Leadership

Based on our ground breaking research into real world effective (and ineffective) leadership, our robust, objective approach diagnoses what each of your leaders does. It analyses the impact of their behaviour, competencies and leadership style on your business results. They change only those things that make the difference fast. This is about aligning leadership in the workplace to your strategy, not some academic view of leadership theories. It is practical, results focused. Effectiveness involves the appropriate management of resources as well as people directed toward achieving results.

Uniquely, the “de-railer” analysis identifies the most serious blockers to leadership effectiveness for each person. These can have 3 times the impact of a positive factor and need extra focus to remove them in order to increase the contribution your leaders make to the bottom line.

Versions exist for executive, middle and first line managers.

Results
