“We put 20 of our established shop
floor supervisors through the Leadership Development Programme,
not only did every single supervisor declare the programme the most
practical they had every attended, but the increase in efficiency
after 2 months was so dramatic from one of our Manufacturing Teams
that we had to check that the figures for time taken against time
allowed was correct! A 20% improvement on base times.
The course is designed to show managers at all levels how to maintain
compatible productive teams and it succeeds in every case, our plan
is to put every supervisor though this type of training as we believe
the return on investment is easily achieved within six months.
One of the biggest advantages of the course is its applicability
across all disciplines, such as Manufacturing, Purchasing, Finance,
Engineering, Servicing and Material Control, Supervisors from these
disciplines took the course together and applied the ethos in the
same manner, successfully in every case.
This is the most progressive, practical course I have ever encountered.”

Case Study
A client initiated a company-wide roll out of the Profound Leadership
Programme, which had a particular emphasis on ‘leading by
coaching’. This was offered to every people manager in the
client’s business. Research conducted by the client at the
end of the first year of the roll out, found the following:
• Participating managers had experienced
a 20% improvement in their coaching skills since attending
 the
programme.
• There was a 14% year on year
increase in the number of individuals who reported that their
manager
provided the coaching needed to improve performance.
• 81% felt that being coached
had helped them to feel more motivated about their work.
• 94% felt that being coached
had helped them to improve their skills.
• 84% felt that being coached
had helped them to feel more confident about certain areas of work.
• 63% felt that being coached
had helped them to take on more responsibilities.
• 81% felt that being coached
had led to more positive working relationships with their manager.
• 78% felt that as a result of
coaching they had improved their overall performance.
• 84% of managers reported that
they used coaching skills informally on a daily or weekly basis.
• 92% believed The Profound Leadership
Programme had helped them understand the impact of their
behaviour
on others.
• 74% said the programme had helped
them build constructive relationships with other managers.
• 78% said the programme had helped
them motivate direct reports to perform more effectively.
• 73% said the programme had helped

through
coaching.

coaching direct reports as an alternative to sending them on a
training
course.
• 68% of managers responded that
they had been able to delegate more to others.
The findings demonstrated the value added to the business by the
programme. The Profound Leadership Programme achieved a Return On
Investment in 8.3 months. The return on investment in year one =
137% of the cost of intervention. The programme had a significant
impact on the bottom line. Managers found that they had reduced
their reliance on external training. Staff opinion surveys demonstrated
increases in satisfaction, motivation, commitment and morale. The
report concluded that The Programme led to an increase in profits,
added value to the organisation and was a worthwhile investment.
