Leadership & Talent
Development
“The real role of the leader is to manage the values of the corporation.”
- Tom Peters, the author of “In Search of Excellence"
The culture of an organisation is a reflection of the underlying beliefs of the current leaders. Culture transformation, therefore, must begin with the transformation of its leaders. Our leadership development solutions aim to do just that - developing leaders that inspire and develop the culture of your organisation.
This is particularly relevant when many organisations are trying to develop an agile culture in responding to the VUCA world. Lack of “agile mindset” on the parts of its leaders is the primary cause of failure in agile transformation.
The foundation of our work in developing leadership development is based on the Seven Levels Of Consciousness of Richard Barrett (Barrett Values Centre). Organisations must have the primary focus on the levels which highly support the collaborative way of working:
Internal Cohesion
A sense of purpose and strong
internal community (level 5)
Transformation
On-going improvement and
employee participation (level 4)
Self-Esteem
High-performance systems
and processes (level 3)
Relationship
Positive relationships that support
organisation needs (level 2)
Our Value Driven Leadership approach is aimed at developing the leaders who operates above the level of consciousness – the agile leader.
