Whom
Type of leaders we work with
We work with those individuals who are strategically important for the success of your organisation at various organisational levels. This may include:
1. Seasoned or established leaders (senior executives/managers)
We assist senior leaders to create vision, set and enable strategy, inspire and drive change, build strategic alliances, challenge ‘business as usual’, and drive breakthrough results to establish new standards of performance. This requires their commitment to extraordinary outcomes and to develop, not only higher capabilities but, most importantly, new ways of being and leading.
2. Emerging leaders (middle managers, individual experts or contributors)
We transition successful technical experts or individual contributors (functional managers, often with new P&L responsibilities) to being leaders of people and teams. We do this by building their strategic thinking and equipping them with new leadership perspectives and capabilities.
3. High potential or aspiring leaders (your next generation of leaders)
We accelerate the transition of high-potential leaders/managers. We can help you identify your pool of future organisational leaders and accelerate their development to create powerful leaders. We assist these individuals to lead themselves by increasing their self-awareness and understanding, personal effectiveness and performance.

Approach and methodology
Our approach is transformational in nature. We go beyond using traditional management education approaches, such as providing knowledge or information, conducting skills or competency development. Our approach enables individuals to transcend historical perspectives and create a new view of what is possible. It also enables individuals to be able to confront and resolve issues, and achieve goals and targets that previously seemed immovable, intractable or impossible.
We customise and integrate our approach to your unique context and needs, which may include using a combination of any of the following methods:
- Evidence-based quantitative assessment (e.g. psychometric tools, personality profiling, 360 degree feedback and competency assessment).
- Qualitative assessment (in-depth interviews and/or focus groups).
- One-to-one coaching, including feedback and feed-forward.
- Adult learning principles, experimental and action learning methods; reflective journaling; conducting strategic projects; residential programmes; cohort events; and programmes, and transformational learning.
Our methodology is very distinct from what can be learnt at a business school. It is not derived from current fads but rather, is based on a 25-year track record of what has assisted some of the top Fortune 500 companies to achieve extraordinary results. And while it is not academic in nature, we use a proven evidence-based practitioner model in our work.
