leadership in the context of strategy and culture

An old Japanese proverb provides us with a critical reminder: “Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare.”

So many leadership programs we see are off-the-shelf products formed to develop a generic set of competencies regardless of the organisation’s strategy and cultural focus. At Mettle, we work within the strategic and cultural context to determine what type of leadership and team to develop and how we need to tailor that depending on the level of leadership. Our focus is linking strategy to culture and then developing skills to execute on that strategy and culture.

Our Mettle Leadership Gauge 360 demonstrates the resonance between culture and individual leadership. We then assist organisations to create coherent leadership pipelines that concentrate on attracting and retaining your talent.

One of the most practical ways we work with leadership is through our Focused Messaging methodology, which takes often very amorphous strategies and puts them into compelling and inspirational English that everyone in the organisation can understand.
