Leadership Development
We provide tailor-made leadership and management development training courses aimed at senior, middle and first line leaders and managers.
Leadership skills are more critical than ever in influencing the attainment of organisational goals. Stairway adopts a results-orientated approach to leadership development. We use a mixture of practical application and experiential learning to drive behavioural change and improve business performance.
The leadership programmes we design are bespoke to each organisation, strongly linked to its vision, strategy and values and include both behavioural and skills development.
We place great emphasis on individuals taking personal responsibility for their own development. The leadership development activities we design and deliver adopt a blended learning approach. This includes work-place assignments, 360 degree feedback, facilitated workshops, action learning groups, one to one coaching, webinairs, e-learning and the development and review of personal action plans.
Typically our Leadership Development Programmes encompass three aspects:
Leadership Intelligences Compass™
We often use the Leadership Intelligences Compass™ as a diagnostic framework and to help us develop leaders' skills, knowledge and behaviours. This is a model that helps identify leaders' development gaps which fall into the following four areas:
SQ - Spiritual Intelligence represents the areas of self awareness and self development.
EQ - Emotional Intelligence comprises the interpersonal qualities needed to build effective relationships.
PQ - Political Intelligence represents the skills, knowledge and behaviours required to influence and negotiate effectively with others.
BQ - Business Intelligence are the skills, knowledge and behaviours needed to be commercially aware and business focused.
Developing Resilience in the Workplace
We also work with leaders on developing resilience in the workplace to better manage ambiguity and change.
Service Leadership™
It is commonly acknowledged that the quality of leadership in a service organisation influences the service orientation of its people.
Stairway offer specially designed service leadership programmes aimed at increasing the customer orientation of leaders in service organisations. We use the principle of the service value chain (developed by Professor Schlesinger, Heskett and Sasser of Harvard Business School) to illustrate the pivotal role service leaders' play in creating value and growth for the organisation.
We work collaboratively with service leaders to design leadership interventions which enhance service leaders' skills, attitudes and behaviours.

Culture Change Programmes
We have extensive experience of designing and delivering culture change programmes that bring about improvements in business performance.Our approach typically begins with a diagnostic of where the culture of the organisation currently is and where this needs to be. In order to do this we use a culture audit that involves one to one interviews, focus groups, questionnaires and benchmarking.
