Executive Development
DIRECTOR GENERAL AND CORPORATE EXECUTIVE
We work with CEO’s and their executive teams to review and refine their way of working to lead cultural transformation and performance outcomes.
Leadership development is often treated as an individual activity, developing one leader at a time. At The Leadership Imperative we focus on collective leadership development, we are changing the face of the public sector, one leadership team at a time. The benefits of collective leadership development are;
-
Develop a shared understanding;
-
Build agreement and accountability;
-
Create a common language;
-
Bring the values to life;
-
Focus on what’s important;
-
Increase collaboration and goodwill;
-
Improve performance and results;
-
Achieve stakeholder and community outcomes;
-
Shared leadership;
-
Role modelling from the top.
We customise executive development activities for the most senior team to capitalise on their collective strengths and bridge any gaps. We provide space for the top team, to do the work of leadership, together. Integrating learning and problem solving supports learning transfer and behavioural change. The end goal is for leadership teams to cascade business practices which improve organisational culture and performance.

-
Current state assessment – to establish a baseline and capture learning needs;
-
Diagnostic – a 180 or 360 assessment to increase insight and self awareness;
-
Team coaching – which considers both the ‘doing’ and ‘being’ work of leadership;
-
Individual coaching – one on one sessions to maximise potential;
-
Workshops – designed to achieve leadership goals;
-
Mentoring – paired mentoring relationships to share wisdom and provide support;
-
Stretch assignments – structured supports around difficult work placements;
