation events for their teams, delivered with input form the top team. The output of such events is:

• Visibility for the senior team
• People feel informed and involved
• Shared understanding of direction and a ‘future picture’

Coaching Meetings

After establishing your objectives for team performance, we facilitate their achievement through explaining and agreeing the future ‘picture’ and involving them in deciding how to alter day to day actions in order to meet the objectives. This develops ownership and commitment to the new goals.

Action Learning Sets

Action Learning Sets provide groups of employees the opportunity to explore self directed learning through the shared examination of local and individual management or operational issues. Groups are initially facilitated so good practice develops, and gradually become self led.

Executive coaching

Personal coaching for executives and managers can be very effective in helping individuals achieve the very personal improvement to performance that underpin achievement of broader corporate goals. In any change, results occur only when each involved person has chosen to adjust their own behaviour. It needs to be a conscious decision. Personal coaching can help bring change into consciousness, and develop pace in achieving improved results. It is a focused investment in staff development.
