The challenge for leaders

​Many organisations want to achieve increased profits and growth, yet it doesn't stop there. Directors are looking for a range of solutions to empower teams, challenge themselves, have clarity on priorities and find the right balance of personal accountability and delegated authority…

The challenge for managers

As they grow, businesses and organisations need to draw on their people and teams to take more accountability. At some point the original directors need the support of other managers, but the chances are the people they've recruited so far are subject expects and not necessarily trained in managing others...

The challenge for a growing business

The more a business grows the more there is need for structure. Things no longer work as efficiently when they are just held in people’s heads…

The questions commonly asked

Common questions leaders ask

  • ​“How can I get rid of all the 'stuff' that just keeps getting in the way of achieving our core objectives?"
  • “What do we really want to achieve?"
  • “How do I know if I’m doing the right things, in the right order?”
  • “How do we balance profit growth with creating an organisation where we all want to work?”
  • “How can I get a better balance in my life and my priorities, right now?”
  • “How can we build or develop our management team?”
  • “Am I being effective?”
  • “What are other people doing in my situation?”
  • “How can I stop needing to re-invent the wheel and just get some good practical support I can trust?”

In a ‘not for profit’ or charity, there can also be the added challenge of how the CEO / executive team can most effectively work with the Trustees or Board – many of whom may come from quite different backgrounds and sometimes, quite different viewpoints too.

Common questions managers ask

  • “What can we do you encourage people to take more ownership?”
  • “How do you give feedback that people want to hear and will act on?”
  • “What's the best way to hold tough conversations, while keeping them professional and safe?”
  • “How do we motivate our people to go the extra mile?”
  • “How do we increase performance?"
  • “How do I go about new business without feeling out of my depth?”
  • “How should we market ourselves?”
  • “What can we do better?”
  • “How can I juggle everything I have to do?”
  • “How can I find time to step back to see the bigger picture?”
​

Common questions for businesses

  • “How do we go about creating and delivering a practical, useful and realistic growth plan?”
  • “What can we do to increase profits?”
  • “How do we get clarity on our strategy?”
  • “What processes and systems should we be implementing to make things run better?"
  • “What can we do differently?”
  • “How can we increase sales?”
  • “How do we stop losing our margins on our services?”
  • “Which services and clients should we prioritise?”
  • “How do we get rid of our clients that cost us money and focus on the ones that we love to work for?”
  • “What should we be doing next?”
  • “Do we need to grow? – What other options are there?”

Call me to find out how I might be able to support you. You have the reassurance that I will only ever take on work where I'm confident I can add value.
