Our Leadership Insights

We’ve led dozens of corporate teams through virtual leadership development programmes, and this experience, and our focus on ensuring remote learning is effective, has provided us with some valuable insights that can be applied by those leading teams of remote workers.

The last few months have seen ‘business as usual’ take on a whole new meaning. Organisations in almost every sector have had to learn very quickly to carry on as best they can, in the face of increasing levels of uncertainty and challenge.

In the midst of this many leaders have risen to the challenge, but equal numbers are succumbing to pressures created by our current reality – and the difference between success and overwhelm is often as simple as mindset.

The Coronavirus pandemic has caused many disruptions for businesses around the world. This includes those who are undertaking leadership programmes to create better leaders for their organisations.

However, this new situation we find ourselves in has led to the need for new training scenarios and that’s where virtual leadership development programs come into play. And we’ve seen some very interesting actions due to their implementation.

It’s estimated that global investment in leadership development is up to US$300 billion every year. Which begs the question – just how much value is actually generated from that spend? We provide 4 answers to improving the ROI of leadership development.

Conversation – it’s something we all do, every day, often without much conscious effort. However, in a professional context, the way we approach conversations with colleagues can have a significant impact on how individuals and teams perform within an organisation.

There’s no disputing that the world we live and work in is advancing at an ever-increasing pace. From apps to AI, the level of technological nous needed to do just about any skilled job today is a quantum leap ahead of where it was 10 years ago.
