A residential energy services company approached us to support the development of its leadership team. The organisation recognised the need to increase self-awareness among senior leaders, with a focus on understanding how individual behaviours impact team dynamics and overall performance. The goal was to deepen awareness of different working styles, define the characteristics of a high-performing leadership team, and build a culture of trust, accountability, and healthy conflict.
We designed a four-step leadership development programme tailored to the organisation’s objectives and culture. The journey began with psychological profiling to provide each leader with deep insights into their personal style, behavioural patterns, and potential areas for development.
This was followed by individual coaching sessions, offering personalised guidance and reflection. Leaders were encouraged to explore their behavioural impact and begin shaping intentional approaches to leadership.
The core of the programme was a highly interactive leadership workshop. It brought the team together to examine communication dynamics, working preferences, and the essential behaviours needed for high performance. Following the workshop, each leader participated in further coaching, focused on translating insights into action and embedding new behaviours into their day-to-day leadership.
Leaders developed a stronger sense of self-awareness, which led to improved collaboration and more effective communication across the team. The leadership group aligned around a shared understanding of high-performance behaviours, reinforcing a culture of accountability and ownership. Trust deepened, relationships strengthened, and leaders began using conflict constructively to drive innovation and solve problems more effectively. The team emerged more cohesive, resilient, and ready to lead with intention.
“The ongoing support was invaluable. Whenever I felt unsure about something, I knew there was guidance available. The weekly workshops really kept us going, and reminded us to celebrate even the small wins!”
