At leadership & talent , we thrive on helping leaders and talents reach their goals and dreams. Ultimately, when done well, this leads to higher employee engagement and more well-being. What’s not to like? It’s really quite simple. If we fully engage all our colleagues, they will perform well and stay with us. And the best talents will join us too. Top management goes first. They walk-the-talk. Then the powerhouse of leaders goes to work. They role-model and enforce values an

Hi there, So why run these programs? Here are some factors which may help you consider the impact (and ROI) of systematically working with the pipeline of leaders and talents in your organisation.

Hi There, So how do you train your leaders and talents best for the future? As training has become easier it has also become passive (less interactive) and outdated (not future-proofed). What you must do is combine these two – interactivity & future-proofing – in programs focusing on Future Skills , whether that be in the classroom or online. Future Skills.

She or he moves on to another organisation after having experienced broken promises, poor talent management a

The answer is probably both. We often hear that gathering colleagues to attend face-to-face training sessions at hotels and conference centres will never be the same again. Similarly, colleagues training others at the workplace or central headquarters when implementing new systems, processes and mindsets is unlikely to be the same in future.

Some things ma

We often hear about the challenges of ‘Working From Home’ or ‘Remote Working’ where an employee feels distanced from the team or leader due to a geographical gap. This usually describes sub-contracted employees or workers at global locations, where distance is an everyday issue. But right now it is something different. We have never been more challenged or completely fed up with our situation, with millions of people working from home for the first time without choice or prev

Hi there, I often hear that it can be difficult to navigate through the many options of personal assessment tools. I am frequently asked “Which tool should we use? You have experience with many, so tell us which one is best?” Ask more questions To answer that you need to start asking more questions. Ask yourself: 1. What is the purpose of the activity which you have planned? e.g. leadership training, talent development, recruitment, individual or group coaching, organisation
