Leadership & people development
Leaders have a major effect on business outcomes: how they lead is important because strategy is executed through people.
We help you maximise return on your investment in your leaders. Our customised programs provide them with skills they can apply for immediate benefit and long-term gain.
We equip them to drive outstanding business results through exceptional leadership and people performance.
All Nous' L&PD services can be tailored to meet the requirements of senior executives, middle managers, front line supervisors, staff and graduates.
Leadership development
Every organisation’s context is unique. Nous takes the time to understand your organisation’s particular context and identify the immediate capabilities your leaders require to translate your strategy into measurable business outcomes.
Our leadership development programs are tailored to focus your leaders’ attention on the issues that directly affect your organisation’s bottom line. We challenge them to leverage their strengths and develop the ability to effectively engage the workforce and deliver productive solutions through their people.
Effective leadership begins with self-awareness. We use a range of diagnostic tools including a selection of customizable 360˚ feedback surveys; Human Synergistics’ Life Styles Inventory (LSI); Myers Briggs Type Indicator (Expanded Interpretive Report); and Gallup’s Strengths Finder. We provoke, support and engage leaders to drive positive changes in thinking and behaviour that ensure tangible business results and return on your investment.
We can make a real difference to your people’s daily productivity and ongoing business performance.
Change and transformation capability
Nous works with organisations to build their internal culture and transformation capability.
Effort, insight and expertise are essential to shift culture and successfully transform organisations to focus on strategy, productivity and business results in a way that aligns with your business ethos and values. We help to diagnose culture and design and support change agendas, including large scale training and transformation workshops.
Nous develops leadership strengths that focus on business strategy and engagement, and provides tools to understand organisational culture, which is the starting point for any cultural evolution.
We link behavioural change to performance measures to ensure change endures.
Management skills development
The daily activity of leaders underpins an organisation’s business performance and strategic direction.
This daily effort is where leaders learn the most about and develop their leadership style in the face of their business reality. Nous understands and supports this through the customised application of a 70:20:10 approach in our programs:
- 70% from on-the-job and real life experience - the most important aspect of any learning and development plan
- 20% from feedback and observing and working with role models
- 10% from formal training.
Nous works with clients to design and deliver a range of tailored 70:20:10 programs to develop the core managerial skills that enable leaders to measurably effect productivity. These include: performance management; engagement; communication; business improvement; problem solving and managing the process of change.
We strive to develop self-awareness using a range of diagnostic and feedback tools including 360˚ feedback questionnaires and expert debriefs; Human Synergistics’ Life Styles Inventory (LSI); Myers Briggs Type Indicator (Expanded Interpretive Report); and Gallop’s Strengths Finder. We tailor the design of our management skills programs, and the use of diagnostics within them, to address your organisation’s specific objectives and challenges.
Positive workplace climate
Issues such as employee engagement, commitment and safe work practices can have a major effect on productivity. Unless they are acknowledged and addressed such issues hold individuals, teams, business lines and organisations back from effectively delivering on strategy and realising their full potential.
Nous’ tailored positive workplace climate programs develop leaders’ skills and confidence in addressing these specific issues. We enable them to be more productive, effective and free to focus on what is really important: delivering measurable business results.
