Leadership
development and
behavioural change
The perfect meeting of art and science
The critical foundation
What you want are leaders that have a brilliant set of skills and behave in a certain way. The problem with most leadership development is it jumps straight into those skills in the hope that it creates behavioural change.
But that doesn’t work.
If you want to create behavioural change you need to start with the core human skills which create change and then build the role specific skills on top of that foundation. Core skills such as: how to manage your mind, how to take ownership for your thinking, behaviour, impact and results, how to change how you feel and behave.
Because here’s the thing, behavioural change only happens when people take 100% ownership for who they are, how they show up and their learning – and when they have this deep self-awareness, they can move from where they are now to where they need to be; where they want to be.
It’s this critical self-knowledge and ownership upon which we can build the skills you actually want; it is these foundational skills that form the backbone of individual and organisational change.
Key elements of behavioural change
What we teach
You want leaders that have a brilliant set of skills and behave in a certain way. The problem with most leadership development is it jumps straight into those skills in the hope that it creates behavioural change.
But if you want to create change you need to start with the core human skills that underpin that and then build the leadership and role specific skills on top of that foundation. Core skills such as how to manage your mind, how to take ownership for your thinking, behaviour, impact and results. Because change only happens when people take 100% ownership for who they are, how they show up and their learning.
It is these foundational skills that sit at the heart of any solution we design. Our content is cutting edge, future focused and builds the human leadership skills you’re looking for.
How we teach it
Our workshops are deeply immersive and challenging. Our content is steeped in science and research; however, our delivery style is pragmatic and action based.
You want your leaders to be stretched and pushed out of their comfort zone, and we couldn’t agree more.For change to happen, they need to be radically supported and challenged, pushed, encouraged to be vulnerable, and able to bring their real-life challenges into the room to be coached live in the moment.
Our approach is focused on turning theory into reality, and practising until it becomes second nature. We know it’s the perfect mix of theory, discussion, debate, reflection, and practice that contributed to the success of your ILDP programme. The great news is that’s exactly how we’ve built our programmes.
Programme principles
The content must tell one story
The majority of development programmes are a patchwork quilt of different concepts and ideas. Whilst an attempt is made to string them together, it doesn’t work. For learning to embed, your content must tell one story – for example, “I get to choose who I am, how I behave, the impact I have, the life I create and the leader I become.” And then it must give people the critical skills they need to shift from where they are now to where they want to be.
The programme has to be personal
Rates of behavioural change are significantly higher when the learning is anchored in the personal needs and wants of an individual. Who am I? What kind of leader was I born to be? What do I really want? What’s keeping me stuck? Where am I brilliant? How do I get my thinking to work for me, not against me? All of these questions, and many more, are essential to fully activate each one of us to change and grow.
People have to want to change
They have to want to learn and ‘choose into’ change. Development that is given to us without any conscious decision or effort on our part is far less valued, if at all. The right delegate recruitment process is key – get it right and you will create a team of positive changemakers within your business whose impact will be felt far beyond their reach. We know this works and it’s for this reason that we support you to find the right people, and to give them a platform to become trailblazers back within your organisation.
Your delivery team really matters
For change to happen you need coaches and facilitators that not only deeply understand the content but are experts in facilitating individual change, creating communities of learning, leadership, radical challenge and support. They need to be able to engage, push and challenge, go deep at a moment’s notice, while at the same time create an environment of psychological safety. And… they must do this with equal success in both face-to-face and virtual environments.
The experience must be immersive and experiential
Any programme that isn’t built around the concept of activating change ‘now’, won’t work. Delegates must be radically supported and radically challenged, pushed out of their comfort zones, encouraged to be vulnerable and bring their real challenges into the room. It is about turning theory into reality, and practising repeatedly, until it becomes second nature. It’s this concept of radical challenge and radical support that will create the radical change you’re looking for – and it’s this approach upon which our programmes our designed.
The learning must be multi-dimensional and integrated
Programmes that work are multidimensional – large groups, small groups, 1:1 work. Their content is available in books, videos, audios, and social learning environments. They are integrated into the business with fully briefed line managers, platforms to network, opportunities to shadow and shine. All of our solutions are built around this multi-dimensional approach, with embedding solutions core to our design. This isn’t once and done development; we create a whole ecosystem of support to delegates for life.
Development is your greatest cultural lever
…For good or bad.
Hybrid working has meant change for most of us – what hasn’t changed however is our need to belong, feel valued, connected, do purposeful work, and continue to grow – personally and professionally. If you get it right your programme will meet all of these needs. Whether delivered virtually, or face-to-face, it will build loyalty, engagement and community, creating a talent pool that will take your business into the future.
Phew… that’s a lot. But it’s exactly what we mean by the perfect meeting of art and science.
It’s this level of understanding of change upon which our solutions are built. It’s what makes our programmes truly unique. And it’s the reason that we know our programmes will create the exceptional leaders and change you’re looking for.
