Organisational red flags

  • Lack of Vision and Direction

    When leaders struggle to provide a clear vision for the organization's future or fail to effectively communicate it, it can result in a lack of direction and confusion among employees.

  • Poor Decision-Making

    If leaders consistently make poor decisions or fail to make timely decisions, it can hinder the progress of the organization and negatively impact outcomes.

  • Low Employee Engagement and Morale

    Inadequate leadership can lead to disengaged employees and low morale. When leaders are unable to inspire and motivate their teams, it can result in decreased productivity, increased turnover, and a negative work environment.

  • Ineffective Communication

    Communication breakdowns or ineffective communication styles can hinder collaboration, teamwork, and overall organizational effectiveness. Leaders should be able to communicate clearly, listen actively, and foster open and honest communication throughout the organization.

  • Lack of Accountability

    Effective leaders take responsibility for their actions and hold themselves and others accountable for results. If there is a lack of accountability within the organization, it may indicate the need for better leaders who can establish a culture of responsibility and drive performance.

  • Limited Innovation and Adaptability

    Leaders play a crucial role in fostering a culture of innovation and adaptability. If the organization is resistant to change, fails to embrace new ideas, or struggles to adapt to market demands, it may be a sign that stronger leadership is needed.

  • High Turnover Rates

    If there is a pattern of high turnover among employees, especially in leadership positions, it can indicate that there are underlying issues with leadership effectiveness. Employees may leave due to poor management, lack of growth opportunities, or a toxic work environment.

  • Lack of Employee Development and Succession Planning

    Effective leaders invest in developing their employees and creating a pipeline of future leaders. If there is a lack of focus on employee development and a failure to plan for succession, it may be an indication of ineffective leadership.

  • Stagnant Growth or Declining Performance

    If the organization is experiencing stagnant growth or declining performance over an extended period, it may suggest that current leaders are not effectively driving strategic initiatives or making necessary changes to meet market demands.

  • Feedback and Complaints

    Consistent feedback or complaints from employees, customers, or stakeholders about leadership performance can highlight the need for better leaders. Pay attention to patterns and themes in the feedback received.

Workshops form the core of this phase, where we engage with your team through workshops, group discussions, activities, and exercises designed to foster better communication, collaboration, and conflict resolution. We develop an action plan, identify supports and resources, discuss strategies and help you implement them to maintain progress and face future challenges successfully.

    We also engage with the leadership team, creating a strategy for growth according to the insights and goals we received.
