Leadership Development

IDENTIFYING & DEVELOPING LEADERSHIP IN YOUR ORGANISATION

“Leadership has nothing to do with having “charisma” or other exotic personality traits. Leadership is about coping with change. Part of the reason it has become so important in recent years is that the world has become more competitive and volatile.”

Taken from “What leaders really do” – John P. Kotter

Jackie has been working with organisations and individuals to develop leadership capacity for over 20 years: From leadership conferences, workshops and forums to individual coaching, 360 degree assessments and Top Team development.

Leaders come in all shapes and sizes and you can find them in the most surprising places. It’s imperative to organisational success to spot people with leadership potential and harness their energy. However, as the saying goes “the fish always rots from the head” – if you’re in a senior management position don’t under-estimate the impact you have as a role model. This is one area where you really can’t just get by...

  • What do you do on a day to day basis to communicate Vision?
  • How do you Inspire others to follow you?
  • What strategies have you put in place to maintain Momentum toward the organisations goals?

Leadership Development Programme at P&O Ferries...

P&O Ferries employs a diverse workforce from over 40 different nationalities. The range of jobs and responsibilities within our company is pretty impressive too. So when it comes to leadership and staff communications we need our managers to have the skills, knowledge and expertise to really connect with all our staff whatever their role or background. Inspired Business Consulting ran our 2007/2008 leadership development programme and I can thoroughly recommend Jackie and her team.

Our brief was demanding. We wanted a two day programme which not only covered the legal issues of managing a diverse workforce but also delivered on our need to embed the Company’s Vision and Values. The innovative and engaging programme Jackie designed and delivered for us was brilliant and exceeded our expectations. On day one we looked at our management responsibilities and covered the legal issues; this provided a great foundation for day two when we turned our attention to business demands and the role of leaders in the Company.

Jackie and her team used a variety of learning methods to engage every participant in the programme. Evaluations showed remarkable improvements in people’s understanding and awareness of issues and feedback showed we had built a real platform for improvement. Like all businesses we have had to develop strategies to succeed during the economic downturn. I believe it’s our proactive approach and the investment we make in developing strong and effective leadership which makes the difference.
