Developing Leadership Confidence and Capability
How LeaderShape helped Renova strengthen its leadership team's confidence and capability, supporting a successful transition in senior leadership through coaching, development workshops and LEIPA 360-degree feedback.
Leadership transitions create both challenges and opportunities. When senior leaders take on new responsibilities, the confidence and capability of the wider leadership team become essential to maintaining organisational performance.
Renova, an award-winning public-private partnership organisation developing primary care and community facilities, wanted to strengthen its leadership team as its Chief Executive took on a new role within its parent organisation, Fulcrum Group.

THE ORGANISATION
Developing facilities for primary and community healthcare
Renova is an award-winning public-private partnership organisation specialising in the development of primary care and community facilities.
As part of Fulcrum Group, Renova was preparing for a change in senior leadership responsibilities, creating an opportunity to develop the capabilities of its existing management team.
THE CHALLENGE
Preparing the leadership team for greater responsibility
Renova had established a strong reputation for developing primary care and community facilities through public-private partnerships.
When its Chief Executive moved into a wider role within Fulcrum Group, Renova needed its existing leadership team to take on greater responsibility and maintain the organisation's effectiveness.
The leadership priorities were to:
- Build confidence across the existing leadership team.
- Strengthen individual leadership capability.
- Prepare managers to take on additional responsibilities.
- Maintain organisational effectiveness during the transition.
- Support the development of future senior leadership capacity.
The priority was to build leadership confidence, strengthen individual capability and prepare the team to operate effectively during the transition.
LEADERSHAPE'S APPROACH
Combining leadership workshops, coaching and LEIPA feedback
LeaderShape designed a tailored leadership development programme combining individual coaching, structured feedback and practical learning opportunities.
The programme included three leadership workshops and masterclasses, exploring emotional intelligence, coaching leadership and approaches to understanding workplace relationships and behaviours.
Turning leadership insight into practical development
Participants completed the LeaderShape Emotional Intelligence Profile Assessment (LEIPA), a 360-degree feedback assessment designed to provide insight into leadership behaviours and development opportunities. Individual feedback and coaching helped participants turn these insights into practical action.
The leadership development programme
01. Leadership Workshops
Three workshops and masterclasses explored emotional intelligence, coaching leadership and workplace relationships and behaviours.
02. LEIPA 360-Degree Assessment
Participants completed LEIPA assessments to gain insight into their leadership behaviours, strengths and development opportunities.
03. Individual LEIPA Feedback
Each participant received a two-hour feedback session to understand their results and develop a personal action plan.
04. Coaching and Action Learning
One-to-one coaching and action learning sets provided opportunities to reflect, share experiences and apply learning to real leadership challenges.
EMBEDDING DEVELOPMENT
Applying leadership learning to everyday responsibilities
The programme went beyond providing leadership knowledge. Through individual feedback, coaching and action learning, participants were encouraged to apply their learning to real situations within Renova.
This combination of structured development and practical application supported the team's ability to respond to changing responsibilities.
