There are many challenges facing today's leaders, from unstable markets, financial pressures, stakeholder demands, growing expectations of a purpose-built culture to all the demands that society is layering on top. As technology advances and hybrid work is becoming more prevalent, business is undergoing a variety of changes.
To overcome these challenges, a strong leadership style is required. Using our 30 years of experience, we have created a holistic approach to transforming organisations by guiding self-aware and empowered leaders.
Each solution we offer is governed by the following:
· Putting people at the heart of business
· Creating a balance between healthy feminine and masculine traits
· Leading with self-awareness, authenticity and empathy
· Psychological safety underpinning inclusion
· Cross-cultural appreciation
· The considered adoption of technology
· Positive change for the greater good
These elements inspire people to trust, respect, and believe in leaders, which is fundamentally missing in business. Historically, companies have placed profit before people. Success has been achieved in competitive, toxic environments where bullying and fear was interwoven in the culture. Statistics indicate that in the circumstances stress and burnout remain high, while diversity and equity remain low.
Lack of collaboration between leaders and teams causes blissful unawareness. The C-Suite cannot understand the issues or underlying feelings impacting their culture without the trust and openness of their people.
Today many leaders are overwhelmed, underprepared and undertrained for the tasks they are expected to accomplish.
When leaders have the tools to identify their drivers, decision-making and biases, they can create better teams, and cultivate personal and professional success. Understanding yourself is the key, and prerequisite, to understanding others.
A recent Deloitte survey states that “nearly 70% of the C-Suite are seriously considering quitting for a job that better supports their well-being”. What is needed is a way for them to learn how to care for and resource themselves, to manage their drive, state and impact.
Between 50% — 70% of new leaders fail within 18 months of promotion. Drawing from three decades of experience, we use a holistic, human-centric approach to empower leaders with the skills necessary for success.
