Kielder is unique 

We’ve devised a development framework that is unique, created by Dr Kieran Lees our CEO, through years of doctoral research and proven results.

This enables us to equip your leaders with the skills, knowledge and capabilities that will accelerate their ability to lead with excellence in a world of perpetual change.

Self

We explore the “Self” in your leaders. Understanding their values, strengths and challenges is the foundation of effective leadership. Through “strength-based” leader psychometric profiling, through to understanding your Core Qualities and the pitfalls and allergies that come with them, to sessions on authenticity, mindfulness and resilience we help them develop greater self-awareness. Further topics such as managing stress and the power of communication ensure your leadership is grounded in clarity, confidence and purpose.

‘Know yourself’

Groups and Teams

Our second focus is on developing the knowledge to lead high performing groups. You’ll explore what the differences are between groups and teams, and how the interdependence of actual work requirements defines the leadership style and behaviours needed.  We’ll explain the detail behind team and group development,  cohesiveness, and identity, giving you the ability to accelerate or fix performance.  We’ll explore cross-cultural collaboration and how to avoid common pitfalls like groupthink. We place strong emphasis on creating purposeful, cohesive teams that function effectively across different environments.

Leadership

You’ll gain an understanding of authentic leadership, reflective practice and core concepts like emotional intelligence, decision making and negotiation. We dive deep into leadership theories, systems thinking and the practical skills to lead inclusively and inspire meaningful change in complex organisations.

Purpose

Without meaning, it’s very difficult to inspire performance excellence. 

Corporate Purpose is often difficult to align with Organisational Purpose, and even more challenging when trying to align the targets at individual levels with high-level purpose.  Add to that the issue for the individual leader or team member (where ‘purpose’ is actually ‘motivation’).

Also, what about the concept of ‘shared purpose’, and how this links to teamwork and outcomes? Do we really understand what this means?

We’ll examine the concepts and alignment of Purpose vertically and horizontally, and how this impacts on engagement and performance.

Kielder will work with you to ensure meaningful and tangible alignment of Purpose, making sure that your people and your organisation are connected in their collective ‘Why?’

Why choose us?

We have developed a holistic approach to developing leadership knowledge and leaders, based on Self, Teams, Leadership and Purpose.

Built on doctoral research – not just theory. We use proprietary, field-tested frameworks not found anywhere else.

We delve deep beyond buzzwords, developing authentic leadership and self-awareness where leaders learn to understand themselves, and inspire willing followers through Trust, Vision and Authenticity.

We use advanced psychologically-informed and evidence-based approach for leadership development.

We differentiate between “groups” and “teams” as they have different functions and properties, and need leading in different ways.  This is HUGELY important, and goes a long way to explaining why traditional leadership training approaches often have limited long-term impact. 

We offer bespoke full-spectrum support, from C-Suite to individual contributors, where programmes are aligned to organisational goals.
