Developing Transformational Leadership in Financial Services Companies

We know that good managers set clear objectives, monitor performance and achieve targets. The very best leaders do this and more - they inspire, challenge, and create meaning for the people who work with them. Their leadership is based on trust and respect, gained by acting in accordance with clear personal values. By doing so, transformational leaders consistently get more committed staff who produce better results and are willing to 'go the extra mile'.

SyCon - The Sporting Bodymind Group has developed transformational leadership programmes for several clients in the Financial Services sector to help build on existing management methods. We helped to develop specific skills that supported, inspired and challenged people to achieve outstanding performance. By providing 360 degree feedback after our workshop, we were able to provided specific information about the full range of each individual's leadership behaviours. Individual coaching then supported real change in the work-place.

Each individual developed communication skills to lead, rather than simply manage others. They learned how to increase their people's ability to develop innovative solutions and identify how their personal values impact on their work performance. They discovered how to create greater meaning and commitment amongst their people.
