Perhaps the most essential skill of a gifted leader is the ability to cultivate leadership competencies in others. No book is more helpful in this area than Developing Direct Reports – outstanding!
— Marshall Goldsmith Author or editor of 35 books including the NYT#1 bestselling Triggers and global bestsellers MOJO and What Got You Here Won’t Get You There.

Developing Direct Reports: Taking the guesswork out of leading leaders

For: Leaders, HR consultants and coaches

Purpose: To help leaders develop leaders.

Human behaviour is complex. Developing leadership in others takes more than knowing the theory and authorising the training budget. Bringing out the best in your people can be challenging and time consuming.

Written for leaders who lead leaders, this book addresses the 12 most common, globally recognised leadership derailers.

Packed with examples, insights and recommendations, and supported by a practical framework, this book shows you how to:

  • understand what’s really driving the dysfunctional behaviours you observe

  • become a catalyst for behaviour change that sticks

  • take the guesswork out of developing your direct reports.

It’s time to empower your leaders to get out of their own way; realise their potential; and deliver on individual, team and organisational goals.

With her co-authors—fellow leadership experts Corrinne Armour and Belinda Cohen—Anneli is on a mission to take the guesswork out of developing direct reports and this book shows you how.

‘Developing Direct Reports’ is also the topic of one of Anneli’s keynotes, and the basis of a training program that helps leaders develop leaders.

Leaders who ask: Building a Fearless Culture by telling less and asking more

When we tell people what to do, they may listen, but they are unlikely to commit to action and are even less likely to remember. When we ask great questions that lead to insight, there’s an emotional component triggered in the brain that leads to commitment and accountability. The leader who asks uses these strategies and more to connect deeply, lead fearlessly and achieve results that transform.

If you are leader who relates to one or more of these challenges, you need this book:

  • Having all the answers and needing to be in control feels like hard work

  • Staff engagement is patchy and not everyone is on board

  • Leadership bench-strength is lacking

  • Results are inconsistent, with people not following through on their commitments

  • Your team is performing well and yet you know more is possible

Leaders who ask leverage coaching capabilities and questioning techniques to create Fearless Cultures.

Do  women really need help to progress? - A practical look at 5 invisible forces that shape women in leadership

For: HR, L&D, Leaders

Purpose:  to positively impact the gender agenda in the workplace

This whitepaper explores the issue of gender equality in the working world by looking at the 5 invisible forces that shape women in leadership:

  1. The system is stuck: Bias, babies and boys’ clubs

  2. Social backlash and double-binds: Women are damned if they do and damned if they don’t

  3. Waiting for permission, perfection and a tap on the shoulder

  4. Women against women: The enemy within

  5. Men don’t feel the effects: How power blinds us

There are different ways in which women are marginalised, and what I like about your paper is that it brings to the forefront the humanness of the gender issues within the corporate arena. It is no one’s fault but everyone’s responsibility to do it better and to achieve this we have to understand the unconscious factors at play for effective mitigation.
