At our core

Humanity: the art of
impactful leadership.

Managers are the engine of any organisation. No other role impacts individual, team and business performance more. Yet 82% of managers become so accidentally, receiving no formal management training. They might be the best at their job but that doesn’t mean they can get the best from their people. 

 

As the workplace changes faster than ever, the skills managers need to get the best from their people continue to evolve:

Flexibility

We’re moving further away from the 9-5 as flexible working becomes more common.

Workplace wellbeing

Workplace wellbeing is a people and productivity gamechanger, yet 33% of managers feel out of their depth supporting their teams’ wellbeing.

DEI

Diversity and inclusion are no longer tick boxes. True commitment to diversity of thought is creating competitive advantage

Innovation

Technology, including automation and AI, is disrupting every industry. To innovate and harness the opportunities, ways of working and leading need to change.

Impact

You need curious, empathetic and impactful managers who thrive in this uncertainty, getting the best from their people to drive commercial success.

Talent

The battle for the best talent is intensifying as budgets come under pressure, and leaders are expected to achieve more with less.

A people and team development programme that creates ripples.

The Human Leader programme
shapes people-first managers.

A manager’s primary role is to create an environment where every person has the opportunity to flourish and do their best work.

 

By enabling managers to focus on self-awareness, wellbeing, inclusion and adaptability, the Human Leader helps managers build trust, collaboration and high performance in their teams.

 

This change has to start with the manager themselves. They need to develop the essential self-awareness and reflective skills to be an effective human leader. When managers become better at their job, this positive impact spreads into their teams, their peers and eventually the entire organisation.
