Evolution: Leadership Performance Programme

Leading used to seem easy. If the word ‘manager’, ‘director’, or better still ‘chief’ was in your job title, you simply told people what to do and they got on with it. Or else.   

It’s not so straight-forward now. The word ‘leader’ crops up everywhere, even in jobs that used to be called ‘supervisor’ or ‘foreman’. And something else has changed, people don’t seem to be as loyal or obedient as they used to be. Quicker to chase new opportunities, more impatient to get their own ideas heard, and more likely to challenge and debate. The market-place is more complex and demanding now too.  It’s not surprising that people are struggling to lead in an environmentally conscious, out-sourced, web-enabled world where yesterday’s solutions aren’t enough.

So What Does This Mean?

Evolution equips you to face tomorrow’s challenges – not yesterday’s. We help our clients build leadership capability because we know that:

• Leadership depends on the context, so we help people to respond fast to changes
• People’s expectations of leaders are changing – so  we help leaders to understand this and build new and more powerful relationships
• We help people to learn what leaders do (competencies), as well as how leaders think (intelligences)
• Self awareness underpins effective leadership, and we’re skilled at safely accelerating this
• There’s always a dynamic interplay between leading and managing – and we coach people to fine tune their balance

Our clients have included the team leaders of Great Britain’s Olympic team, multi-national engineering firms, mobile communications specialists, local councils, and government agencies. In each case we’ve worked collaboratively to ensure that leadership development is based on the real demands of people’s jobs, not case studies or simulations. This increases the transferability back into the day-to-day work place.  
We listen carefully to your needs and draw on a range of proven tools to quickly design a programme that’s effective for you. A programme typically includes:

• 360 feedback and coaching
• Individual, team or organisational adaptive challenges to focus development on your real world
• Proven development modules to build contemporary leadership skills and intelligences
• Organisational raids to learn from the world of high performance sport
