Leadership Consulting that fixes what generic training never will

Most leadership programmes produce binders, not behaviour change. We work inside your organisation for weeks or months, diagnosing the specific friction points between your senior team and the people who depend on them. Then we fix those points, one by one.

The gap between good intentions and real leadership

Organisations rarely lack ambition. They lack honest diagnosis. Here is what we typically find when we arrive, and what changes once we leave.

What we walk into

  • Senior team meetings that produce agreement but no accountability
  • Middle managers guessing what the strategy actually means for their teams
  • High performers leaving because feedback is vague or absent
  • Conflict avoided until it becomes a crisis

What we leave behind

  • Decision-making rhythms that stick without a consultant in the room
  • A shared language for priorities that reaches every level
  • Feedback habits built into weekly routines, not annual reviews
  • Difficult conversations happening early, before damage spreads

What we do

Four services. Each can run independently, or we combine them into a longer engagement shaped around your calendar and budget.

Executive diagnostic

A two-week deep dive into how your leadership team actually operates: how decisions get made, where information stalls, and which relationships carry hidden tension. We interview every member individually, observe at least two live meetings, and deliver a written report with ranked recommendations. Typical cost sits between £8,000 and £14,000 depending on team size.

Team alignment programme

A six-to-twelve-week programme for intact teams of five to fifteen people. We run structured working sessions every fortnight, each focused on a concrete outcome: a decision framework, a role-clarity map, or a conflict protocol. Between sessions, participants complete short assignments that build new habits rather than just awareness.

One-to-one coaching

For individual leaders facing a specific transition: a new role, a restructuring, a board appointment, or a performance concern raised by their own manager. Sessions run fortnightly for three to six months. We set measurable goals in the first meeting and review them at the midpoint and close.

Succession and pipeline design

We help you identify who is genuinely ready for senior responsibility, who needs twelve more months of targeted development, and who is in the wrong seat entirely. The output is a live succession map with development plans attached, not a static slide deck that gathers dust in a shared drive.

How an engagement unfolds

No two projects look identical, but this sequence holds for most of them.

1

Scoping conversation

A 45-minute call where we listen more than we talk. You describe what prompted the enquiry, who is involved, and what a good outcome looks like from your perspective. No charge, no obligation.

2

Proposal and agreement

Within five working days you receive a written proposal with scope, timeline, fees, and cancellation terms. We quote fixed fees wherever possible so there are no surprises on the invoice.

3

Fieldwork

Interviews, observations, facilitated sessions, or coaching meetings depending on the service. We work on-site when geography allows and by video when it does not. All notes and interim findings stay confidential to the agreed audience.

4

Delivery and handover

A final report or working document, a face-to-face debrief with the sponsor, and a 90-day follow-up call to check that changes have held. We want to leave you self-sufficient, not dependent on us.

What clients say when it is over

We could list percentages. Instead, here is one story that captures the pattern.

Client team after completing a leadership alignment programme

A Scottish fintech firm with 140 employees hired us after losing three senior engineers in four months. Exit interviews blamed "leadership," but nobody could say what that meant in practice.

We spent two weeks interviewing 22 people across the company. The core issue was not strategy or pay. It was that the CTO and the VP of Product had never agreed on how to prioritise technical debt against new features, and every team below them felt the tension daily.

Over eight weeks we facilitated a decision framework the two leaders built together, ran two joint sessions with their direct reports, and coached each leader individually. Attrition dropped to zero in the following two quarters.

"They did not tell us what to do. They made us see what we had been avoiding, and then helped us build something that actually worked." — CTO, Edinburgh-based fintech (name withheld at client request)

Questions we hear often

It depends on scope. An executive diagnostic for a five-person leadership team usually runs £8,000 to £12,000. A three-month team alignment programme ranges from £18,000 to £30,000. Individual coaching sits around £1,200 per month. We always quote a fixed fee before work begins.
Yes. About half our engagements are with organisations elsewhere in the UK. We travel for on-site work and run remote sessions by video when that suits the client better. We have also worked with UK-headquartered companies that have teams in Ireland, the Netherlands, and Germany.
Two things. First, the person who scopes the project is the same person who delivers it. You will never be sold by a partner and then handed off to a junior analyst. Second, we focus exclusively on leadership behaviour and team dynamics. We do not try to redesign your operating model or rebuild your tech stack.
That is how most relationships begin. The executive diagnostic is designed to be a standalone deliverable. If the findings suggest deeper work, we propose it. If not, you walk away with a useful report and no further obligation.
We agree measurable goals at the start: reduced attrition, faster decision cycles, improved 360 scores, or specific behavioural shifts observed by peers. At the 90-day follow-up we review those goals together. If something has not moved, we discuss why and what to do next.
