Our Mission is to develop better Leaders, great workplaces, and successful organisations
Through our coaching programs and workshops, our purpose is to help leaders who are doing poorly to do well, and to help leaders that are doing well, to do better! To do this, we help leaders to build IQ - knowing where to take the team, and EQ - getting the team to the destination , by learning how to effectively balance three primary leadership types:
Business Unit Leadership
This relates to the needs of your organisation. Organisations themselves are living organisms: so the needs of the organisation, and each business unit, also need to be considered and addressed. However, taken too far, you risk negative consequences and behaviour when there is an almost single-minded focus on quarterly sales targets.
People Leadership
This relates to the needs of your People. You must have the IQ to understand where to go and the EQ to rally your people to get there! This requires a level of professional competence, in concert with enough emotional intelligence to get the best out of your people, and to understand how to get them onboard with your vision.
Sales Leadership
This relates to a laser like focus on your clients. Every single interaction is an opportunity that you need to leverage. This is not mutually exclusive from the other leadership types; if you don’t balance the needs of your people, and if you cannot influence your own organisation to achieve your client’s objectives, you will not be successful.
