We help you to focus on what really matters, to remake your work culture, to create the new meaning of work

 
 

As our new hybrid environment evolves we recognise that the defining characteristic of our world is uncertainty. We strive to support leaders in exploring and defining what is important to them, their people and their organisations in a time of great complexity. We are passionate about leadership effectiveness, emotional intelligence and adaptive leadership.

The question we are asking of leaders in organisations today is “How are you leading your people while re-contracting, re-engaging and re-energising them while making sense of the new meaning of work?”

As leaders in organisations adapt there is a need to move away from getting stuck in old operational style leadership and move towards the strategic priority of delivering what we believe is a renewed Promise of Leadership to enable the new meaning of work.

Our Latest Project:
Scaling Leadership Adaptability

Leaders need fresh thinking and resolve to thrive and grow during these challenging times when faced with new unknowns at an increasing pace. The defining characteristic of our world now is uncertainty. Equipping leaders with the ability to out pace these complexities is a strategic imperative and requires new perspectives. Scaling leadership adaptability to navigate complexity and improve team effectiveness is critical.

Ascend + 2021

Addressing your Promise of Leadership means being more explicit and deliberate in how you balance your functional leadership role with a more explicit awareness of leadership that provides the ‘new meaning’ of work and is delivered with compassion to a more human-centred workforce. Adapting is a key component of the Promise of Leadership.

To be adaptive requires leaders to:

  • Distinguish the challenge

  • Adapt skills and mindsets

  • Create and implement adaptive approaches

Reach out to us today to learn how leaders can scale leadership adaptability within The Promise of Leadership.

 
We need leaders of the future that demonstrate adaptive behaviours & skills to deal with the growing number of challenges we face at pace.
