For Organisations
Courageous Conversations
What has courage and connection got to do with successful businesses? In our eyes, they are fundamental to the health and success of organisations today and critical to long-term growth, innovation and success.
For these elements to exist and thrive within an organisation, there must first be a culture of trust, and we’re not alone in thinking this.
In Stephen M.R. Covey and Doug R. Conant’s Harvard Business Review article on organisational trust (2016), they include how 66% of Fortune’s criteria for the “100 best companies to work for” is founded around trust, stating that ‘research shows that “trust between managers and employees is the primary defining characteristic of the very best workplaces.” These companies beat “the average annualized returns of the S&P 500 by a factor of three”.
Creating Safety
By creating an environment of safety to enable honest conversations, The Lamplight works closely with leaders and leadership teams to cast a light on the behaviours, skills and environments that are barriers and obstacles to success.
My approach
My approach focuses on really getting to know you and your teams, ensuring that we can quickly and effectively build a relationship in order to get the best from our work together.
It may be that our work spans all three areas above, or it may be that there is a short term need to focus on one in particular. We will work together to ascertain where it’s possible to gain quick wins, while also focusing on longer term growth and development.
My non-negotiables
That we work together to be open to exploring trust, curiosity, courage, humility, humour, vulnerability, being challenged, confidence, acknowledging our success, reviewing old stories and creating new ones.
My challenge to you
Is your business ready to stand in its own light?
