Leadership Growth in the Flow of Work

The most effective leadership growth happens in the flow of work. Cadence partners with organisations (and individuals) to grow team leaders, senior advisers and managers - building capability, confidence and influence exactly where they need it.

We agree clear priorities, draw on assessments to sharpen focus, and support growth through short impactful training, mentoring, coaching and targeted sprints.

Growing Leaders

Office group discussion

Accidental Leaders to
Effective Leaders

Situation: A fast-growing project services company was full of newly promoted leaders who were struggling with the jump into management. Expectations were high, experience was low, and the pressure was showing.
___

Approach: We listened first - understanding what leaders found hardest and where senior managers saw the gaps. Everyone completed a leadership assessment, built a development plan, and worked through a blended programme of online workshops, face-to-face sessions, on-job practice and optional coaching.
___

Result: Those who leaned in grew quickly, with several promoted again. Senior managers gained visibility of unhelpful behaviours and wider contributors to turnover. The programme was refined after the first cohort, and more leaders showed clear, noticeable progress.

Relaxed team meeting

Sharper Conversations
Better Performance

Situation: A group of experienced leaders had become so stretched that performance conversations were being delayed or avoided. Small issues were growing, complaints were rising, and more cases were landing on HR’s desk for formal action.
___

Approach: We refreshed the basics with clear written guides and interactive material, supported by optional online refresher sessions. A focused one-day workshop introduced new concepts, tools and gave leaders time to practise difficult conversations. Each person left with a plan for their next conversation and the option of follow-up coaching.
___

Result: Issues were raised earlier and handled before they escalated. Regular 1:1s increased, leaders held firmer lines on behaviour, and HR saw more constructive engagement instead of late-stage problems.

Small Shift
Big Progress

Situation: An internal specialist came to me frustrated - nothing was landing, projects were stalling, and tension with their manager was growing. A few focused conversations helped uncover what was really blocking progress.
___

Approach: We pinpointed unhelpful habits, clarified what their manager actually needed, and found practical ways to work within tight constraints.
___

Result: A reset relationship, a major stalled project finally moving, a reframed piece of work delivered at no extra cost — and a calmer, more confident employee with momentum restored.
