Leadership Development
Develop your leadership capability with our individual leadership development solutions
Leadership Development
How leaders behave has a huge impact on the employee experience and your organisation's culture. Everything they say and do, and how they say and do it, has an impact on everyone around them.
If you want to change your culture and boost employee engagement then ensuring your leaders are demonstrating the right skills and behaviours is crucial.
However, organisations nowadays are less inclined to invest in lengthy leadership development 'courses'. And, we don't actually think they are particularly cost-effective either.
This is why our approach is to provide a more focussed and individualised approach to leadership development via 360 degree feedback and coaching.
Leadership Coaching
Coaching works through a series of one-to-one meetings between the coachee and the coach. Meetings can be in person, but it is now more practical and cost effective do that virtually.
Our qualified coaches work in a supportive way to challenge coachees to:
- review their approach and identify what's working and what's not working.
- commit to small changes to the way they behave.
- review their learning and either modify their approach or cement the change as their new way of working.
One of the limitations of coaching is that we often have to take the coachee's word for it! As such, we also recommend using additional methods to provide feedback to coachees including 360 degree feedback and personality profiling.
360 Degree Feedback
When presented with high quality feedback, people are much more likely to move from awareness (that something needs to change), through to acceptance, and then to action.
This is what makes 360 degree feedback much more effective at promoting behaviour change than conventional training.
We believe it is the best way to develop managers. It is certainly the most cost-effective.
What’s more, as leadership behaviour is what defines your culture, and culture is a key part of the employee experience, 360 degree feedback is also an effective way to drive culture change and improve employee engagement.
360 degree feedback can be used as a standalone tool, or used in combination with individual coaching and as part of a leadership development workshop.
