Welcome to the Partnership website. We hope you find it informative and interesting.
People often ask us what we mean when we describe ourselves as specialists in the technology of leadership. Technology is not just hardware and software. Technology is also the practical application of knowledge and the way things are done. For example, in organisations we have built our reputation through helping organisations and their people apply the principles of sound leadership to both what they do and how they do it. We focus our resources and services on that vital intersection where:
good planning + timely execution + skill + motivation = exceptional results.
Since 1987 we have been working in partnership with our clients to develop and implement solutions to their leadership challenges.
Your CEO confides in you that he has found his first 100 days difficult and lonely. What would you do? A Technology Project Manager is upset that her Performance Review was flawed and her manager didn't listen. What would you do?

the Technology of Leadership
The leader sets a direction, gives meaning to people's work, fosters common purpose, influences the culture. But how? Our experience tells us that he/she does it in different ways to be effective.
- In a particular role
- At a particular time
- In certain market conditions
- In an organisation which has a particular type of culture
What's the technology of your leadership? That mixture of behavioural style, competencies, heuristics, skills and behaviours that could improve your effectiveness or hold you back.

I'm not as capable... My belief in myself gets dented. It hits on a number of levels, maybe as deeply as tarnishing my image of who I really am. Then I have to go home and explain to my partner that maybe the big holiday is off this year... More here...
Many of our clients appreciate the benefits of a well designed and executed 360° process and a significant majority of our coaching assignments are initiated with a feedback exercise. We apply a strict rigor to all our work involving feedback. This applies to ensuring that clients understand and agree to the principles of how the gathering of feedback is to be done and how the outputs are to be communicated and used. Lack of transparency and the subsequent fall out are potential derailers of any 360° activity, More here...
