How we work with you

At LeaderShape we believe in the potential for everyone to become the best leader they can be. To help you achieve your business’s vision, we take an approach that is entirely collaborative, we don’t work on you, we work alongside you to generate sustainable, measured, organisational performance improvement. We do this through the development of your people, so they see their leadership as something that is beyond their ego and in the interests of all the stakeholders of the business. Our approach focuses on the practical ‘how tos’ that enable you to …

Embed authentic, ethical behaviours into the DNA of the organisation
Build strong, collaborative relationships
Create a Performance Enhancing Culture

…we call this Transpersonal Leadership

We build from the base of our own practical experience as senior executives, connecting strategy with behaviours. Using our own suite of diagnostic and development tools, we work closely with you to design a solution that is absolutely fit for your purpose, incorporating the latest research evidence from neuroscience in learning and development. This approach has made us thought leaders in leadership, culture and performance.

Clients choose to work with us again and again because they know, like and trust us and enjoy working with us in a deep relationship. They appreciate that our first hand experience means that we can adapt and flex our approach to meet changing needs and value our practical and contextual approach, bringing real meaning, immediate applicability and long-term value to the development.

Leading Beyond the Ego: How to Become a Transpersonal Leader

TRANSPERSONAL LEADERS operate beyond their ego, continuing personal development and learning. They are radical, ethical and authentic while emotionally intelligent and caring. They create performance-enhancing and sustainable cultures.

This book (published by Routledge, March 2018) is a game-changer in how it provides a journey for leaders to develop into Transpersonal Leaders through managing both their ego and their emotions, by increasing their awareness and bringing their values to full consciousness.

An essential read for current and aspiring organisational leaders, HR professionals, executive coaches and mentors, Leading Beyond the Ego is a vital point of reference for anyone in a leadership position who wants to embrace the right kind of leadership for today and the future. Watch and listen to a recording of the book launch webinar describing the purpose and content of the book.

This cutting edge approach to leadership, which can also be used as a personal manual or core text for higher education programmes, has been acclaimed by business and leadership experts. You can see the reviews of those listed below at the Routledge website.
