Our Mission
At Leaderskill Group our Mission is to bring people together in every walk of life in the pursuit of organisational goals that are ethical and sustainable. This translates to ‘Engagement’ – the organisation where everyone loves their work, cooperation is endemic, and performance is always high. We believe that a better world starts with feedback.
Our history
Now in our fourth decade of innovation, our aim has always been to maximise the contributions that people and their organisations make to each other through the use of facilitative Leadership, teamwork, communication skills and feedback.
Leaderskill has pioneered the use of Accelerated Learning in training and development, helped establish Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) in Australia, and incorporated Positive Psychology and Appreciative Inquiry (AI) into all our work. We have also developed a unique team facilitation approach based on 360 degree feedback.
This same intention led us to introduce Peter Farey’s Leader/Manager 360 degree feedback surveys (Upward Feedback®) to Australia in 1994 and begin direct processing on the Internet in 1999. This core 360 degree feedback program has been used internationally by our accredited consultants and clients in the private and public sectors.
Today
Today, Leaderskill brings together Australian and international experts in the support of our clients in their process of transformation and growth. We are active in public and private sectors in Australia and New Zealand, South Africa, Canada, India, Saudi Arabia, USA and UK.
In addition to our Leader/Manager 360 degree surveys, the extensive capabilities of our online survey system cater for a very wide range of custom surveys, including staff and climate surveys, stakeholder surveys, corporate governance, mystery shopping and call centres. The Entente Trust Survey uses a powerful graphical model to demonstrate how trust is perceived in your organisation.
“The Leader/Manager model is very, very good and has benefits well beyond the obvious purpose. Coachees really value its ‘face validity’, its power and ease of use in understanding the causes of the need for change, and in formulating meaningful action plans. The process explores the drivers of, and barriers to, performance at the individual, team and organisational level and provides the means to improve performance. It is a powerful, multi-dimensional tool!”
“What better way to look at one’s self than through the eyes of the people you rely upon to get the mission accomplished? The Program was so successful that we rolled it out to our entire Division, providing an opportunity for all staff to contribute, and for all supervisors and key people to benefit from the feedback in a way that enabled everyone to plan effective, targeted and structured improvement. We are using the information to build Individual Development Plans.”
“Leaderskill Group has assisted our strategic planning with their Mega Planning methodology for over seven years.
In the paper we presented, I estimated that Defence Consulting had saved between 5 and 8 million dollars – without counting the savings to our stakeholders, including government – just on the redevelopment of the historical Randwick Barracks site in Sydney.”
