Introduction

Companies often face a critical question: how can we work better? Small tweaks no longer cut it; sometimes, we need a full revamp to remain competitive. Improving how we work isn’t just about new technology or better processes. The style of leadership you choose, whether permanent, interim, or fractional, significantly impacts your transformation projects. From my own experience, some key principles stand out for targeted leadership that can turn things around.

Identifying the Issues: A Client-Centric Approach

We must first identify and understand our client’s challenges to enhance their organisational performance. These challenges might involve tackling problems like supply chain inefficiencies or improving aspects of the user experience. Leaders should adopt a problem-solving approach to identify and address these issues effectively. Regular reviews are essential as old solutions may not always suit new challenges. What’s more, consistently considering client feedback can be pivotal in staying ahead in an industry rather than falling behind.
