Ethical Management, Facilitation and Coaching

The secret of success is not predicting the future but creating an organisation that will thrive in a future that cannot be predicted.

| Leadership is an all encompassing word which includes management skills integrated with developing people and organisations. What matters most to us is leadership for all and we focus this in three ways, ethical management, facilitation and coaching. |
OUR FOCUS
1) Ethical management – a systems and organisational approach
Business success is more than the bottom line. For the modern organisation attention to the triple bottom line is essential. In today’s society where corporate social responsibility is growing, consideration of social and environmental factors alongside economics is no longer a luxury but a necessity for sustainable business.
This means in practice we can help you:
grow your business responsibly
reduce stress levels whilst increasing productivity
implement social accounting
2) Facilitation – groups and teams
The definition of facilitate is to make easy. Facilitation is used for meetings and for development programmes.
Group and team meetings sometimes get stuck and need dialogue rather than discussion to move forward and change.
Facilitation removes inertia and produces effective decision making. Our development programmes support people to learn and improve their practice. Development starts where training leaves off and succeeds through its direct application in the workplace. Action learning sets are used as the foundation for development programmes to bring both personal and organisational impact.
This means in practice we can help you:
run effective meetings
develop useful business plans
consult with your stakeholders
design & deliver in-house staff / board leadership development programmes
3) Coaching - 1:1

I joined the Leadership Development Programme, with not much expectation,and at a time in my career when I was up against a brick wall,and was thinking of leaving the NHS.The sessions particularly on Leadership styles and Project management have really helped me to function better in meetings and in interaction with other colleagues.
With the action learning sets it is starting to pay off - I have really moved forward and feel at last that I have the tools and where with all to make a difference. As a result work is more becoming more enjoyable and I am getting a buzz from the benefits of a different approach!
