Leadership Lessons from Out of Africa

The Focused Executive

Seismic shifts in the global economy have led to significant changes in the leadership agenda. The pace of change is faster, expectations are higher, and there is a requirement to deliver increased levels of performance with fewer resources. Combined with the impact of technology, delivering performance in highly uncertain and fast-changing times is the new normal.

The Focused Executive is an important resource for CEOs and senior executives determined to perform at their very best.

Coaching Maturity in Organisations

The need for organisations to successfully navigate the emerging landscape of complexity, disruption and ambiguity has never been greater. As the vanguards of this change, leaders are expected to lead the charge into this new normal with agility and confidence. Organisations are constantly having to find new ways of working to keep pace. The way organisations utilise coaching is no exception and significant changes are needed to ensure that coaching is able to provide the support required for organisations to thrive. 

Stephenson Mansell Group (SMG) commissioned this research project to investigate how coaching can be used to address these emerging challenges, and tangibly shift performance, as well as to conceptualise what the future of coaching would need to look like for leaders and their organisations to thrive in this new world.
