1. THE POSITIVE LEADERSHIP APPROACH
Times are tough for most businesses. Aggressive competition, new techniques, global
markets, demanding customers, disengaged employees, and a severe downturn in the
economy are putting unprecedented pressure on many companies who must rethink the
way they do business in order to survive and prosper.
We work with these companies. Our clients come to us because they are facing a defining
moment – a challenge or opportunity that forces them to rethink how they do business. We
help them to define a response to their challenges and emerge as a stronger and more
capable company.
We believe that the results currently achieved by any organisation are not delivered by
chance. And although influenced by factors outside its control (not the least of which is the
current economic crisis) they also have a great deal to do with factors within its control –
most notably the interaction between business strategy, leadership practices and
operational capability.
Positive Leadership works with its clients to:
 Translate strategy into action
 Conquer critical business opportunities and challenges
 Enhance competitive advantage
 Increase value delivered to stakeholders
 Identify new and future opportunities.
We do this with you by:
 Defining what good leadership looks like for your organisation
 Creating dialogue, common vision, and shared commitment to facilitate
achievement
 Orientating activity towards the bottom line (ie a deliberate ‘business’ focus)
 Disseminating leadership throughout the organisation
 Building teams of leaders and leaders of teams
 Providing mechanisms for individual, team and organisational development – that
specifically impart relevant knowledge that can be used immediately.

2. THE POSITIVE LEADERSHIP MAP
FOCUS* and VALUES are the two crucial ingredients for attaining RESULTS.
An organisation can have a great vision (focus), but if the requisite values are absent, it is unlikely to
achieve the expected results. Values define the means by which an organisation is led; without
them, vision-critical attributes like accountability, initiative, passion or the determination to get
things done may not be consistently delivered - the commitment and capability necessary for
strategic execution will be under-powered.
Likewise, the values might be present, but if the business is not going in the right direction or if a
team is not connected to an organisation’s direction, considerable valuable resource will be wasted
(being busy but not productive) or eroded (frustrated key talent departs). It is imperative therefore
that focus is provided and values are geared towards the execution of strategy, thereby enabling the
delivery of results.
