Senior executive leadership development
Development initiatives rarely reach the most senior levels of the organisation
We understand the challenges and constraints which come with senior leadership roles and we recognise that effective leadership is not an end in itself. Clients value our approach because it is rooted in the business context rather than leadership theory.
We work with senior executives both individually and in teams.
There are two elements to our work:
Assessment
Clients value our thorough, objective and constructive approach.
We apply a range of tools, which are of proven value with senior populations.
Executive Coaching
We provide a balance of challenge and support in which clients gain a deeper understanding of themselves, their role and the wider context to frame clear goals and strategies for achieving these.

Leading Through Crisis
Leadership is a key determinant of how well businesses navigate crisis and of how effectively they engage with the threats and opportunities which emerge in the aftermath
Times of crisis place exceptional pressure on leaders. Inaction is not an option but deciding where, and how, to be proactive is a challenge. Leaders often respond by pushing themselves and their teams to go faster and work harder. But this drains precious energy and can fuel a cycle of self-doubt, blame and defensiveness. Crucially, it also deprives leaders of the ability to do the reflection needed to gain a clear perspective and adapt.
Our rapid impact leadership development programme enables leaders to swiftly gain insight into how they can expand their leadership repertoire so they are better equipped to navigate the pressure and complexity of a crisis.
We also facilitate half- and one-day crisis leadership workshops, which provide a space in which leaders can build a better understanding of the essentials of crisis leadership and reflect on how relevant insights can be applied in the specific context of the business, as a basis for focused action planning.
At an organisational level we can also conduct an objective, impartial crisis leadership risk analysis. This provides insights, which help businesses to adapt and enhance their approach in order to minimise their exposure to common traps and engage with emerging opportunities.
