LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
Helping you step up
If you or your managers are struggling to focus and make sense of your environment read on…
How are you performing?
Athletes moving from national competition into the international arena often mention the “step up” in standards. There is an increased speed and intensity that leaves some temporarily shell shocked as they come to terms with the reality of their new and more hostile environment. This can bring a renewed vigour and focus to their training as they know that if they don’t improve significantly in a number of areas they will never make the jump
A similar “jolt” greets people new to senior leadership and executive roles. They too are taken by surprise not only at the speed and intensity of their new lives but also at the volume of work and activity on their plates. If they continue to operate as they did they will remain in the “weeds” bailing their team out and in a constant state of overwhelm and stress. Those who adapt to and thrive in their new environment learn how to work in a different way.

Developing clear approaches to the complex issues
I’m Dara Lawlor. I’ve worked as a management consultant for nearly 20 years. I’m a trained executive coach and help senior managers and executives transition into and perform in very challenging environments. I also train and support blue chip business development teams to improve their performance across the entire commercial cycle in order to increase their win rates. As a keen sportsman I get a kick out of performing as well as I can, whatever the circumstances. I provide my clients with the environment and tools that helps them find their form. My vision for them is that they win by taking responsibility for their own success.
THE APPROACH
When I work with leaders who want to step up and make the jump I focus on the following four areas:
Team
Your success depends on your team’s performance and stability. Do they have the skills and desire to support you?
Boss
Your boss is the most important and influential person in your career. Do you two get along? Are you clear on where you stand?
Peers
Your effectiveness as a leader will be determined by the strength of your networks and how you look after the concerns of the people in them.
Self
Your ability to step up depends on the routines you shape to refresh and recharge, as well as tapping into a good support network.
