A leadership development program has more chance of success when development is driven from the top and aligned with the organisations business strategy. Organisations and businesses play a significant role in the leadership development of their employees.
Over the past few years COVID has challenged organisations and businesses, often working in periods that are volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous. We have also seen increases in people under pressure as organisations and businesses work towards ensuring that they continue to provide safe psychological workplaces because it is their legal responsibility. However, we have also seen the best in people, organisations and businesses. People have shown support and innovation, leading to creative ideas as we adapt to new ways in our ever changing environment. COVID-19 has highlighted how quickly our environment changes and the importance of psychological safety and mental health in the workplace. Even though leadership, psychological safety and mental health has been discussed, this shift in thinking can been challenging.
“We included Leadership Development into our programs because we understand that leadership, psychological safety and productivity are connected. We also know that when a leader has the right mindset and can create the right climate, they are providing a safe psychological space for their team. Research also advises that this has a strong positive effect. However, this requires leaders to be self-aware, consultative and supportive. Therefore, leadership is a practice that requires reflection and continued leadership development."

When a leader provides a team with a safe workplace, they are creating a culture and climate that enables creativity, collaboration and innovation without the fear of retribution, isolation and bullying. Ongoing leadership practice, is more than attending one training session. This program is purposely designed around the requirements of the individual and the organisation.

Assisting employees to develop their own unique career skills
Change is the one constant that will always be in our lives. Our work and personal lives, change and evolve.

No matter where your journey takes you, the fact remains that we are more productive and content, whatever stage we’re at, when we have control of our life.
Career development is focused on this lifelong journey. Daly & Ritchie’s counsellors work with our clients to assist them to gain an understanding of their journey. This process is focused solely on you. We assist people to:
