Senior Teams and Leaders

The effectiveness of your Senior Leadership Teams is probably the single most influential factor in the performance of your organisation that you control. It is therefore a key operational risk. Yet it is often overlooked in terms of how it is working to realise its potential. Working well it can lever focus, drive, innovation and change. More than that it sets the ‘tone’ for everything encouraging synergy and value creation through collaboration, openness and a commitment to success.

Leadership Teams

It is well-evidenced that team performance makes or breaks organisational success. Steve's approach combines team development at the same time as working on vital strategic issues. This ‘workout’ method has proven time and again to be a highly successful approach. Steve has delivered sessions at the highest level often helping resolve long standing ‘blockages’ to high performance. With skills and experience drawn from performance psychology, mediation, business insight and extensive global experience with multi-national, multi-cultural teams he is often the go-to consultant in times of threat and opportunity.

As CEO of a number of entities within a large FTSE listed organisation, I have worked with Steve regularly over a period of 12 years. His support in helping me build effective leadership teams in various business that I led, has enabled our organisation to deliver some extraordinary results.

Bad conflict is corrosive, incredibly value destructive and directly and indirectly very costly. And yet too often is left undealt with. A trained mediator and tough facilitator Steve has a track record of sorting out deep-rooted conflict.
