Leadership Development - Helping Managers to Become Leaders
"A great manager does things right, a great leader does the right things." - Peter Druker
A subtle but important difference.
Many people rise to manager level by being a specialist in a particular area or subject matter. It makes sense to have experienced and knowledgeable people in these positions. The irony is that the same specialism that has brought success to this point will now STOP that person’s career!
Leaders by necessity have to become generalists - we call it the “T” theory. Either you are a mile deep and inch wide (Managers) or you are an inch deep but a mile wide (Leaders). The really great leader provides clarity by working with teams of experts.
The sacrifice for leadership is your specialism. I have seen so many people fail at this because they can’t let go of the ego associated with knowing all the answers. To be a brilliant leader you need to have more questions than answers. This then leads to aligned clarity.
The Seachange Now Leadership and HIPO programmes are highly impactful. Most participants share that the experience is enlightening and allows them to build the right mindset and skillset to create huge success.

A typical HIPO (High Potential) or Leadership Programme is built in modules to include;

- Career planning and ambition - your ladder to success
- Drive for results - achieving macro goals
- Resilient Leadership and Strategic focus - staying clear under pressure
- Build your personal brand - highlighting your skillset and mindset to stakeholders
- Winning through people - the psychology of inspiration and connection
Participants connect with each other in learning pods and also meet as a group for each of the above sessions. This is further supported by 1:1 coaching to allow the individual needs of the leader to be addressed.
Our bespoke leadership programmes are designed to interweave with your vision and values, so that your top leaders are living examples of great leadership behaviours and practices.

"Just a quick note of thanks for the course last week. It was an excellent course and having seen a few from different companies over the years, your course was the best one by some distance. There was plenty to use both in work and in everyday life, so thanks again and I look forward to getting stuck into your book" - Commercial Manger, SISK Construction
