Leadership Impact

It has never been harder to be a leader in business. And yet, we’ve never needed transformational leaders who can cultivate organizational adaptability and resilience as much as we do now.

Where we can help you

United Minds supports leaders to make organizational change happen when things are grey, messy and everything is urgent; to navigate through the next workplace evolution as it’s unfolding; and to determine and live up to strong leadership values in a world that doesn’t always reward them. Because when leaders get these things right, they translate strategy into action and deliver performance with impact.

Leadership Services

  • Defining your leadership behaviors and expectations

    Leveraging our high-performing leaders research, and our experience in organizational change, culture and development, we help leaders understand the behaviors that drive performance. We work with leaders to define what these expectations look like for them as individuals, and also for the organization as a whole.

     

     

     

  • Leader and manager development

    We develop leaders from the inside out. Focusing first on the leader as individual, we develop the mindset, skills and capabilities that are essential for delivering strategic outcomes and leading in a constantly changing world. Leadership is not one-size-fits-all, and neither is our work. From executives shaping long-term strategy to emerging leaders rising to the challenge, we create innovative and interactive experiences—virtual, in-person, or both—designed to drive immediate impact and long-term success at every level

     

     

  • Leadership team alignment, dynamics and effectiveness

    Team alignment is essential to deliver on purpose and strategy, and is always built on a foundation of trust. Our team of seasoned experts creates experiences for leadership teams that build connections, break down barriers and drive mutual commitment. The result is a cohesive team with an aligned vision, motivation and established the ways of working to enable effectiveness.

     

  • Executive and team coaching

    Our accredited coaches design 1:1 and team coaching programs that bring out the best in your leaders and help them navigate change. We often start with diagnostics that are designed to build self-awareness, allowing leaders to understand the leader they are and want to be. We also provide tailored coaching on specific leadership capabilities, in particular communications and authentic leadership.

  • Leadership transition

    Leadership changes represent critical junctures in any organization’s journey. We help newly-appointed executives and their teams with their 100-day transition plans designed to build trust and confidence with key stakeholders before, during and after the transition occurs.

Where we’ve done this work before

  • B2B Company

    Partnering with a UK-based B2B organization, we worked with a 40+ cohort of senior leaders and middle managers to improve core leadership skills. Delivered over 6-9 months through a blend of virtual and face-to-face workshops, we drove a 52% increase in the ability to understand leadership expectations, and an overall 82% behavior change of participants.

  • Global Pest Control Company

    We delivered our short Leading Change program to a senior talent pool at a global pest control and hygiene services provider. Delivered in virtual sessions over two months, our classroom learning and group coaching in leading teams and self through change led to improved understanding, confidence and readiness to step into leadership responsibilities.

  • Luxury Fashion Retailer

    While working with a luxury fashion retailer, we developed a leadership framework and set of behavioral expectations. As a result, the company has been able to better navigate the messiness of human reactions, build long-term resilience amongst their leaders and teams, and create safe spaces to share emotions, foster accountability and problem-solve as a community. More than just developing mindset, we’ve supported leaders to take positive actions that make the transformation a reality.

  • Roadside Recovery Organization

    We helped leaders at a roadside recovery organization prepare for the change mindset needed as the industry shifts to automation. Through a gamified, pop culture experience, we engaged leaders playfully and with impact. Through a single session, 95% of participants better recognized their role in guiding their teams.

     

“United Minds ran a fantastic course on leadership for the senior managers. Not only did it cover many different aspects of leadership, but it also provided practical tools and tips that I have incorporated into my approach to work. More importantly, it helped unlock the mindset that a leader needs; got me thinking about what kind of leader I want to be; helped me identify what stops me from leading and how to overcome that. The United Minds experts were all excellent – they challenged us to think deeper and always helped bring the various bits of learning back into a coherent whole.

What stood out for me was the space to reflect honestly. It helped me get clearer on how I show up as a leader, especially in a complex, demanding role. The program encouraged us to bring more of ourselves to leadership, and I particularly found the espresso sessions useful for kicking around ideas and challenging each other.

United Minds Client

Having recently participated in a leadership program led by United Minds, I found the team to be engaging, open and knowledgeable. The quality of the training materials was excellent, and the team used a combination of techniques to share insight and practical tools. It was clear that a huge amount of planning and thought had gone into the training, to ensure it connected with our company’s purpose and behaviors; and there was a focus on empowering every individual on the program to identify their authentic leadership style and develop skills and qualities designed to enable growth. As a result, the program helped leaders at different levels in the organization to identify development opportunities and adjust their mindset to both sharpen their personal focus and work more effectively as a team.

The United Minds team was a pleasure to work with. Within short timeframes and a taxing brief, they quickly turned around a unique and memorable experience for our roadside teams, all the while being professional, adaptable and refreshing to work with. I’d happily recommend them.

Head of Dedicated Services, Roadside Operations

The program United Minds ran with our leaders was exceptional. The level of engagement throughout was tangible; taking people outside of their comfort zone enabled the shift in behaviors we were looking for. Many of our leaders have grown and developed immeasurably. The impact on the individuals, the community and the business has been, and will continue to be, outstanding.
