Leadership Development Programme “Your first and foremost job as a leader is to take charge of your own energy and then to help orchestrate the energy of those around you" (Peter F Drucker, Management Consultant) “The impact you have had (in your ever-subtle way) on my personal and professional development has been immense.” Executive Coaching Executive Coaching Programme “Change your attitude, but remain natural…..” “Liberate yourself by examining and analysing.....” (The Mind Training Slogans of Atisha - ancient Buddhist text) A 6 – 9 month coaching programme for senior executives seeking to raise their game and achieve high performance. 360 degree feedback and psychometric work can be incorporated into this programme if it is appropriate. Brief Coaching Programme “Don’t be so predictable” (The Mind Training Slogans of Atisha - ancient Buddhist text) A short 3 – 6 month programme designed to begin the process of personal insight and self development, for those at an intermediate phase of their executive career. Participants will develop their self awareness in order to develop a wider range of behavioural options. This programme is also suitable for those transitioning into a new role, or exploring next career moves. Tailored Programmes We can tailor programmes in response to specific needs, for example, as part of team or leadership development programmes. Team development and coaching “Endless drama in a group clouds consciousness. Too much noise overwhelms the senses. Continual input obscures genuine insight….When group members have time to reflect, they can see more clearly what is essential in themselves and others. (John Heider, The Tao of Leadership) Grand Shearman have worked extensively in team development for the last 18years. In that time the importance of teams to organisational performance has become ever higher. At the same time, many teams have become global and/or virtual, with constantly changing membership. Pressures to deliver results quickly have intensified. We have found that short, targeted interventions over a period of time recognise the reality of the team context. These include: On-site input within the team’s routine meeting structures Typical objectives include: How to sustain a high performing team Two myths about leaders: All progress comes from the actions of enlightened leaders Both are comforting because they absolve us of responsibility. All progress actually comes from the messy, impudent and relentless pushback of system members. Effective change in organisations needs an approach that takes the whole system into account, all its constituent parts. We use “Large Group Intervention” methodologies, which involve a representative cross-section of the system, or the whole system. The group works on change issues, anywhere from forty to four hundred people in the same room for a period of time, typically one to two days. These methods are supplemented by more traditional approaches including organisational research, facilitation, workshops, team and individual development. Typical contexts include: Assessment Services “Don’t bring things to a painful point” (The Mind Training Slogans of Atisha – ancient Buddhist text) Grand Shearman are independent specialists in individual and group psychometric assessment. Our many years of experience have taught us that assessment is not a simple, mechanical process. Rather, it is a complex evaluation that requires a collaborative and respectful exploration with the participant. Keeping this philosophy in mind, we offer: a comprehensive suite of one day evaluation programmes for selection, development, and career review; a tailored service to develop the most appropriate form of assessment for your needs; design, development and implementation of assessment and development centres.
