Leadership Development

Leadership Development

Leadership is considered a mastery skill, something all leaders need to continue to work on and develop over their career. We expect anyone responsible for leading people or functional business areas  to be awake, aware and practicing conscious leadership.

The principles of conscious leadership that are reinforced through our development programmes are;

  • Create space in the pace
  • Mind your language
  • Listen Fiercely
  • Be positively contagious
  • Facilitate the possible

Leadership development occurs in a range of ways within our organisation including on the job through new experiences, working with different people and stretching yourself to work outside your core capabilities, personal reflection, coaching, mentoring and exposure to key people as well as involvement in strategically important projects.
