Balanced Leadership

Honed over 20 years of research and practice, our model provides a personal development roadmap throughout your career. Nine key behaviours that can be learned, enhanced and passed on…

Balanced leaders are ...

Team Transformation

Transform a collection of imperfect individuals (including yourself) to a high perfect team… You may want to re-energise an existing group, build a new team post-merger or simply integrate newcomers as quickly as possible.

High performance teams think and behave differently. They draw on strengths and differences – we have the science and experience to prove it! We work with you and your team both one-to-one and as a group to lift performance quickly and efficiently.

Focusing on key events

Any team can improve. Your job is to deliver it every day. We intervene in three high impact areas:

Real world strategy workshops: we’re not talking about the once a year snooze fest…. We align personal values, culture, and strategies to get results fast. When everything is aligned you don’t need to convince people, motivation comes from inside
Team Roadshows and IPOs: preparation is everything. You have worked hard at your business pan, chosen the right advisors – now it’s time to tell the world… Congruence, alignment and good story-telling are key
Board effectiveness: recruiting the right NEDs, ensuring they play their role both as specialists and as a team in engaging with EDs can be tricky. The formal Board Effectiveness review is only the starting point…

Talent Strategy

Build something impossible to imitate: an engaged and competent workforce, aligned with the company’s purpose and strategy.

What is Talent Strategy?

In a world where outsourcing and process templates rule, Talent is the last area where companies can generate sustainable competitive advantage – an engaged and competent workforce, aligned with the company’s purpose and strategy is hard to copy. And in today’s world of highly mobile millennials and beyond, you want to ensure that they are good leavers and that you will work together again later in their careers.

We work with our clients in three areas:

Talent strategy
Pre- and post-merger talent integration
Support for big strategic moves
