Leaders must set the direction, direct, control… and at the same time involve, listen and support
With business contexts constantly changing, leaders need to be able to make decisions and act faster to meet market and business needs. At the same time, they are faced with increased levels of uncertainty internally and externally. Tackling this takes more than a good strategy and business sense. It takes continuous leadership development to stay on top.
Leadership challenges
- Navigating towards complex and fast moving targets while maintaining awareness of the bigger picture.
- Communicating and operating across the organisation globally and locally.
- Motivating employees and building purpose-driven, high performing teams.
- Balancing the need for getting things done while acting as an inspiring role model.
- Supporting ongoing investment of energy and money in leadership development during periods when there is little time for reflection and leaders often feel isolated.
Forget frantic acceleration. Mastering the clock of business is about choosing when to be fast and when to be slow. It is about self-awareness and leadership.

Approach
We are on a mission to make leadership conscious, competent and confident to tackle the challenges of tomorrow
At Mannaz we believe that successful leadership is leadership that creates results – both in terms of profit and in terms of perceived quality of leadership by the manager’s direct reports, colleagues and superiors. There is no standard, one size fits all recipe for good leadership. A good leader is authentic and is agile enough to adapt leadership styles to match the situation, the context and the people involved.
We enable leaders to be conscious of the context and their abilities, competent to skilfully chart a course forward and confident to lead their teams with the right purpose and direction.
