Revolutionary Breakthrough

Verax International Ltd has announced Leading For Results, an exceptional new product that analyses what a leader does and what they achieve and diagnoses the causal links between them.

The link between the two has been elusive - until now.

Now that link has been made concrete, tangible and accessible to anyone in a leadership position.

Leading For Results is launched on June 23rd at the Heritage Motor Museum, Gaydon, Warwickshire.

Linked to other Verax International Ltd diagnostics like Organisational Transitions (OTI), which spells out what the organisation needs to do to achieve its strategic objectives, Leading For Results highlights and targets precisely what the leader needs to do to achieve the organisation’s strategy and stakeholders’ needs.

Leading For Results is a revolutionary approach to analysing leadership effectiveness.

Although increasing in popularity over the last 25 years, leadership 360 measures have been purely descriptive. Either based on competency frameworks or some leadership theory they have only described or measured what a manager does. Links to performance have been assumed, hoped for, or guessed at.

The research behind Leading For Results identified what high performing leaders do compared with average performers, the kind of results they achieved and how one produced the other. Failed or failing leaders have been the subject of other research.

Keith Bedingham, Director of Verax International Ltd says: Recent leadership theories have tended to emphasise a single element of leadership e.g. charisma or transformation. What we have found was that high performers do a number of very specific things very well and as a result achieve spectacular results.

Roy Johnson of Coaching Solutions says: This new approach overcomes the problem (in leadership 360s) of lack of direct correlation to results.

Celia Nicholson of Nicholson Consulting comments: This is a unique product. This is something to shout about. Most organisations struggle to find the direct links between individual and organisational performance, let alone measure it. To that end, Leading For Results meets that precise need.

All the practices that our research identified can be learned, says Keith Bedingham. Because they all potentially impact the bottom line, customer satisfaction, staff engagement, etc, they make a big difference to how leaders - and the organisation - perform.
