"I came to see in my time at IBM that Culture isn't just one aspect of the game….. It is the game" Lou Gerstner

Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power. Lao Tzu

An empowered organisation is one in which individuals have the knowledge, skill, desire, and opportunity to personally succeed in a way that leads to collective organisational success.

Dr Stephen R Covey

Because management deals mostly with the status quo and leadership deals mostly with change, we have to become much more skilled at creating leaders. John P Kotter

There are many leaders, not just one. Leadership is distributed. It resides not solely in the individual at the top, but in every person at every level who, in one way or another, acts as a leader to a group of followers — wherever in the organization that person is, whether shop steward, team head, or CEO. Daniel Goleman, Primal Leadership: Realizing the Power of Emotional Intelligence.

Every human has four endowments - self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom... The power to choose, to respond, to change.

Dr Stephen R Covey

Leadership is the sum total of who you are. Leaders are developed not simply born. We can all develop ourselves to be able to guide others. Anyone who follows their internal compass can become an authentic leader. Bill George, True North: Discover Your Authentic Leadership

Authentically Towards Success

Build authentically successful, profitable businesses that have a positive social impact.

Businesses of all sizes need a clear sense of purpose to drive business success. Irrespective of whether you are deep in start-up, juggling the demands of small business, or running a large company, without clear purpose and every one within the business pulling in the same direction, valuable time, resources and ultimate business success can easily be lost. Utilising the latest academic research and real-world experience, we work with business owners to understand and set vision, purpose, values, objectives and strategies. We then collaborate to bring these essential elements into a sustainable business culture that has everyone moving in the same direction and empowers all team members to make consistent choices. As we know, the majority of strategic decisions are not made on weekend retreats. They are made in the heat of battle. Having these core business elements in place ensures you and your team understand the impact of a decision as it is made, not at some later date when the consequences are already set.

Business Strategy Map

Utilising a structured framework, we help start-ups, small businesses and well-established large businesses to review, revise and create these fundamental business elements and ensure all in the business are pulliong in the same direction.

At Authentically Towards Success, we welcome the opportunity to collaborate with you and to build a basis for sustained performance for your business.

Authentically Towards Success

We live in a world where it is far too easy and far too acceptable to compromise values, principles and ethics in the race to success. Whether in the pursuit of personal or professional goals, or in leading organisations, authenticity provides the opportunity to heighten self-awareness, become clear on vision and objectives and enhance the self determination required to hold steady in the face of opposition.

Authentically Towards Success exists to challenge, support and encourage individuals, leaders, teams and organisations to instill authenticity as a fundamental tenant of success. How we achieve is just as important as what we achieve!
