Developing Your Leaders

Your people can be one of your greatest business assets, or one of your biggest barriers to sustainable performance improvement.  Which you get has a lot to do with how they’re led.  Your Leaders have a vital role in shaping success.

One of the advantages we’ve gained from working with people from hundreds of organisations, is the insights into the most common assumptions and roadblocks – the things which can hamper or even de-rail your improvement efforts. 

And one of the most common is assuming that human behaviour is logical. If it was, then changing attitudes, mindsets and behaviours would be a whole lot easier.  In reality, change often meets resistance, even when people can see its benefits. 

So our interactive masterclasses embed real-world skills and strategies, equipping both emerging and experienced Leaders to navigate the complexity of competing priorities, internal politics and challenging personalities - building the skills to mentor and facilitate your developing improvement culture. 

Development focuses on three key areas

Effective Influence

In a high-performance culture, there’s no place for leadership which relies on position-power.  The most effective leaders understand what really drives decisions and behaviours, and how best to tap into it – a skill which we nurture by exploring a wide range of real-world examples, supported by the latest behavioural science.

Successful communication 

The communication throughout your organisation plays a huge part in any programme’s success. So we enhance leaders’ ability both to deliver formal presentations, and have powerful conversations.  And we explore how to actively develop your teams’ capabilities, alongside getting the day-to-day job done.

Resilience

Going for big, scary performance goals brings high uncertainty and stress, and often meets resistance.  So we embed the skills and strategies to keep that stress useful, keeping your Leaders and their teams on track and at their resourceful best, even under pressure
