“The objective for any strategic leader is getting teams committed to the organisations and it’s goals. They have to be helped to find the path towards a new cultural vision.” – Hugh Brawley, Gower Handbook of Teamworking
The Transformational Leadership Programme
This is a leadership process of seven workshops across seven months with 1-1 mentoring support in-between each workshop. It is designed for senior leaders who are already successful and who wish to take the next step in personal and professional mastery. The success of the process has been evaluated and researched by a blue chip organisation and the original version was written up in the Gower Handbook of Teamworking (Brawley, Gower, 1997). The programme is an organisational tool and integrated with the business, departmental or team plan.
The programme is flexible and follows the needs of each individual group, adapting and changing to meet these needs as the business or circumstances dictate. All processes and techniques are applied directly to the challenges of the day so ensuring the time spent in workshops is of double value – learning personal skills whilst moving the organisation forward.
The programme incorporates practical techniques drawn from psychology, philosophy, the study of excellence, metaphysics and from organisational research on the excellent results of maximising talent and skill.

Rationale
The Transformational Leadership Programme was designed for senior leadership teams within Organisations. Leaders who are technically very competent and most have been senior leaders for several years. Due to changing cultural and new business demands from the market place it has become imperative that senior teams developed their ‘people’ skills and embraced new and different ways of approaching changing issues. As is the case with many senior leaders, they may have led their organisations through many change initiatives and implemented new processes and procedures, however they have had little personal support or time for their own personal development. Our research noted that the great majority of leaders ‘knew’ what they ‘should’ be doing when it came to team empowerment and other ‘softer’ skills, however the knowledge remained just that, knowledge. In the light of the fires they were fighting on a day to day basis the tendency was to revert to task based management, very hands on and reactive.
