We design leadership development incubators to both increase each leaders skills, knowledge and confidence as well as grow trusting and collaborative relationships in order to build collective leadership and collaboration.
Many organisations have clear and compelling vision and strategy statements yet struggle to implement these successfully. The key enabler for implementation is collective leadership at both the senior and middle leadership levels. Strategically growing networks of leaders within an organisation enables them to co-create change in their own setting.
Supporting leaders to facilitate a collective vision to build positive and sustainable change
Equiping leaders to lead change more effectively, and to embed change initiatives
Developing genuine collaboration within and across organisations and sectors.
Supporting leaders to identify and engage a wide range of relevant stakeholders in order to sustain and grow change.
Exploring a wide range of factors and components to look for connections, interactions and leverage points
Collectively deciding on a strategic approach that maximises opportunities for a way forward that the organisation can prioritize.
An experienced, qualified and skilled sounding board is sometimes just what we need
Getting on the balcony to gain a wider vision. A broad system approach creates connections, synergies and collaboration
Working alongside leaders to maintain focus on perspective as they grapple with the many dilemmas they face
Facilitation of groups enables each team member to understand their strengths and then collaborate as a high performing team.
Supporting leaders in their confidence to facilitate important conversations with their team members to explore areas of tension and opportunity to grow
