Winning in the 21st Century

In a world where disruption and ambiguity are the new normal, an innovative kind of leadership is urgently needed for individuals, teams and organisations to thrive and excel. Successful 21st century leaders need both a strong ‘inner’ and ‘outer’ game of leadership.

The outer game of leadership focuses on management competencies and technical skill development. You can’t be a great leader without strong business acumen and technical competence. The inner game is more about what drives you as a leader, how you manage and motivate yourself and how you master your own awareness and presence.  It is hard to be a successful leader without strong self-awareness and self-management.

Traditionally, organisations have focused and invested heavily in the ‘outer’ game – and this is still critical. But to embrace modern challenges and opportunities, a strong inner game is increasingly essential.

To equip organisations to thrive, our clients most frequently ask us to work with them to:

  • Redefine what leadership means in the 21st century and embed this across organisations
  • Enable leadership teams to be agile, cohesive and effective through change and uncertainty
  • Create cultures that energise and empower people to deliver innovation
  • Build agility, resilience and wellbeing in the workforce
  • Equip them for continuous change by embedding change skills, purpose and psychological safety deep in their strategy, culture and leadership.
