Leadership Development | Insights Transformational Leadership

We partner with organisations to develop self-aware leaders who are future-fit, agile in thinking and compassionate in approach. They are happy to lean into discomfort, and approach challenges and change with a motivational, collaborative and forward thinking attitude.

Leadership is the compass that navigates teams and organisations through often volatile, uncertain and complex landscapes; yet rarely do we equip leaders with the tools and techniques to forge the way ahead whilst taking everyone with them.

The absence of this investment can leave leaders and managers feeling ill-equipped, isolated and without direction on how to realise their own potential, let alone supporting others to find theirs.

At the heart of great leadership lies an innate desire to make a measurable difference to an organisation's performance, its bottom line and most importantly to ensure those they lead are effective, fulfilled and outperforming expectations. This desire must start with a philosophy of self-improvement and be personified in every conversation and demonstrated with every behaviour.

At Unify we enable leaders from across the globe to be the best they can be by focusing on emotional intelligence, self-awareness and accountability. This approach promotes a philosophy of ownership over the impact we have on others and embeds a curious mindset that appreciates and celebrates cognitive and behavioural diversity.

We work with leaders from all three sectors and industries and at every level of an organisation

Emerging leadership.

Rising talent and emerging leaders are at the heart of future-proofing an organisations growth/success. Developing the right beliefs, attitudes and behaviours before arriving in a managerial or leadership role helps establish growth mindsets and a learning culture of self-awareness. This can also contribute to better engagement and the retention of talent.

Management.

Managers are asked to balance both the logical application of management with the psychological aspect of leading others, yet they’ve typically been promoted because they are technically good at their role. The challenge is that leadership requires a different set of skills and a humbleness to see success through the efforts of those they lead.

Board and senior leadership.

This is the level where every organisation sets their company culture. This cascades across the business and becomes ‘the way we do things around here’ through actions and inactions. Developing accountability, self-awareness and emotional intelligence at board and senior leadership level accelerates organisational performance.

At the core of our leadership development approach lies the Insights Discovery model of behaviour and the Insights Discovery Transformational Leadership (IDTL) framework
