Leadership Advisory
Leadership
How do you form and lead a high-trust, high-performance team that values people, defies the critics and thrives in the face of adversity?
Through our work together, you will strengthen the courage, authenticity and resilience required to lead at your best. We partner with successful individuals and teams across the private and social sectors. Our clients hold leadership roles, engage a broad range of stakeholders and navigate complex, high-stakes environments.
Purpose
Rousseau was founded in 2006 to advise clients with honesty, integrity and discretion, supporting them to achieve their critical objectives as leaders, individuals and organisations. Our work focuses on leadership, succession and career management. Recurring themes include aligning values, purpose and reputation, and building the courage, authenticity and resilience required to succeed in complex, high-stakes environments.
Sounding board discussions, coaching, peer reviews and in-depth assessments are the tools we draw on. By aiding greater understanding of personal brand and reputation, leadership styles can be refined to improve performance. Trust, total discretion, sensitivity and constructive directness form the core of Rousseau’s reputation.
Approach
Working one-to-one with clients, Shameem Sangha serves as a sounding board for critical thinking and decision-making. The purpose is to face challenges directly, discuss approaches to meet those challenges and critically assess how personal actions and reputation impact organisations and relationships that are critical to success.
Self-awareness can be enhanced through specific, confidential fact-finding. Rousseau can, if agreed, conduct Hogan Assessments and in-depth referencing to gain detailed data on how a client is perceived by others. Discussions to address points of feedback are informative and constructive. The complexities of individuals, cultures and leadership can be considered, in detail and in their wider context, in order to identify options for progression and development.
Conversations are confidential and handled with sensitivity, while being appropriately direct. Clients develop tools that lead to more courageous leadership and greater resilience.
