We rely on the understanding that flows from conversations, listening and human diagnostics, rather than templates and presentations. Most of our work can be delivered virtually. However, in person is often more powerful. Equally suitable for individuals, groups or teams, our services include:

 

Diagnosing Leadership and Followership

Understanding and advising on the vital relationship that exists in any organisation between the persuasiveness of its leaders and the interpretation of this from those who follow. This is critical for everyone to contribute at their best.  

 

Developing Individual and Team Leadership

Leadership is often viewed as the divine right of the leader, but is not. As with functional expertise, it merits study, effort, work, thought and time. We help people and teams fully know themselves, be clear on how they intend to lead, and then put this into practice. We enable the production of leadership commitments and we coach on our ten leadership fundamentals:

 

Humble: Never resting in pursuit of better.

Transparent: Honest and authentic.

Selfless: Others before yourself.

Empowering: Enabling everyone.

Empathetic: Caring and kind.

Ethical: Moral and with integrity.

Courageous: Doing the right thing.

Accountable: Never shirking responsibility.

Visionary: Always thinking and inspiring.

Example: Never flinching from the burden.

 

Helping Unlock the Potential of Everyone

Does everyone in the organisation feel safe, confident, trusted and empowered to add value and contribute? Are they sufficiently and transparently aware of what is going on to do so effectively? Do the structures facilitate their voices being heard and responded to? Is there a meaningful vehicle through which everyone can innovate? Is the privilege of delegation properly in play? Is senior visibility, care and empathy sufficient to make all of this part of the DNA? 

 

Supporting the Design and Execution of Strategy

Does the organisation know where it is going and why? Does it understand its purpose and the reasons behind its existence and activities? Does it understand what it is not intended for? Does everyone recognise these things with conviction and awareness, and do they all support and champion them?

 

Supporting the Design and Living of Values

Does the organisation have a recognisable set of values and associated behaviours? Does everyone understand and support these? Are they truly alive daily in every action? Do they impact the appraisal of people’s performance? 

 

Developing Crisis Management Capability

Is the organisation capable of dealing with a crisis, or concurrent crises, and making unerringly well-judged decisions at such a time? Has it considered its approach to an ethical conflict? Have worst case scenarios been considered and planned for? Does everyone know their role in a crisis? Has this been rehearsed and prepared for?   

 

Mentoring and Coaching

Supporting the professional development, resilience, growth and day-to-day performance of individuals and teams. Being available to help and act as a sounding board throughout.
