A NEW KIND OF LEADERSHIP IS NEEDED FOR TODAY’S CHANGING AND COMPLEX WORLD

The 'hero' leader era has ended. Research tells us that people need 'people' as leaders; fully rounded, authentic, resilient, agile, emotionally connected people who lead with purpose and values. The traditional focus on growing skills and knowledge (horizontal development) is no longer adequate. Leaders must develop a highly sophisticated internal operating system or mindset (vertical development) to be able to deal with the pace of change and challenges. The Leadership Circle™ is a comprehensive system based on the Universal Model of Leadership. It is supported by research which proves a correlation between leadership effectiveness and business performance. It includes a full 360 leadership assessment. Individual and collective profiles are implemented depending on the organisational needs measuring two primary leadership domains - Creative Competencies and Reactive Tendencies.

“Effective, collective leadership is the single most important competitive and strategic advantage that cannot be copied.” Mark Fields, President of Ford Motors

"

A ‘WHOLE SYSTEM’ APPROACH

The Leadership System™ is a system of interlocking and reinforcing components that, taken together, accomplish more than any single- component solution could.

This is its power.

THE LEADERSHIP CIRCLE PROFILE TM A 360 assessment based on the Universal Model of Leadership

THE LEADERSHIP CIRCLE PROFILE TM

 The Leadership Circle Profile (LCP) is used to evaluate and explore the existing behaviours amongst leaders.  The profile is designed to investigate, understand and develop creative behaviours which have proven to directly result in improved business performance  The completed Profile provides a report including a graph allowing opportunities for deep insights on the creative leadership and reactive tendencies of the individual or team.  Accredited coaches guide the individual or team through a process to understanding the insights and uncover the potential for development.  The process shines a light on the invisible, unconscious beliefs and values which are driving reactive behaviours and how these behaviours might impact on others and their performance.  The Leadership Circle Collective Leadership Assessment TM provides a powerful insight into how collective leadership influences organisational culture.  These insights inform coaching programmes and the design of Leadership Development programmes to support improved performance.

TESTIMONAL

“I have known and work closely with Primeast now for over 13 years whilst undertaking a number of roles within Cape and latterly Altrad.

What I like about Primeast is that they “get it”. They listen to what we are trying to achieve as an organisation and then work with us in a partnership approach to designing and delivering a solution that works for us. The length of our relationship has led to there being a high degree of trust and understanding of the organisation that is simply invaluable. Working with Primeast has helped us reshape the organisation, develop our leadership and leadership styles, whilst ultimately enhancing the overall performance of our business.”

Steve Connolly, Altrad
