Gain clarity. Prioritise solutions. Re-shape the environment. Feel the change.

Experience the inspiration, impact and tangible value your executive team creates when you intentionally engineer the right conditions with a clear, tailored roadmap produced in under 60 days.

Unlock the impact of your executives to accelerate the shifts you need to see in your business.

The Leadership Environment Assessment (LEA) process identifies the factors that work for – and against – the effectiveness and impact of your senior leaders, individually and collectively.

What you’ll get:

Heat Map

The simple process produces a Heat Map to clearly show which factors are supporting the impact of your leadership efforts individually and collectively – and which factors are getting in the way.

Action Map

To position your senior leadership team for success, the Heat Map is then used as a basis for co-designing an Action Plan that prioritises measures to unlock enablers and mitigate blockers over the next 12-24 months.

Together with the CEO, senior execs are crucial to set the right tone, pace and environment for success.

Their influence and impact peaks when they:

  • are aligned in their mission, values and operating principles
  • engage with trust, respect and care, and operate with high levels of psychological safety
  • seek diverse views and actively engage in healthy, constructive debates
  • are empowered and equipped to drive change and transformation, and
  • are passionate about developing, growing and stretching others

CEOs, Chairs and Executives who’ll find the LEA especially valuable are those who:

  • See senior leaders as the primary drivers of organisational and cultural transformation and performance
  • Are looking for insights into the enabling factors and barriers to senior leader impact
  • Aim to attract and retain high performing senior leaders over time in a competitive market
  • Are keen to address succession gaps and bolster and the leadership talent pipeline
  • Wish to see greater ROI and traction of their leadership investments
  • Are seeking to more strongly align leaders with the future vision and each other
  • Feel they need to augment in-house expertise to better support senior leader development

The LEA is a swift, collaborative approach to gain insight, prioritise focus areas and implement actions in an intentional and staged way. It thereby creates the right conditions for greater buy-in innovation, momentum and traction.

It assesses Leadership Environment Enablers in 4 zones.

  1. Contextual – Unique situational factors in the organisation that impact the ability of leaders to achieve their goals and desired outcomes.
  2. Systemic – Key systems that guide, reinforce and adjust the capabilities required for sustained organisational success.
  3. Team – Critical elements that facilitate the effective functioning of a leadership team as a cohesive, high-performing unit.
  4. Individual – Specific attributes and capabilities that each team member has that sets the team and organisation up for success.

After the LEA, we’ll discuss alternatives for your best ways forward. Perhaps:

  1. You’re all set for your own internal teams to implement and report progress quarterly.
  2. You’d like to have some retained help from us to accelerate plans and progress.
  3. You’d like to speak with expert think partners about possible solutions for your priority areas.
  4. You’d like to have accountability and alignment support to keep the moving parts on track.
  5. Other? Let’s discuss…

When the Heat and Action Maps are agreed, CEOs often value the opportunity to reflect on, explore and dive deeply into priority action areas.

On request, we bring relevant think partners to the table. These think partners are highly expert in their domains. As trusted advisors, they can be quickly brought up to speed on the specific context of your organisation and LEA results.

This cut-through means that CEOs can navigate salient issues quickly, explore practical solutions and find the best way forward – whether those actions are tackled internally or in addition to working with a think partner.
