Better leaders.

The relationship between employee wellbeing and style of leadership is generally well understood, but one particular client wanted us to work with their leadership teams to make it much more specific. Over several months we have been developing their leader’s ability to create a culture for energy, engagement and performance, looking at areas such as personal bravery, strength of character, coping styles and psychological safety. These managers report they are now more inspired, confident and knowledgeable about leading for wellbeing, as well as being able to provide the right support and signposting when life events threaten to overwhelm.  

It is not enough anymore to just ‘spot the signs’ of stress in a team– line managers need to lead in a way that enables people to bring their best selves to work every day. Leaders are often unaware of the impact their behaviour has on the team’s ability to perform, and our approach with this client, as with all our customers, was to enable them to see the necessity of managing their own wellbeing and practicing self-mastery if they want to create an environment for sustainable and healthy high performance.  Once they understand how it works for them, they are better able to lead in a way that creates the same positive outcomes for their teams.
