Leaders play a challenging role in a highly dynamic and complex environment. A lot is resting on your ability to succeed.
You have the task of not only influencing your direct reports, but also your colleagues, customers and suppliers. You may need help getting the best from your team, engaging them and producing the required results and quality standards.
You may be balancing the task of achieving today’s numbers and objectives, whilst responding to change and looking towards the future. You may be dealing with restructuring, acquisitions or mergers. As a leader you need to use creative thinking to develop strategies that will take your organisation forward, differentiate you from the herd, reposition your client relationships and maximise profit and shareholder value. All of this requires a range of knowledge, expertise and commercial acumen, mixed with a high degree of interpersonal skills and emotional maturity. A pretty tall order at times!
At the same time you may be looking to your own future direction and how to develop your skills as a leader. Sometimes an objective ‘critical friend’ is needed to help gain the required perspective.

Orbit can help you and your team rise to this challenge with our leadership development training.
Recruiting a new leader externally has been estimated to cost 5X their starting salary taking into account recruitment fees, time for interviewing and selection, not to mention the cost and effort of onboarding, the induction process and ongoing support. It is tricky bringing in a person in a high-profile position in terms of achieving your business goals as well as finding someone who will gel with your culture. You also have the politics to manage with regard to the new person’s colleagues who would have liked their role for themselves, but were not chosen. Your other option is to ‘grow your own’ and ask leaders to ‘step up’.
The Orbit team have a strong track record in working with individuals and teams to help them to ‘step up’ and learn to operate at a more senior level. A bespoke Orbit stepping up programme will help you encourage your potential leaders to increase their gravitas, improve their ability to manage bigger projects and key accounts. We can also work closely with them to help them think more strategically and make better business decisions, and manage functions outside of their historical comfort zone.
What our clients are saying
“Current numbers show volume sales for Consumer Finance will be up by at least 20% by for the financial year. At the final celebration workshop the team quoted numerous examples of where the change facilitated by this programme has made a huge impact, i.e. examples of new accounts opened, struggling relationships revived and significant growth in accounts.”
“Gill has been acting as my coach for the past 6 months since my promotion to the CEO role. This step-up has happened at a time of significant change and challenge for the organisation. She has been instrumental in my development of a stronger and authentic ‘voice’ to better manage the diversity of my stakeholder community, be that internal, my Board or the broader, external market. Between our face-to-face sessions, Gill is always available to offer advice and support, and regularly sends over articles, models and insights to further my leadership and strategic development.”
“We wanted something tailored to really help those Senior Managers step up to that next level, as we are very keen to promote fantastic talent from within. Orbit took the time to understand Alpha, what we stand for, our core values and what drives us as a business. This has been absolutely key to tailoring the programme, and the great results we have seen.”
