Welcome to the Partnership website.
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. 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?

A Coaching Leader
Is this you? Collaborative in your style of leadership? Open and approachable? Setting high standards for yourself and the team? Holding people to account for their results whilst supporting them at the same time?

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.

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.

Lack of transparency and the subsequent fall out are potential derailers of any 360° activity, More here...
