Leaders.
Brilliant leaders achieve through others. Ross aligns leaders to be linchpins of high performance, orchestrating both the team and individuals within it towards success. Leaders cultivate a culture of excellence, and drive continual improvement. They create the environment for others to be at their best and understand the fine balance between support and challenge. Too much support can be stifling, too much challenge can be threatening.

Overview
Ross owned the Fundamentals and Advanced experiences, end to end, that engaged Finastra’s entire population of 1,000 People Managers, to foster leadership capability across all levels of seniority in over 15 global locations.
Ross designed bespoke experiences that were impactful, meaningful and inspiring for the whole leadership population. He consulted and co-designed with senior stakeholders and the Executive Leadership Team to create leadership experiences that were closely aligned to Finastra’s purpose and strategy, whilst challenging the status quo.
Ross coached and facilitated key elements. Then recruited and upskilled an internal delivery team to execute the roll out of other global initiatives. Key to Finastra was making the experience real. Getting leaders to solve actual business challenges rather than exploring abstract theories.
