A NEW LEADERSHIP PARADIGM

The changing world of how of work in the twenty-first century calls for a radical shift in how we think about leadership.

What’s needed is a new people-first approach rooted in TRUST. We need to shift the paradigm from managing to leading; controlling to trusting; motivation to inspiration.

Making this change is key to improving job satisfaction, increases productivity and unleashing human potential.

Becoming a leader requires a mindset focused on enabling others. 

Even those who have been leading teams for years may still not have fully made the shift from managing tasks to leading people.

The challenges of today’s workplace means that leaders need to build new habits around three Ts - TRUST, TRUTH and TIME.

TRUST: Moving from vertical command and control mindset to horizontal partnering that empowers individuals, whilst allowing a clear line of accountability.

TRUTH: Learning not just how to give and receive non-judgemental feedback, but also how to create open communication where teams can focus on constant improvement.

TIME: To build high-trust teams leaders need to go slow to move fast, prioritising time spent coaching team members rather than thinking its quicker to just tell them what to do.

THE THREE PRINCIPLES OF EMPOWERING LEADERSHIP

SO HOW CAN LEADERS MAKE THIS SHIFT?

Leaders don’t need to be told what to do in a static top-down classroom-style learning. They are high-performers and masters of their craft.

Leaders need inspiration. They need case-studies and principles that help them internalise the WHY behind the WHAT.

They need the tools and space to practice new mindsets and behaviours around TRUST, TRUTH & TIME.

In doing so high performing individuals can become astute people-first leaders who unleash the potential of the people that they lead.

To make the shift, leaders need to understand the why:

  • Why do they feel like their teams aren’t matching the high expectations they have set for them?

  • Why does empowerment mean much more than a hands-off approach?

  • Why is vulnerability not antithetical to strong leadership?

A THREE-PHASE APPROACH TO DEVELOPING PEOPLE-FIRST LEADERS:

  • 1: EXPLORE PARAMETERS

    A series of 1-2-1 conversations with a cross section of the organisation to identify the existing stress points.

    The output is a diagnostic on current mindsets and behaviours and and an agreement on what areas to focus on in phase 2.

  • 2: LEADERSHIP WORKSHOPS

    Designing and facilitating workshops to equip your leaders with essential skills, principles and toolkits around Trust, Truth and Time.

  • 3: ONE-TO-ONE COACHING

    Individualized coaching sessions provide personalized guidance for each leader. Addressing specific challenges they're facing and working on strategies to enhance their leadership capabilities.

COULD YOUR LEADERSHIP TEAM BENEFIT FROM A TUNE UP?

Maybe you are planning an offsite or confronting the root causes behind high staff turnover? Whatever the trigger It is always valuable to invest in improving how leaders are able to manage through TRUST, TRUTH and TIME.
