Leadership Development

If we accept that authentic leadership of the highest order is necessary for businesses to be successful in tough times, then the current economic climate presents us all with interesting dilemmas.  Do we invest in leadership or batten down the hatches?

There is now concrete evidence from the world's leading professors in this field, namely Daniel Goleman and Jim Collins, that high performing businesses possess outstanding leaders at all levels, not just in the boardroom.  So it makes sense to do all you can to develop your leaders, with the proviso that in these times flexibility is key.

SFL's Leadership Development interventions have delivered outstanding results for Lloyds Banking Group, Shop Direct Group, Home Delivery Network and Lloyds Pharmacy.  SFL have also delivered solid results in the public sector with 22 Fire & Rescue Services, and six Social Housing organisations.

The key to the success of our programmes (One-to-One Coaching, Management Due Diligence, Self-Awareness Analysis, Coaching and Mentoring, Successful Working Relationships), which are applicable to main boards (Executive Leadership Development), middle management (ILM 5 Award in Middle Management) or first-line managers (ILM 3 Award in First-Line Management), is the importance we place on emotional intelligence, social intelligence, coaching, humility and moral courage.  Our work is underpinned by the Full Range Leadership Model which measures and benchmarks the quality of transformational leadership and transactional management in your business.

SFL's Leadership Development interventions are delivered by coaches who are experienced pragmatic leaders.  They gain the respect and trust of your people with the professional backgrounds they have.  Ninety per-cent of our coaches are NLP qualified, allowing you the comfort of knowing your people are in safe hands.
