Greg Pritchard, Managing DirectorThe decision to establish LEAD N EDGE stemmed from Pritchard’s recognition of the need for leadership development in an increasingly volatile, uncertain, and ambiguous business environment. Greg believes leaders DO NOT embrace the courage to make enough critical decisions without an experienced sounding board. Great leaders want someone to challenge their thinking so they can build the confidence to proceed.
LEAD N EDGE guides leaders to understand the risks and patterns in the problems that must be solved, and the collaborations needed.
LEAD N EDGE, a leadership development consulting services firm, engages leaders to develop their social + emotional intelligence and entrepreneurial skills.
LEAD N EDGE deploys practical experience in dealing with industry challenges. It helps leaders gain awareness, confidence, and capabilities to manage and engage their teams with more than thirty programs. The firm is careful not to make decisions for clients, but rather to assist them in making choices by coaching and training them. Frequently that involves aligning the purpose and action, while enriching options beyond what clients had originally planned.
“People aren’t effective because they have the right job expertise, but because they are self-aware and work well with others to achieve their goals,” says Pritchard.
LEAD N EDGE employs conversational intelligence (C-IQ) which brings tools, techniques and neuroscience to behavior in business and personal life. C-IQ is a point of difference, the product of decades of research through consulting and affirmed within the evolution of neuroscientific learning. It is social science with a true connection to people by listening to connect, building trust, managing change through active engagement, while asking questions for which there is no immediate answer.
Answers are uncovered through collaboration.
Processes are aligned with mission. People are engaged in planning for success.
The focus-based leadership experience and unique LEAD N EDGE program offerings are explicitly demonstrated in the case of a medical services provider with multiple challenges. They were expanding and changing their managerial profile and numerous changes had to be made. They wanted stronger relationships between business managers and employees, exit and succession arrangements to support leadership changes, and the delegation of authority and restructuring.
We do not succeed without others and yet achieving deep connection with others is a capability leaders seek to build
Restructuring also introduced additional leaders, providing direct team support so the business managers within the medical services could better plan and direct improvement strategies. LEAD N EDGE worked with them to develop relationships with their supervisors and staff so more people could be aligned with the work they enjoyed.
LEAD N EDGE has trained and coached clients and networks in countries across the APAC region. It also partners with other companies to bring practical experience to leadership and coaching challenges for clients. LEAD N EDGE has provided clients comprehensive coaching, facilitation, training, and consulting services by developing strategic relationships.
