Leadership
Development
Leadership is learned more than it is earned. Knowing how to do is not the same as knowing how to lead. And yet, often, the path to leadership has been carved by technical expertise or tenure rather than being a capable leader.
What this service looks like
Leadership development
A queue of people lined up to take over senior positions is not a leadership strategy. Every leader needs to have access to tools and information that makes them more effective and more confident – in particular; feedback from their teams. We help organisations from every kind of industry leverage the best available tools to deepen their leadership capability.
Group workshops
We have a team of experts with deep experience in supporting clients with investigating workplace issues (such as allegations of bullying and harassment, serious misconduct). Before launching any investigation, we always encourage clients to assess whether an investigation is the best port of call or whether a more restorative process might be more appropriate.
Individual coaching
Every leader needs to build their leadership style around their own personality and skills. When we work on developing leadership skills at an individual level, we always start by understanding the person first and building the learning schedule second. This way, we can further strengthen their style and build in the missing pieces of the puzzle.
Lead OnDemand
