Personal & Team Development
Ensure performance and skills are fit for the challenges ahead
Managers and their teams can only be reasonably expected tackle the challenges ahead if they have the opportunity to develop the skills and technique they need. Simply replacing them with more experienced and more expensive people rarely achieves the step change or sustained growth envisaged.
The only sustainable solution is a careful considered approach to personal development to ensure that business leaders are all times developing their teams (and themselves) to be future fit.
Overview
Personal development starts with the person - without understanding their motivation, work style, productivity, attitude, behaviour and ambitions, crafting a personal development plan is futile. For teams, a thorough understanding of skills and gaps, is essential before defining the team charter and the behaviours or standards that will guarantee success.
If you are to grow, then you and your teams will have to get used to a process of constant change and evolution - roles and responsibilities will need to develop as the scale and needs of the business changes.
Scale and Grow
"The Management Development and Leadership programme took our senior team from being good operational managers to being genuine leaders of the business.
To continue to scale and grow further I needed the department heads to step up a level and think and behave more like a management board taking wider responsiblity, thinking strategically, supporting each other whilst owning and resolving issues.
This 6 months programme gave them the tools and belief to excel with deep understanding of business planning, team motivation, goal setting and performance management. As a result of being freed to work "on" the business, our growth patch has accelerated"

Supportive and Encouraging
“Working with Stephen has been an absolute pleasure. Stephen’s ability to extract the best from both myself and my colleagues has created a much more focussed and productive team.
Stephen’s style, drive and creativity has helped us create a supportive and encouraging environment, allowing us all to further develop and tune our skill-sets.”

"Stephen has been a massive help in developing our Senior Leadership Team. He is unafraid to voice an opinion, is gentle yet firm and has transformed the way we manage our business. Very highly recommended for his commercial savvy but also his pragmatic approach to solving knotty problems."
