Ensuring operational leaders grow as fast as their businesses
Being an operational leader in a rapid growth business is hard. Every day brings new challenges to solve. Leaders are often seeing and tackling these for the first time and this can be overwhelming.
Scaling a business rapidly means leaders are extremely busy and lack the bandwidth to focus on their own development. They often have strong technical or functional expertise but may not have the leadership, management, and strategic skills needed as the business grows.
Founders and early employees often struggle to delegate responsibility and authority as the business scales. They may micromanage rather than empower others.
By investing in targeted, one to one support for high potential operational leaders, you can help them deliver the leadership that’s needed in a fast growth business.
Specialist operational leadership coaching
I work with operational leaders to help them develop their practice, confidence and effectiveness in regular sessions. Our work together begins with a goal setting workshop where we collaboratively set goals for our work together. After that workshop, I meet with you every fortnight or monthly for a one-to-one session.
Coaching enables leaders to explore challenges that they currently have in their work. Mentoring allows you to gain relevant specialist knowledge quickly.

“I’ve been working with Simon as a coach and mentor for just over two years. And he has been an amazing support, champion and challenger for me.
Simon gave me the opportunity to understand where my strengths lie, how I could truly harness them to prosper and rather than dread challenges, use them as great learning and growing experiences.
He’s always great at bringing a different perspective, and through building trust and understanding, he’s also able to challenge me and help me with alternative approaches and viewpoints to broaden my thinking.”
