Ignite Development & Learning - Leadership & Management

Leadership & Management

Now, more than ever before, the world is looking for leadership. Globalisation and increasing scarcity of resources is shifting the balance of power. New technology is asking unforeseen questions, and becoming disruptive rather than supportive.

This dynamic and increasingly fragile state is making us re-evaluate how best to support organisational change and the role of leadership in that process. The concensus is that it is more important than ever to develop a leadership capacity that can meet the challenges of 21st century working and living.

With this context in mind, we provide nationally recognised and individually designed leadership & management programmes to support the emergence and development of leadership capacity.

Programmes range from single day or 1 - 2 hour workshops covering career management, soft skills and personal efectiveness topics; to 6-12 month programmes addressing key leadership capability objectives identified and agreed with the client.

Organisations that have used our tools and ways of working include: DuPont, BP, Astra Zeneca, Intel, NHS West Yorkshire Strategic Health Authority, York St John University, Business Link West Yorkshire, Worcester City Council, Museums Libaries and Archives Council, Agfa, Leeds University, Yorkshire and Humberside Assessment Ltd, Babcock Engineering, Whyte & Mackay, NCR, CCLRC, JohnsonDiversey, University of Derby, Morse, Nortel Networks, GMAC RFC, Premier Travel Inn, Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trust, Bradford Social Services, Serco and Fusion Insurance.

The Four Stages of Contribution by Novations

The Four Stages™ of Contribution model, based on research pioneered by former Harvard Business School professors Gene Dalton and Paul Thompson, makes clear what high performers actually do and the contribution they make. This model identifies the areas or “stages” where employees contribute and describes what high performance is in each stage - Contributing Dependently, Contributing Independently, Contributing Through Others, and Contributing Strategically.

Team Management

Leading a team can be simultaneously, a very rewarding and a very frustrating experience. Understanding how you prefer to interact with your team, provides insights into how you can be more effective and help others achieve their potential.

Contributing Through Others by Novations

Emerging leaders face a daunting challenge, moving from successful independent contributors to organisational leaders who contribute and influence through others. Two-thirds of all new leaders never successfully make the transition. Why do they fail?

Highly skilled and committed leaders and managers are more effective, improve performance and increase bottom line results. We offer individually customised and nationally accredited programmes for leaders and managers accredited and quality assured through the Institute of Leadership & Management.

Strength Deployment Inventory®

The Strength Deployment Inventory® is a learning resource that has been proved to be effective in building strong relationships worldwide for more than 25 years. It enables everyone to understand the reason why people do things rather than just observe and react to what is done.

Jung Type Indicator

The Jung Type Indicator (JTI) assesses a person's psychological type using the categories first proposed by the Swiss Psychologist C. G. Jung. This theory of human typology can be traced back at least to the work of the Greek physician Hippocrates.

BarOn EQ-i

BarOn and tested on over 500,000 individuals across the globe, the BarOn Emotional Quotient Inventory is designed to measure a number of specific areas related to emotional intelligence.

Managing and Working with Conflict

Conflict can be a positive and productive part of effective team working. Well managed conflict provides a creative edge that makes the difference. However, unmanaged conflict is destructive and affects performance and relationships. Through a better understanding of their team’s dynamics, leaders and team members can direct and manage the energy created by team working in a more effective and positive manner.
