Leadership
Being a business leader is tough – it can often be a very lonely place and the buck always stops with you. Ultimately, you are the one that your team looks to for support, guidance and direction, but where do you turn for help, and how do you reduce that dependency on you to ‘make things happen’. The Firestarter team is made up of high-quality, skilled professionals who understand the challenges, needs and goals of business leaders. Our approach really does help to release the pressure, with the senior grip, support and direction to drive progress.
Our leadership experience and expertise spans a broad range of areas that drive continual progress and achievement, including:
Coaching and mentoring
Whether your challenges are driven by internal pressures, a lack of resources or skills, or even external market forces, you can rest assured that you’re not alone. Business leaders everywhere are facing the same challenges every day. Over the years, we’ve learned what works and what doesn’t and generally know what ‘right’ needs to look like, enabling our senior team to provide a listening ear and the benefit of our leadership experience to provide advice, support and guidance on a one to one basis, helping you to make the best decisions for your business, your customers and your team.
Senior leadership support
In our experience, business leaders often have great ideas and plans for growth, but lack the resources and internal skills to deliver results. Our approach at Firestarter is to ‘get stuck in’ and plug in the necessary resources to make things happen. We’re experienced business leaders ourselves and provide the extra support, tools and horsepower to help you achieve your goals. Our team of experienced professionals will perform leadership roles on your behalf, delivering tried and tested methodologies that deliver results and help to shape your organisation of the future.
Business strategy
Strategy planning can often be an abstract and ‘difficult to get down to’ task, especially whilst trying to maintain an increasingly intense and high pressured leadership role. But, an effective, practical and actionable business strategy is essential for any business to thrive. From developing a clear vision and strategic intent to working out you planning horizons, agreeing your product and market propositions, understanding your numbers and developing a manageable set of ‘vital few’ actions that your team can engage with, the Firestarter team will guide you towards a business strategy that will drive progress and growth.
