We believe that it is important for leaders to take time to reflect on what they are doing, and how well they are performing, in their leadership role. Our leadership profiling products provide the leaders in your organisation with the opportunity to do this.

Download any of our leadership questionnaires from this web-site and complete them in your own time. To get your PERSONAL leadership profile and report you should submit your completed questionnaire by e-mail. Your report and profile will be generated and can be sent to you either by e-mail or as a hard copy, once payment has been received.

If you are a COACH or TRAINER we can arrange for bulk submission, payment and return of questionnaires in support of a coaching programme or training course. Feel free to distribute your selected questionnaire to your coachees or delegates in advance and contact us directly to arrange submission and return dates.

Our profiling products are, based on John Adair’s Action Centred Leadership model which provides a practical framework to explore leadership development, for individuals and organisations.

Our commercial clients tell us that they can meet their corporate objectives when the leaders in the company are focused on their goals and demonstrating  their shared values.

We believe that sound leadership decisions are a result of listening to people closest to the tasks and closest to the customers and integrating that with the company goals. Prioritising well, requires leaders to step back, observe and think . This is a challenge when the day is full of important demands.

 Leaders can create an environment for innovation and entrepreneurialism with; encouragement, equality and an understanding of people. Teams expect their leaders to be well organised and to do this, leaders need to have a sense of what the future may need and ask stimulating questions. These skills aren’t necessarily natural to all leaders, but through thoughtful training interventions, supported by coaching and mentoring, they can be learned.

We understand that leaders in the public sector need to make complicated policy a simple reality. They need to have excellent intellectual, organisation and people skills to do this.

Public sector leaders need their staff to feel empowered when they implement policies; this requires coaching and ways of generating options.  In order to encourage creativity a public sector leader needs to give a sense, that risks can be taken, and mistakes can be made. This is not easy when you are responsible for public money.

Supporting staff, through change, needs a leader to be emotionally aware, skilled in coaching and even counselling. New, and sometimes reluctant, leaders need simple, practical ways to know that they are on the right track. The skills above can be trained, so people who feel they are not born leaders can see that they are able to lead very well.

We give coaches the respectful attention they need, whilst they pay attention to their professional development

Coaches say that they want an experienced coaching professional to listen to them think about their work.  They want to be in a supportive,  well informed and ethically rigorous relationship with a supervisor.

We have a process for supporting coaches in line with the competencies of the main coaching associations. Our coaching clients come from different coaching disciplines and  have been delighted with the confidence, ease and new skills their supervision has given them.
