Leadership development

How to improve your leadership skills for better performance.

Effective leadership helps you get the most out of yourself and your team. This, in turn, positively impacts the organisation as a whole. According to our vision, there are three fundamental building blocks which are required for sustainable and successful leadership development. These resolve around personal leadership, team development and organisational development.

What is leadership development?

Leadership development is about the growth we experience and it makes us, our teams and entire organisations function better.

Developing the leadership profile needed for your organisation has positive effects on strategy execution, dynamics and desired culture. Developing the desired leadership style allows you to take charge of your career; now and in the future.

Focus on interactions and dynamics

According to a study by David Lewis and Alison Reynolds in Harvard Business Review, investing in leadership development programmes improves your company’s performance.

This is partly due to the fact that effective leaders create a high level of psychological safety in teams, which makes it easier for employees to deal with new and complex situations. In addition, better leaders increase engagement, which in turn leads to more productivity within an organisation.

Fundamental elements for developing leadership

The 3 elements below are fundamental to the development of effective leadership skills:

  • Personal leadership
    A sustainable and resilient leadership culture starts with personal leadership. You develop personal leadership by discovering your personal skills, goals and pitfalls. When you consciously give direction to your own career and life, you can also manage others more effectively.
  • Leadership and teams
    You never lead alone. Who are you as a leadership team and how do your leaders deal with the complexity of different dynamics within teams? And how can you efficiently lead self-managed teams?
  • Leadership & the organisation
    A constantly changing world, where hybrid working is increasingly becoming the norm and teams are becoming more independent, requires flexible leadership driven by a clear vision. How do you take your organisation through transitions, innovations and cultural changes?

Dynamics and interactions
