Unite your people, leadership, and teams behind a common purpose, and prepare the ground for new ideas to take root.
When organisations strive to deliver commercial and social value, their culture and purpose are critical in determining how their individuals and teams will generate value.
Bringing your people together around a shared purpose is the first step to shaping a fertile culture for change. When everyone knows where they’re heading, they get behind the vision.
Are your organisation’s leadership, teams and culture aligned so everyone shares a common purpose and aims for growth, success and improved performance?
Only then will your people be ready to embrace the challenges, complexities and opportunities of today’s uncertain world.
Who this is for
Organisations that align the leadership skills of their people, the mindsets of their teams and their culture generate clarity, sustainability and higher performance. This will help organisations who have:
- An unclear purpose and direction that leads to conflicting priorities
- Senior people who aren’t working together as a team and haven’t committed to a new direction
- Leaders who haven’t acknowledged necessary changes in their own behaviour
- A top-down leadership style prevents honest conversation about challenges
- A lack of coordination across businesses, functions or regions
- New leaders or investors struggling to increase the pace of change
Intensely experiential
All our tailored leadership programmes are intensely experiential, because learning that changes behaviour comes through ‘doing’ not ‘talking’ and experiencing challenging tasks that create an emotional impact first so people can see the impact on their performance. Examples below:
Building high performance teams
Building effective leadership under testing conditions to create high performing individuals and teams.
Dealing with challenges
One-to-one coaching combined with a leadership audit that helps individuals apply and embed their learning.
Leading change and building resilience
Developed for managers leading change within an organisation to provide a practical toolkit that supports the delivery of change & innovation.

Client success stories
The Leadership Trust clearly understood our business challenge. We needed a leadership development programme that could respond to our business reality – a complex environment. They grasped that, and they made it happen.
Knauf Insulation
Virginie Limbourg, HR Talent and Development Manager
Forging leadership to drive
change and champion new projects.
In 2015, Knauf Insulation was looking for a re-energised and refreshed sales approach to overcome challenges in a fast changing market. Essential to its success would be champions who could see the project through.
Knauf asked The Leadership Trust – their training partners for more than ten years – to put together a bespoke leadership development course to support their Effective Sales Force Excellence programme. Three years later, the course is still driving great leadership skills and high-performance behaviours.
