The heart of this type of support is a program that works at all three levels – strategy, team, and the individual, to achieve a lasting, dynamic improvement in corporate health. The program is customised to meet the needs of each team. To deliver improved performance it is both supportive and challenging.

The service is particularly effective at times of rapid change in a competitive environment, when the pressures on an executive team are greatest; when senior teams have changed, for example, due to M&A activity; when new individuals join the top team, e.g. through recruitment or promotion, or when a team has been together for some years and needs to be re-energised.  In certain circumstances, a service is offered to one individual in a team who faces particular challenges or issues in his/her career.

The best teams are made up of individuals who are aware of their gifts, skills and development needs; who are courageous and single-minded without being foolhardy and bloody minded; who can contribute to a debate but not dominate it. Those who can motivate others by their example and respect their colleagues, without being afraid of them. We work on understanding what it means to succeed and grow. When the leadership team is better able to energise the organisation and more skillfully engage  in a higher level of teamwork, the business gains from sustainable commercial success. Learn more.

“I cannot think of a better person to turn to as a mentor than David Fish. Anyone who has worked with him individually or in team development knows his intuition is razor sharp, his skills in group work superb, and his ability to see to the heart of the matter second to none.”
Gary Davies. Director, The Results Group Plc. International Consultants to boards of directors

“David helped with the integration of new business processes. In an external assessment of our part of the business by the European Regulatory Agency against the top six companies in the world we excelled by factors of ten. Much of this was due to David’s capacity to help myself and the team (at a very difficult time) perform at the very highest level. I have been responsible for establishing a highly cost effective off-shore operation based in eastern Europe which services the global needs of the GSK business. It has increased its capacity ten-fold whilst the headcount has only doubled.

“A personal result of my work with David is that my leadership ability is enhanced. A new-found confidence and skill in interpersonal relationships has been reflected within the company as a whole – in my dealings with my peers and very obviously those I lead. I am now able to do two jobs with less stress and much better overall results than I could have a year ago.

“David has helped mould the team into a cohesive group. With greater understanding and openness, a level of trust has developed that has made the most of the individual’s contribution and increased respect for the strengths and contributions of others. We have worked much more effectively with the GSK international business and all learnt much about effectively managing hierarchal relationships.

“We have retained all of the most able senor managers and have moved the business forward far more effectively than we ever thought possible.”
