The Challenge – Leading from the Top

 

Many companies are struggling to meet the challenges presented by the rapidly-evolving world.

 

Often there is confusion about the current purpose and direction of the organisations.

 

Staff diligently do their work, but without a strong sense of collective identity or the leadership required to focus and harness their efforts around the most important priories and issues. As a consequence effort, energy, skill and value is often wasted or not fully utilised.

 

Nigel works with senior leadership teams to refresh their collective purpose and direction, and re-align their priorities. This leads to the creation of a practical, unambiguous business plan that can be easily understood and implemented by employees resulting in highly effective implementation.

 

When this is in place the entire organisation is set up to realise transformational change and ground breaking results.

 

The Process  - Accessing Your Company’s Highest Potential

 

Nigel skilfully facilitates workshop sessions that-

 

• Remove blockages in the way of the company realising its highest ambitions

AND

• Ensure understanding of what is required, in the current environment, for the company to fully realise its potential.

 

For the Senior Leadership Team

 

Nigel leads facilitated workshop discussions with the Senior Leadership Team to create a shared understanding of the current internal and external context, identify and dissolve areas of contention,  agree strategic and operational priorities, then create  “breakthrough” projects with workable timeframes,  led and resourced by the appropriate people to fulfil them.

 

All this is undertaken within a clear, shared, refreshed understanding of the purpose and principles guiding the overarching purpose and reason for the company’s existence, including-

 

• What we stand for

• Who we serve

• How we can provide the best version of what we do for our clients and business partners

• How we know we are doing a good job for all our stakeholders …..

 

For the Senior Management Team

 

During facilitated workshop sessions with the combined Senior Leadership Team,  Senior Management Team and other key stakeholders, all above is discussed in open forum,  creating engagement, alignment,  and the commitment of the combined senior leadership,  senior management and other relevant stakeholder communities.

 

This stage creates and/or re-creates the required  alignment, engagement and commitment of the entire senior stakeholder community to the overarching purpose of the company and the guiding principles that underpin the company’s purpose. This becomes the essential backdrop for everything that happens within the company.

 

Once everyone in the senior leadership group is aligned around a shared,  overarching business’s intention,  the key areas for breakthrough and milestones (ie. measurable results) on the journey to realising each breakthrough, the company is set up to realise its full potential,

 

When this is all complete, the most senior managers brief their staff, with the intention of ensuring the work done by everyone supports and moves the areas requiring breakthrough forward.

 

On an ongoing basis, everyone in the organisation is regularly reminded about the company’s over arching priories, and the breakthroughs required to achieve them. Everyone receives regular progress updates, including feedback about their team and their individual contributions towards the breakthrough that will lead to the required results.

 

Ensuring Real Operational Success

 

Regular follow-up workshop sessions are held with the most senior leadership team to monitor the progress of each breakthrough project, as well as progress towards the company’s over-arching strategic and commercial objectives. Each workshop ensures the required support is provided and that focus is maintained.

 

Freeing Senior Leadership Team to realise new opportunities

 

Whist the overall organisation is focused on realising the required breakthroughs, the Senior Leadership Team concentrate on.

 

• Leveraging successes, leanings and understandings from the breakthrough projects and using these to open up significant new opportunities

• Spreading what has been learned across the entire enterprise

• Applying has been learned to create innovation in multiple aspects of the business .

 

Maximising every aspect of the company potential

 

Effective leaders –

 

• Motivate their people to buy into the company’s clearly articulated objectives.

 

• Recognise and make maximum use of each individual’s , by integrating their contribution within appropriately balanced, skilled and empowered teams.

 

The key to all highly successful outcomes is having the correct people, in the correct teams, doing the correct work, and providing the required tools and support so everyone can operate at their highest potential.

 

Nigel leads experiential, self-generating, educational sessions to enhance the knowledge and capability of staff at all levels, allowing them to continuously access more and more of their highest potential.

 

Details of other leadership and management development modules run by Nigel, can be provided to clients and prospective client’s, to enhance their skills and capabilities, either as stand-alone modules, or as integrated components within this programme of work.

 

Developing your staff – enhancing corporate potential.

 

It is worth noting that the highest potential of every individual and consequently the highest potential of each team and organisation is severely depleted by undervaluing or by not recognising the full range of skills and capabilities within each individual.

 

Within many organisations, these qualities and motivations are not understood and/or are not recognised. This is a source of significant untapped corporate resource and a missed opportunity to harness the primary source of individual motivation.  To overcome this, Nigel has developed a unique way of revealing these qualities,  both to the individual and to colleagues and collaborators. With an updated personal inventory, and human design” profile, developed utilising Nigel’s unique methodology,  becoming available to each participant, to add to their professional resumés.

 

During Nigel’s programmes, individuals are frequently astonished by what they learn about themselves, when they find out who they really are!

 

Within the corporate environment these understandings maximise the company’s potential for realising commercial value and  innovation, whist for individuals, they gain access to the source  of their highest motivation and their career potential.

 

Ultimately the company and each individual participant is hugely enriched by the experience of participating in programmes facilitated by  Nigel, as a consequence of collective and individual hidden resources and potential being tapped into, liberated and harnessed.

 

Realising Wider Potential – developing external business relationships

 

By using a similar approach to creating shared understandings, objectives and intentions, a company can also enhance external relationships and business partnerships.

 

Typically this leads to breakthroughs and innovation on a transformational scale  - resulting in enhanced solutions, optimisation of resources, accelerated development of new technologies, all with the potential to significantly contribute to creating a sustainable world.

 

 

Book an initial consultation

 

Nigel offers a one-hour, free of charge, consultation during which he explains his unique approach and how this can be applied to create breakthrough results for organisations, team and individuals.

 

Where appropriate, he engages with key stakeholders and decision makers within the client organisation to create a tailored programme for their particular needs, including and a bespoke proposal. This is followed by a leadership team briefing and engagement process.
