As a successful business, and to continue driving the organisation forward you need exceptional leaders. You need them at all levels of your business, and you need to know you’re giving them the support, confidence and autonomy to thrive.
How We Help. We drill down into what is holding organisations back in relation to the performance of their leaders and come up with practical, specific, measurable solutions. Some of the issues that we help organisations with:
- Leaders not effectively leading their staff resulting in low performance and productivity, inefficiencies and non-achievement of objectives
- Leaders constantly stepping in to problem solve and make decisions which means that their time is taken away from the strategic priorities of the business
- Low staff engagement and motivation, leading to low performance, low retention, absenteeism
- Poor communication both within teams and across the organisation (silo mentality) resulting in low trust between teams, low commitment to decisions, lack of accountability
- Leaders that micro-manage because they are reluctant to ‘let go’, citing lack of trust with staff, no time for development, little succession planning
- Not achieving targets, or achieving them by fire-fighting, crisis management and long hours; poor planning and strategic thinking, organisations not achieving growth targets or strategic objectives
- Leaders lacking confidence in their leadership role
- Poor succession planning, not planning for the future with respect to effective people strategies
- Newly appointed team leaders and supervisors reluctant to ‘step-up’ and take on responsibility
We work with local, national and international enterprises who understand that recognition of behaviour patterns, clarity of vision, development of leaders and insight into relationships are the cornerstones of success.
“I worked with Fiona for over a year on a management development training programme to up- skill 20 area managers in a variety of sales, customer service and team management skills. She delivered an innovative, challenging and relevant programme which has inspired a number of the managers to greater ambition and performance. Several are now regional directors.

“Since we partnered together over a year ago I have found Fiona to be extremely supportive, highly flexible as we have had to change many interventions at short notice. Fiona you have been an utter professional and embraced our complex organisation and delivered everything we have asked of you at a very high standard.
