Leadership & management development

“Leadership is a choice, not a position”

Stephen Covey

The best leaders constantly connect their teams to an inspiring shared goal and support and challenge them to relentlessly pursue it. They set the tone for their organisations. They recognise that everything they say and do sends out a message which shapes the culture of the organisation.

And yet studies show that nearly three-quarters of UK organisations report leadership and management skill deficits. Two-thirds of these organisations report that their senior managers lack the essential skills to perform to a high standard and 70% report that their managers lack the critical attributes for success in future roles. Why is this the case?

WHAT WE DO

Supporting leaders to create high performance environments

Too often managers are promoted as a result of their individual contribution rather than their leadership capability. Struggling to adapt to their new responsibilities they repeat what they have always done and assume that their past behaviours will prove successful in their new roles.

We recognise that different levels of leadership require different mindsets and behaviours. Developing these new mindsets and behaviours requires challenging and letting go of existing limiting beliefs and habits. It involves being able to answer why it so important to be a manager or leader right now and what it really means to be one in the current organizational context.
