Develop leaders with the mindset to create lasting impact
Give your leaders practical mindset tools to strengthen how they think, lead themselves and positively influence the people and performance around them.
The way your leaders think shapes the way they lead
Leadership starts with the individual. The way a leader thinks influences how they respond to challenges, make decisions, communicate with others and show up for the people around them.
The Winning Edge gives leaders practical tools and strategies to understand and strengthen the thinking habits behind their behaviour and results. They develop greater self-awareness, personal responsibility, clarity of purpose and a positive self-image, learning how to apply these principles to the real leadership challenges they face.
As organisations introduce new strategies, technologies and ways of working, leaders play a critical role in how their people respond. By strengthening their own mindset, they become better equipped to embrace change, challenge established thinking and encourage greater ownership and adaptability within their teams.
The mindset behind effective leadership
Leadership effectiveness is shaped by more than knowledge and experience. How leaders think influences the decisions they make, the example they set and the environment they create for others.
The Winning Edge begins with the Foundations of Thinking, helping leaders understand how their mindset influences their actions and results. Building on this foundation, the Five Fundamental Pillars of Success and Excellence develop the attitudes, purpose, responsibility, understanding of others and self-image that support more confident, intentional and effective leadership.
The way you think shapes the way you lead.
Understanding how thinking influences leadership behaviour, decisions and results.
Leaders set the tone through their everyday actions. Greater self-awareness helps them recognise how their thinking influences their decisions, their behaviour and the people they lead.
A leader recognising how their assumptions about a colleague are influencing the way they approach a performance conversation.
A stronger mindset creates stronger leadership
Openreach wanted to move beyond traditional skills-based leadership development and create a deeper shift in how its senior leaders thought, led and collaborated. The Winning Edge was delivered to 60 senior leaders across CTIO and Openreach IT.
This programme makes you think differently. It challenges how you lead, how you show up, and helps you get out of your own way.
Build stronger foundations for leadership
We work closely with you to tailor your Winning Edge Experience around your organisation, your leadership priorities and the challenges your leaders are facing.
At the heart of The Winning Edge is a practical toolkit built around the Foundations of Thinking and the Five Fundamental Pillars of Success and Excellence. Together, these provide a framework that leaders can understand, remember and return to, helping them recognise the connection between their mindset, their choices and the results they achieve.
Rather than introducing a collection of disconnected leadership techniques, The Winning Edge provides a common foundation that leaders can continue applying in their everyday roles, drawing on the principles as they navigate new challenges, responsibilities and opportunities.
The Line Managers within our business are committed to keeping the key statements and thoughts alive by using the Winning Edge language and tools in their interactions with their colleagues.
In turn we have seen a change in not only how our colleagues deal with constant change and challenges, but also how they approach their business objectives.
The way you think shapes the way you lead. And the way you lead shapes the experience and performance of those around you.
What changes when leaders think differently
Leadership development is personal, and every leader brings different strengths, experiences and areas they want to develop. The Winning Edge provides an opportunity to build on those foundations, with three areas of development that can make a meaningful difference.
Greater clarity and confidence
Develop greater awareness of the thinking that influences how leaders respond to uncertainty, helping them challenge limiting assumptions, embrace new opportunities and approach unfamiliar situations with greater confidence.
Greater ownership
By developing a stronger sense of personal accountability, leaders become more proactive in addressing challenges, taking initiative and following through on their commitments, while encouraging the same approach within their teams.
Greater impact on others
Recognise how their thinking, behaviours and responses influence others, helping leaders encourage greater openness, adaptability and a willingness to contribute within their teams.
