What Guides Our Client Work?
At Clearsight Executive we are dedicated to getting the most out of
people in order that they serve the business within which they work to
their full potential. We believe...
The client has the answer: The most productive and sustainable way to create growth within a client or organisation is to help them discover or create solutions for themselves. There is of course a time and place for training, consultancy and skills transfer but at Clearsight Executive we always return to our home...coaching.
No-one is broken: So much of our success and failure is defined by how we act, communicate and respond to life‘s opportunities and challenges. Whilst these behaviours tend to define us, we believe passionately ‘that the person is not their behaviour‘. Behaviours are strategies each of us has learnt and adopted to achieve success in the only way we know how. Some behaviours are productive and enhancing, others debilitating. What can be learnt, can be un-learnt with new more productive behaviours.
Through connection with self comes success: Look at the most truly successful people in the world and you‘ll soon realise that it‘s not skill or intellect that differentiates them...it‘s their mindset. How they see themselves and relate to the world. At Clearsight Executive our aim to to go beyond the ‘what‘ and ‘how‘ and get into what‘s really going on, and we call that the ‘who‘. Who you really are with yourself and others. Acheive that connection and you‘ll achieve true success.

Brief: Over an intensive two month period prepare a young senior manager, tipped for further success, for a significant and challenging overseas assignment where his current leadership style and youth may be perceived as an impediment.
Strategy: The strategy consisted of four main approaches...

- assess the clients current leadership strengths and liabilities
- coach the gaps
Plan: Using 360 degree emotional intelligence tool the client‘s leadership strengths and liabilities were identified and a prioritised change plan agreed. Coaching, augmented by video-recorded role play, was additionally used to raise self-awareness and assist the client in developing confidence and greater gravitas. At the start of the overseas assignment further support was provided by telephone.

Global Insurance Provider
Client: A dominant player, lively in Europe, with aggressive plans for growth within Asia.
Brief: Against a backcloth of rapid re-organisation Clearsight Executive was asked to accelerate the development of a newly formed IT Leadership Team (LT) with responsibilities for 3,000 staff in UK and India. Our challenge was to get the team to a point of high-performance as defined by a set of pre-agreed measures within six months.
Strategy: The strategy consisted of three main approaches...
- assess leadership strengths and liabilities and how these enable and hamper success
- use a model for high-performing team development to identify gaps and develop a change plan
- understand the ‘climate‘ the LT creates and examine it‘s impact on the broader organisation
Plan: The LT members were all UK based which allowed for dedicated face-to-face time on a monthly basis. Face-to-face meetings were used to identify gaps and review actions against the team development change plan. Each meeting lasted a day and in all 5 meetings were held in a six month period. Additionally, individual LT members were coached throughout the assignment on a 1:1 basis every two weeks. Coaching focussed on individual leadership areas and specific LT contribution.
Results: The team flourished and measurable improvements in staff satisfaction surveys were achieved in 3 months. Additionally, after just 5 months the team was able to negotiate significant, and further, re-organisation as a result of company-wide job cuts of 20%.
Feedback: "Clearsight Executive offers great insight and tools to enable individuals and teams to review their performance and diagnose quickly the improvements required for business success".
