The Leadership Trust, one of the earliest organisations to conduct development of leadership skills for adults outside the military, uses experiential methodology. Set up in 1975 by an ex senior trainer in the Special Air Service, the principles used are all about using personal power rather than authoritative to get the very best followership. Their principles of leadership and style of development influence our approach to developing leadership skills.

Professor Stephen Covey author of the ‘7 Habits of highly effective people’ and now the 8^th habit  provides a great framework for personal effectiveness that works well in both personal and professional lives. His work is referenced within elements of some of our programmes.

John Adair was the world’s first Professor of Leadership and in 2009 was appointed Chair of Leadership Studies United Nations System Staff College in Turin. His ‘Action Centred Leadership’ provides a rich structure for leadership functions. Some of this content is weaved into the programmes where appropriate.

Patrick Lencioni, founder of The Table Group, author ‘Five Dysfunctions of a Team’ and ‘The Ideal Team Player’ which highlights the 3 virtues required. This often crops up within our programmes particularly when exploring team working.

Daniel Goleman’s work on emotional intelligence which helps form new insights into the architecture of the brain, has shown how emotional intelligence can be nurtured and strengthened in all of us. It underpins much of our work.

Daniel Pink’s work on motivation combined with David Rock’s SCARF model will often feature within our coaching based activities.

When it comes to influences upon our work, there are many. However, these are just some of the more notable influences which are skilfully blended together in an appropriate way to maximise learning and discovery.
