Your Energising Leaders System

Unlock the energy that drives personal, team and organisational transformation.

In a world of complexity, fragmentation, disengagement and burnout, leaders need more than strategies - they need energy.

 

The Energising Leaders System is a transformation framework that turns insight into impact.

It solves multiple problems through one integrated system, designed for bold leaders who want to clarify, energise and transform - across personal, team, and organisational levels.

Your Energising Leaders System - 
three steps, three levels of impact.

The Energising Leaders System is a powerful, integrated approach that helps leaders and organisations unlock their full potential. Built around three core actions - Clarify, Energise, and Transform - this system works across three levels of impact: Personal, Team, and Organisation.

Whether you're a senior executive seeking clarity on your purpose, a team looking to boost collaboration and performance, or an organisation ready to embed energy-rich cultures and structures, this system delivers practical, measurable change that lasts.

 

It’s not just leadership development -

it’s a system for sustainable momentum, alignment, and transformation.

Create momentum

One system. Three steps. Deep impact.

At the heart of the Energising Leaders System are three interconnected steps: Clarify - Energise - Transform

1. Clarify

Find the signal in the noise.

Before you can lead with energy, you need clarity - on where you stand, what matters most, and what will unlock momentum.

In this phase, we apply our Triangulation® method to gather insights

from data, human dynamics, and lived experience.

Our Strengths Unleashed partners interpret and relate those insights through their lenses of experience, wisdom and science, in the context of your unique complexity, helping you uncover:

​

  • What energises and drains

  • Roles, culture, and metarules

  • Strategy, purpose, and team dynamics

 

The signature question: “What is becoming clearer?” guides the process - turning ambiguity into alignment.

2. Energise

Shift from clarity to motion.

Here, insight becomes action. Using the findings from Triangulation®,

our team designs and facilitates tailored interventions to shift energy, eliminate friction, and build commitment. This might involve:

​

  • High-impact team collaboration rituals

  • Leadership role-modelling and micro-behaviours

  • Internal communications redesign

  • Rebuilding trust and connection

 

This isn’t off-the-shelf facilitation - it’s bespoke support rooted

in your real world.

3. Transform

Change the game - for good.

Transformation isn’t a phase - it’s a ripple effect. We support you

to build the capacity for ongoing reinvention by:

​

  • Developing future-fit leaders and succession pathways

  • Shifting from Game 1 (safety/status quo) to Game 2 (possibility/growth) thinking

  • Embedding energising micro-rituals

  • Aligning structures to maximise energy flow

 

Our aim: lasting impact through simple, powerful mechanisms that scale.

Create impact

One system, applied at three levels.

The Energising Leaders System meets you where it matters most - and scales with you.

1. Personal

  • Discover and amplify your energising strengths

  • Define your unique expression and energy plan

  • Learn to mobilise, focus, and refresh others

  • Build emotional, mental, and physical resilience

 

Delivered through mentoring, coaching, and personalised diagnostics.

2. Team

  • Reveal energy generators and blockers (e.g., BRITE, Discovery)

  • Build team charters and rituals that drive cohesion

  • Align priorities, reduce friction, and energise collaboration

 

Supported by practical tools like OFTN planning and micro-rituals.

3. Organisation

  • Measure energy levels across your system

  • Clarify vision, purpose, culture, and unspoken “metarules”

  • Embed energising structures, processes, and leadership norms

 

Designed through strategic facilitation and ongoing partnership

What energising leaders do

Mobilise. Focus. Refresh.

Energising Leaders don’t just lead - they spark something greater in others. They:

​

  • Mobilise people with purpose, confidence and stretch

  • Focus effort where it matters, with clarity and alignment

  • Refresh energy by solving blockers, clearing noise, and sustaining optimism

  • ​

They are masters of both human connection and systemic design. They bring care, belief, challenge and momentum - right when it’s needed most.

Developing energising leaders

A system that grows with you.

Through mentoring, diagnostics and eventually, our own modular certification, the Energising Leader System supports the growth of energising leadership at scale. Topics we cover include:

​

  • The neuroscience of energy

  • Adaptive leadership

  • Radical candour

  • Managing personal state

  • Leading change through clarity and care

Why it works

This isn’t consulting. It’s a system that changes how energy flows.

Most development efforts treat symptoms.

The Energising Leader System addresses the source: the energy and environment leaders create. It’s highly adaptable, evidence-informed, and practitioner-led.

It works - because it’s grounded in real leadership experience and real business impact.

Two Energising Leaders Systems that changed cultures

Real transformation doesn’t come from one-off workshops or surface-level fixes.

It comes from systems that energise leaders, unite teams, and shift culture at its core.

These two stories show how our Energising Leader Meta-Systems helped clients

turn challenge into clarity - and momentum into movement.

Misaligned teams. Misfiring culture.

The Challenge

Following a major strategic shift, a global client had redesigned its operating model and organisation structure. With the framework in place, the next critical move was assessing whether the organisation’s energy - across leadership and the wider system - was aligned and ready to execute. The leadership team needed visibility into both their own potential to energise the system and how energy was actually experienced day to day across the organisation.

​

When leadership intent and organisational energy are out of sync, culture drifts and performance slows. Here's how we helped one global client recalibrate and reignite.

What we designed with our client

We facilitated a tailored leadership offsite focused on turning insight into energy. The day began with debriefs of GC Index results for each leader, followed by a group synthesis of the team’s collective strengths and preferences. Next, we introduced the BRITE energy model, guiding the team through a pre-data self-assessment before sharing the actual organisational results.

​

Through dialogue, reflection and facilitated action planning, the team identified priority shifts to improve alignment and energise the organisation. We also co-designed a feedback approach to communicate findings transparently to the broader business.

So what?

The leadership team gained a new shared language around energy - and a deeper understanding of how their intent was (or wasn’t) landing. This clarity enabled smarter, faster decisions about where to focus, how to show up, and what changes would move the needle. Leaders felt energised and accountable, with a clear role in creating the culture they wanted to see.

​

With a more aligned understanding of what energises people and what drains them, the organisation gained traction toward delivering its strategy - with energy now pulling in the same direction.

Our diagnostic approach

We conducted a dual-layer diagnostic combining the GC Index and BRITE assessments. The GC Index measured the potential energy and intent of individual leaders and the broader organisation, identifying how people naturally contribute to impact. In parallel, the BRITE framework assessed current team energy - capturing how energy is flowing (or not) with regard to 5 critical elements: Sharing Mindsets, Building the Right Structure, Creating Safety and Cohesion, Processing Information and Producing Results.​

​

Together, these tools revealed gaps between leadership intention and organisational experience - a clear map of where alignment could be tightened to accelerate performance.

Team Effectiveness

​

The Leadership Circle - BRITE:

The example shows the results for one of the five critical elements of team energy measured - Sharing Mindset.​

​

Generators act as focal points, providing directional energy that unites and aligns the efforts of a team towards common goals. On the other hand, Disruptors tend to disperse energy and fragment the team, hindering collaboration and productivity.

Key drivers of organisation energy

​

The GC Inex - GCI:

Each member of the executive team has patterns of thinking that drive their behaviours when seeking to create an energetic impact in the organisation.

​

From the individual GC Index results we create a picture of the whole team showing individual profiles and an aggregated view that is suggestive of how the leadership team sees itself as engaging with the organisation.

​

The scale is a 1-10 scale, where 10 represents a high level of energy for the particular style.

The aggregated scores are expressed as a proportion of 100%.

 

In this example, the executive team has a dominant style of getting clear on the goal ("Strategist") together with a strong focus on task/getting things done ("Implementer").

Growth without alignment

The Challenge

When strategy moves faster than leadership cohesion, even the best plans struggle. Here’s an example of a leadership acceleration programme we designed with an executive team to close the gap and step into the future - aligned, energised and focused.

 

With a high-stakes IPO on the horizon, the CEO of a fast-scaling business needed the leadership team to elevate from "great" to truly exceptional. As the CEO’s role shifted outward, the rest of the team would need to step up - taking ownership for decisions, alignment and business orchestration at a new level. But the team’s collective readiness, confidence and cohesion hadn’t fully caught up with the ambition.

What we designed with our client

We facilitated a high-impact two-day offsite that combined individual feedback, team insights and peer coaching. Leaders received 1:1 debriefs ahead of the session, allowing them to arrive prepared with clarity on their personal strengths.

During the offsite, we introduced a shared leadership language and worked through real dynamics, ultimately co-creating a team charter and individual leadership growth plans. Follow-up coaching and engagement continued for 12 months to embed the shift.

So what?

The leadership team emerged with sharper self-awareness, renewed focus, and a shared sense of accountability. Each member had a clear map of their unique strengths and energy sources - and knew how to apply them to business priorities.
Trust deepened. Decision-making accelerated. Most importantly, the team stepped up to lead collectively, freeing the CEO to focus outward while confidence surged across the organisation. With structured follow-up, leaders also learned how to grow their teams and build internal capability - shifting from high potential to high performance.

Our diagnostic approach

We began with a deep discovery process - a triangulated blend of qualitative interviews, Gallup CliftonStrengths assessments and Zenger Folkman’s Extraordinary Leader 360°. We interviewed each LT member to understand their view of the current team dynamic, mapped energetic strengths and benchmarked leadership capability against a global database of 120,000 leaders. The result was a clear, energising picture of the team’s individual and collective strengths, blind spots and growth potential.​​
