Working with the Board

Mastering leadership for strategic impact

Today’s business environment needs leaders who possess the ability not only to achieve results and to meet growth targets but also to lead by example and inspire those around them towards an engaging vision of the future.

In a boardroom of people who have excelled through their individual performance and reached the top of their careers, the challenge is encouraging individuals to operate as one unit which is greater than the sum of its parts.

Once the team has reached a point where they understand their roles and what they contribute to the board, as well as what others contribute, something ‘clicks’ into place. Ideas are generated, decisions are made collaboratively instead of argumentatively, and when someone critiques an idea it is seen as healthy and welcomed as opposed to threatening. The click point is where the team has flexed and grown together to an extent where everyone is to some extent aligned with the others and are in pursuit of the same goals.

 

How we can help your Board

Video case study: Leadership

People Business and Vaultex have worked in partnership since 2019 to achieve great results. Our collaboration has included three distinct but interconnected programmes:

  1. Leaders for Change
  2. A Culture for Optimism
  3. Leadership Coaching. 

Team dynamics

When teams work well together, they make decisions and drive results with pace and energy.

We facilitate re-setting of team norms and ways of working that improve the quality of collaboration and communication.

Coaching

Tailored support, helping leaders to make the shift from head of function to Board Director; providing a safe space for individual leaders to reflect on where they are most competent and how to navigate pressing or longer-term challenges.

Board effectiveness

We design and execute board evaluations to gauge board effectiveness.

This helps to identify areas of improvement and helps our clients to develop action plans based on findings.

What our clients say about us

NHS Property Services

“It was a fantastic session – I felt the hosts really engaged us and allowed the session to flow as input was given from attendees. The content was very engaging, and I felt like the hosts spoke from experience which is always so valuable in these sessions. The content itself was engaging, the conversations that started up because of it were really insightful and although quite an intense session, I didn’t lose interest. It felt like it went by quickly and I learnt a lot that can be applied in real life – the hosts had a big part to play in that. Really glad I attended this.”
