Leadership programs for business growth

‘When the effective leader is finished with his work, the people say it happened naturally’ 

Lao Tzu, Chinese Philosopher

The most important leadership characteristic is authenticity, that is, being oneself, and not trying to emulate another’s leadership style. Leading from authenticity must be built on solid leadership principles including ethics, trust, an ongoing commitment to building self awareness and building others and centered around a results based framework, 

Building powerful leaders and teams are the backbone of any organisation. To make this possible, we need to identify specifically, what makes the leadership successful, make it “visible” and know how this can be replicated throughout the business. If success is about individual characters or leaders, then this cannot be replicated. A “star” leader no matter how productive has limited value to the business unless he or she can bring their team with them. 

Our unique difference is our ‘coaching approach’ within a results based framework in everything we do. We bring together the latest research, compelling insights about leadership behaviour and tailored interventions  - a powerful combination. 

Develop world-class leadership skills within your organisation through the utilisation of leading diagnostic tools and a proven methodology for leadership development.

Focused leadership

With often overwhelming and competing demands for leaders attention, coupled with the ever increasing rate of change, there is a need to reduce the ‘noise’ and cut through the complexity to help the business develop more focused, results based leadership. To build leadership talent, we equip leaders with powerful tools and strategies to identify and focus on doing what is truly important for the business so that the business strategy can be realised. When the organisation is tracking against the business strategy, this creates energy, which in turn motivates employees. Everybody wants to feel they are part of something that is growing. Your employees are no different.

Emotional Intelligence

“Emotional Intelligence isn’t a luxury you can dispense with in tough times. It’s a basic tool that, when deployed with finesse, is the key to professional success.” 

Harvard Business Review 

Business is built on people first and foremost. It is always the people side which creates the most questions, angst and opportunity in any business. As such, the human element of any business is always the most challenging and when it is working well, the most rewarding.

Productivity can be fostered by understanding what truly motivates leaders and their teams. This in turn can transform how people work, as well as the culture or the environment.

As human beings, we are simple. We will always lean towards the activities which motivate us and avoid those which do not interest us - our key drivers.

A key to organisational strength is to accurately identify those key drivers across the business and then focus the leadership by working to their strengths. In this way, much can be accomplished to deliver on the business strategy, deliver key results and sustainable business outcomes and a culture that flourishes.

Focused Executive Leadership Program: Retain your talent

‘Know thyself’  Socrates

Self awareness is the foundation of effective leadership. Daniel Goleman calls it the 'keystone' of emotional intelligence. 

Effective leadership begins with self awareness in that there is a direct correlation between how well we know ourselves; and the impact we create on those around us. This becomes increasingly crucial, the more senior we become in the organisation. The cornerstones of our Focused leadership program are:

• Authentic Leadership
• Self mastery
• Strategic Focus
• The secrets to creating a high performance culture
• Results focused framework
• Mindsmarts
• Succession Planning for success

To optimise results, the program uses a team based workshop approach in combination with targeted one-on-one Leadership Coaching and an e-learning platform.
