Leadership

We offer two leadership coaching programmes. The Strategic Leadership Development programme is designed for partners  and others in senior leadership positions who are responsible for leading other partners and senior managers, such as where they have team, practice group or office leadership roles. The Leading High Performance Teams programme is designed for partners, counsel and others in team leadership roles where understanding people and team synergy is key to success.

All programmes are highly interactive, with the bulk of the time spent on experiential exercises, role plays, case studies, discussions and presentations. Each two-day module is followed by workplace assignments plus a follow-up with the trainer to review the  assignments and the 360 report, where used.
