Leadership
Must-Haves
Tools leaders use when “helpful” isn’t enough anymore.
These are deeper, in‑depth leadership tools designed to solve recurring problems - not just one‑off moments.
Leaders use these when they want:
-
clearer expectations
-
stronger ownership
-
better conversations
-
consistent team behaviour
Each Must‑Have solves a specific leadership challenge.
Together, they form the foundations of aligned leadership.
The Name Tent Trust Builder
Every leader needs a go-to activity that works every time. If you’ve ever been asked to “run a quick icebreaker” and felt the room’s energy drop, this is for you. After facilitating thousands of leadership programs and team workshops over 20 years, I can tell you with absolute confidence - this one never fails. Within 30 minutes, people are laughing, connecting, and discovering things about each other they’ve never known before. Even in teams that have worked together for years. It’s my secret weapon for breaking down walls, opening trust, and setting the tone for meaningful collaboration. Now you can use it too.
Team Charter
Framework
Something leaders often get wrong about Team Charters. They try to co-create everything from scratch in the room. The strongest sessions happen when: * the leader brings a draft purpose and vision * the team refines behaviours and ways of working *decisions and expectations are clarified together Leadership still leads. The team still owns it. This is how the Team Charter Framework is designed to be used.
The Leadership Impact Diary
Get the pay rise you deserve. The Leadership Impact Diary is the 5-minute Friday habit senior leaders use to capture their achievements, audits, contributions and outcomes, ready for resumes, pay rises, board updates and LinkedIn refreshes. Most senior leaders go into their pay rise or year-end review having forgotten 80% of what they actually did. This template fixes it. 12 weeks of structured Friday capture, 7 ready-to-use AI prompts that turn your notes into a pay rise script, board update, resume bullets, interview answers and a one-page evidence sheet. PDF and Word versions both included.
Find Your 3 Differentiating Values
How do I find my three leadership values? Most senior leaders can't name their three differentiating values or understand the difference between core values and differentiating values. As Trust, honesty and integrity don't differentiate. This 30-minute exercise uses two sources, family and friends plus your own list of 10, to find the values that are actually yours.
