Leadership Development

What we offer

We will talk to you to find out what will bring value to your organisation and how developing leadership skills fits with your objectives. We deliver leadership development in a number of ways:

• We use one-to-one mentoring with leaders, particularly helpful when they are first appointed or if they are leading teams but have had limited leadership development.
• We run workshops where we will use different scenarios in open discussion and in small group working. This will elicit some of the challenges facing those present on the course and help develop strategies to deal with them. There will be a little theoretical input – but the majority of the work is around the development of practical skills. This can include:

• coaching skills for managers
• dealing with change (including barriers, communication, staff involvement strategies and media coaching)
• talent management - getting the right people, retaining talent or tackling “poor” performance
• the challenge of making “thinking” time
• and developing different types of power

• We organise and facilitate Board events (see also Facilitation) drawing on a range of speakers and demonstrators.

Leadership

We aim to develop the leadership skills that are needed in modern industry and public service. There are many areas talked about in leadership today that might be relevant:

• “hard” skills and “soft” skills
• emotional intelligence and being aware of personal impact
• spiritual intelligence
• being consultative yet still making tough decisions quickly
• achieving the bottom line in performance terms yet retaining an ethical heart to the business and being true to personal values
• taking account of different cultural contexts
