Leadership Development

Together, we build a culture rooted in trust and driven by performance

In a world full of uncertainties and geopolitical challenges, companies need a culture based on both trust and performance. On the one hand, we would like to include all the benefits of a culture of trust, as well as the benefits of healthy entrepreneurship, innovation and mastery at all levels.

During our High Performance Expedition, we discover together where your organisation stands today. We look at the eight crucial factors by which you can measure the extent to which your company is a High Performance Organisation:

• Culture
• Leadership
• Customer focus
• Vision & strategy
• Innovation power
• Organisation & processes
• Strategic staff development
• Finance & results

After the initial evaluation, we determine together the priorities for the next 18 months. We focus on the areas where the most impact can be made, always in co-creation and with an eye for your unique context and ambitions.

From Sandwich Position to 'Midfield Player'

As a manager, you are constantly in the middle of a dynamic playing field. 'Above' you, your own managers, next to you, your fellow team leaders but also the various customers and stakeholders you serve and 'below' you the team you manage.

This role used to be described as the 'sandwich position', sandwiched between above and below. The sandwich view often leads to a feeling of only being able to react in the organisation's rat race. Surviving rather than steering, reactive rather than strategic.

We therefore speak of the 'midfield player'. The one who distributes the ball across the entire playing field. Someone who co-directs proactively. Someone who helps build a strong culture and high-trust environment from the heart of the organisation.

Themes in this expedition are:

• Properly identifying your own role and contribution
• Understanding stakeholder expectations
• Designing realistic communication and effective consultation structures
• Staying effective in the middle
• Building a high-trust organisation together

In times of change, effective leadership calls for vision, resilience, and strong connections.

We live in an era of turbulence. Globally, we speak of a VUCA society:

• Volatility - unpredictability
• Uncertainty - uncertainty at all levels
• Complexity - complicated systems and connections
• Ambiguity - what is truth?

At the same time, we experience this time as a wonderful challenge to get clear on what you stand for yourself right now. What is your personal vision? How do you balance work and private life and how do you lead in a meaningful way?

Another time when you can no longer navigate your way through the jungle around you with pretty stories. Pretty stories are no longer enough to navigate through the jungle around you. What matters now is strategic leadership that stands firm in integrity, clarity and authenticity.

That is why there is the CEO Expedition, a two-year leadership programme specially designed for CEOs and directors. The programme offers:

1. A permanent CEO tribe: for two years, you will be part of a small, carefully curated group of like- minded people. You meet physically four times a year to inspire, challenge and empower each other.
2. Individual coaching: during the expedition, you meet your personal coach between modules.
3. Personal customisation: your expedition is tailored to your unique learning and growth goals.
4. A strategic toolbox: you develop concrete tools and insights to future-proof your organisation.
5. Cleverly designed programme: we have designed the programme with your busy schedule in mind.
