Challenge Workshop we firstly attended as a Senior Team, then subsequently followed similar workshops for all 200+ middle management leaders across our Plants in UK & US. The impact of this work was quick and profound on the operational & financial performance of our business, and the foundation firmly set for further rapid continuous improvement with a 3000+ workforce previously seen as ‘long-in-the-tooth’ and unable or unwilling to change. Many of the leaders involved have since seen their careers go from strength to strength based upon the personal learning & insights gained from Chris’s work. Based upon these radically different results, Chris went on to work successfully with other Divisions and Corporate functions of Rolls-Royce.

Last year having taken responsibility for David Brown Engineering, and facing very many cultural and performance issues, I needed to quickly instill strong Leadership and get my team of 400 believing in the business and its future. I had little time and probably one chance to do this, and needed to get my Directors leading with ambition and acting as a true team. I needed a customised approach and a guarantee of success – so immediately reached out for Chris’s help. Once again, he spent time to understand the business, it’s culture and issues and helped me think through the next steps, including the individual and collective needs of my team. Based upon this Chris has facilitated us through a tailored programme with the Leadership Challenge Workshop as the cornerstone. This process started last September after which time I have seen my Leadership team become liberated, discover their true roles and strengths and started realeasing the potential of my total workforce. Most importantly, productivity and Sales Output performance have both increased 20%+, profits are up, and we have many great people working on more fabulous improvements than ever before – we are releasing the potential of our great people, and they are regaining the great feeling working here!

There is no doubt in my mind that the pursuit of excellent leadership has been the single most successful thing I personally and the businesses I have worked for have been engaged in. Chris has been a mentor, partner and facilitator on this journey, and has a professional and customer oriented approach that ensures that he delivers top quality results. Anyone who has the opportunity to work with Chris will find it to the good fortune of themselves and their business."
