Behaviour change for senior leaders

Functional excellence matters – until it gets stuck in silos. When senior leaders play it safe within their own patch, the business stalls: innovation slows, alignment frays and talent walks. High-impact leaders break out of their lanes, collaborate across boundaries and galvanise teams behind enterprise-wide outcomes. Because when leaders lead across functions, the whole business moves faster.

Organisations spend $366 billion a year on leadership training. Only 10% of executives think it works. The problem? Most programmes miss the real challenge: balancing today’s performance with tomorrow’s growth. High-impact leaders create clarity and consistency while protecting space for experimentation. They don’t trade off performance for progress – they create conditions where both thrive.

In successful organisations, decisions don’t get stuck. When employees are involved early and leaders act with clarity, execution accelerates. Yet in failed transformations, just 12% of employees feel they have a voice – leading to hesitation and lost momentum. Senior leaders who build alignment fast and avoid analysis paralysis create the conditions for high performance.

Burnout is booming. Most wellbeing initiatives miss the mark because they overlook one thing: leadership. Our leaders create the day-to-day clarity and psychological safety that enable high performance without the cost of exhaustion. It’s not either/or.

69% of transformations flop. While fingers point at strategy, the critical factor is a lack of belief. The most effective leaders don’t wait to be convinced – they lead the narrative. They adopt emerging tech, new ways of working and shifting market realities before others do – turning uncertainty into enterprise advantage.

Outdated leadership behaviours are a drag. Companies with stagnant or toxic cultures are 10x more likely to face high attrition and twice as likely to see performance decline. Strong leaders continuously evolve how they operate, ensuring systems, processes and mindsets remain agile enough to deliver value in a fast-changing world.

When strategy stays at the top, delivery falters. Effective leaders translate enterprise strategy into clear, motivating team goals, aligning daily work with organisational KPIs. This sharpens focus, drives accountability and creates momentum across the function. The result is smarter decisions, faster execution and measurable progress where it matters most.

Two-thirds of managers wish they didn’t have to lead. That’s a risk you can’t afford. Senior leaders shape the next generation by coaching, stretching and championing future leaders. That’s how you grow capability from within.

Leadership development has a credibility problem.

Despite billions a year in investment, confidence in leaders has dropped 30% over 25 years. Only 1 in 10 execs say it works. Meanwhile, the cost of weak leadership keeps stacking up:

Weak leadership at this level causes:

3–4% lower customer satisfaction

1.5% lower revenue growth

Up to 59% higher employee turnover

When leaders lack the tools to lead effectively, productivity suffers, change stalls and talent walks. That’s a cost most organisations can’t afford but one they keep paying.

It doesn’t have to be that way. Businesses using MindGym’s leadership approach are 28% more likely to grow – and 10% less likely to fail – over the next two years. Because when leadership improves, performance follows.

Each journey is designed by behavioural scientists to tackle the most common, costly and critical leadership challenges. No waiting, no building from scratch – just high-impact learning that’s ready to get into people’s hands.

One example is the below enterprise leader journey. It helps leaders build on their strengths and stretch further, unlocking performance through motivating goals, alignment to values and a shared sense of purpose.

They’ll also gain practical tools to foster team spirit while holding high standards. And if expectations fall short, they’ll know how to give feedback that builds confidence and drives improvement.

And because we know one size doesn’t fit all, every journey is modular. Want to switch a session, add a tool or flex to your needs? No problem. We’ll tweak it with you to get the outcomes you want.

360 feedback tool

Feedback isn’t enough if nothing changes. Most 360s end in a static report and a shrug. MindGym’s 360 assessment translates multi-source input into tailored, science-backed actions that drive real growth – not just awareness.

Feedback with follow-through – Real-world recommendations turn scores into behaviour change.

Built around your business – Customise with your own competency model or use MindGym’s behavioural frameworks.

Team and org-wide visibility – Aggregate trends make cultural risks impossible to ignore.
