Leadership Consulting – Core Consulting

Overview

Leadership consulting helps organizations identify, build & risk proof their leadership talent to succeed in complex business environments. A Leadership Advisory arm that works with organizations to identify the leadership risks and help structure sustainable strategies to hedge the risks, going forward.

Our services help them identify and nurture future leadership talent and ensure business continuity, by fueling the leadership pipeline.
We help leaders individually and in teams, to develop their potential and ensure that their collective contribution exceeds their individual effort.
Leadership solutions, led by consultants with cross industry experience, help organizations align leadership and talent with their strategy.

Why Leadership Consulting

We believe that to identify and develop individual stars and leadership talent is no longer enough for goal achievement. It has become imperative to identify the organization’s strategic demands more precisely, to develop and retain effective teams, so that the missing capabilities are supplemented.
Our services are structured to provide the necessary impact at the organizational, team and the individual level in sync with the business requirement.
Drawing insights from analysis of leadership implications from investee startups to mid-cap organizations, we understand that leadership ‘capability & risk’ pockets can range from being scattered across the organization to key individuals or a combination.
The interventions help diagnose such gaps by using our expertise to converge context, maturity, environmental factors and organizational strategy to reaffirm these ‘capability & risk’ pockets and their impact on key business metrics.
Solutions are specifically designed to have an organizational, team or an individual level impact.

Organization Optimization

We collaborate and help organizations define their leadership requirements more clearly, taking cognizance of the important business implications and create a compelling model that captures what great leadership looks like for the organization. By integrating your input with our thinking, we help draft Leadership strategy, audit and developmental solutions that is both practical and future focused and, most importantly, right for organizations in this VUCA environment.

Enhancing Top Teams

Complete alignment around business strategy of the executive team is perhaps the most valuable asset not on the balance sheet of the organizations. The highest value work of a senior “team” involves making progress on the vital few challenges of enterprise that cut across the businesses and functions. We drive the alignment interventions for the organizations to have the required synergies. We also work with clients to help build top team performance that has a direct impact on business results and is sustainable over time.

Individual Optimization

We help leaders in “self-catalyzation process” through our behavioral interventions targeted at bringing the blind spots on the table. And providing the leaders enough data points to effectively structure their self-realization and developmental journeys. These behavioral interventions then closely converge with the business requirements for improvement in the primary and secondary business metrics. These behavioral interventions are integrated with our coaching services to develop and enhance executive’s effectiveness and for the leader to have already sounding board to take stock of his developmental journey.

“The intervention provided us multiple lenses to understand our managerial talent. The approach mapped our business realities and future strategy.”

– A Global Business Leader of a Health Insurance Firm starting out in India

“Leadership development in a matrix organization is a challenge. Given our traditional upbringing in profession (for the current generation at senior level), it needs a great degree of maturity and creative handling to add value in senior echelons. Push to delegate often generates insecurities without realizing that all managerial roles are aimed at eventual self-destruction.”

India Head – Global Firm in Manufacturing of Heavy Machinery

“We used the help to address these two aspects in senior most cadres. The Intervention provided was highly valuable in first addressing the Self of each participant and then to focus them on the advantages, bordering to almost a compulsion, if one wanted to succeed in a company structured in a matrix, having a global foot print and a cross cultural environment.”
