Recipe for success

Below is a list of the key 'ingredients', which combine to make our leadership development interventions so successful:

  • We've been there, done it and got the t-shirt! Our insight from our previous experience at senior levels means we can mix executive coaching and mentoring to best meet the needs of clients.
  • We are able to demonstrate our credibility rapidly with senior managers- often the people most cynical of leadership development.
  • We don't dish out formulaic solutions but work with our clients to design and implement the most effective interventions for them.
  • We are challenging in our approach; one client compared working with Starr with "being asked to jump off a cliff".
  • A holistic approach to your organisational, environmental and team context
  • An 'inside out' and 'outside in' duality. We assess and develop a clients repertoire of leadership styles, whilst also helping them to understand and influence their organisational environment.
  • Our investment in our own continuous professional development (CPD). We spend about 15% of our time continuing to learn and expand our expertise and knowledge base so that we can bring the latest leadership thinking to our clients in a byte size, practical and 'just in time' way. This ensures our clients spend less time learning and more time leading.
