AN INSIDE VIEW

CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY/SUSTAINABILITY

Many leaders know that responsible and sustainable business practice is no longer an option. Their stakeholders all demand more and what was once regarded as peripheral is now mainstream.

Ed Williams works with leaders and their teams to support them in:

  • Defining what a responsible business would look like
  • Building a clear business case
  • Identifying, through stakeholder engagement, the specific demands and pressures the business faces in its marketplace
  • Creating the realistic options for responding to them
  • Engaging people at all levels by raising awareness and helping managers and front-line employees to view their world through a different lens - thereby growing enthusiasm and commitment
  • Embedding and sustaining changes so that behaving more responsibly is built-in, not bolted-on and becomes simply ‘the way we do business’

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

People development is a corner stone of sustainable organisational growth. It is effective leadership which creates the conditions for success and helps organisations generate and sustain that growth.  

Ed Williams can help you develop the effectiveness of your current and future leaders to maximise their potential and deliver peak performance. He can offer this through:

  • Leadership development programmes that build capability and self-awareness
  • Building and developing teams and their effectiveness
  • Interpersonal skills development

EXECUTIVE COACHING

Coaching can have a powerful effect on organisational success and individual performance – providing stretch and stimulation. A pre-requisite for all successful coaching assignments is good personal chemistry and a non-judgmental relationship based on trust.

Ed Williams offers clients a safe, supportive and confidential environment in which to discuss their key issues, identify goals, examine new strategies and commit to actions. These are practiced so that new habits are formed and increased effectiveness follows.

He provides coaching programmes for managers and senior executives as well as individuals who have been identified as ‘emerging talent’ to help them think, feel and behave more effectively in order that they may deliver peak performance and enhanced results.

The reasons for coaching will vary but may include:

  • Coping with change and/or periods of intense pressure
  • Helping emerging talent to realise potential and accelerate performance
  • Dealing with under-performance
  • Managing role or career transition


A responsible business is one that has built-in to its purpose and strategy a commitment to deliver sustainable value to society at large..and has open and transparent business practices that are based on ethical values and respect for employees, communities and the environment.

Tomorrow’s Global Company: Challenges and Choices
June 2007















The truth is that no one factor makes a company admirable. But if you were forced to pick the one that makes the most difference, you’d pick leadership.

Warren Bennis - 1998










Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?

Words by Marianne Williamson spoken by Nelson Mandela at his Inauguration Speech, 1994
