Resources for Leaders & Management
Practical tools for understanding leadership behaviour, for when you’re not ready for a full diagnostic.
What Our Customers Say
Not every organisation is ready to begin with a system-wide diagnostic.
This page brings together a small number of low-risk, practical resources that support awareness, reflection, and individual insight into leadership behaviour, particularly under pressure.
They are often used:
As a starting point.
To support specific individuals or teams.
Alongside wider organisational activity.
They are not a substitute for understanding leadership behaviour at a system level, and they are not designed to be.
A note for HR and L&D Staff
The resources below are deliberately contained.
They can be purchased and approved easily, provide immediate value, and carry low organisational risk. However, they focus primarily on individual insight, not organisational alignment.
Where leadership behaviour is creating recurring friction, escalation, or stress, organisations typically require a diagnostic approach to understand patterns at scale.
Many of our clients use the resources below before recognising the need for that clarity.
Leadership 101: Don’t Be a Dick
£10 + postage and packaging (Zero VAT rated)
This is our MD's Amazon #1 best selling book.
A practical, plain-spoken introduction to leadership behaviour, accountability, and the everyday actions that undermine trust and performance.
This book is often used to:
Prompt reflection in new or developing leaders.
Support informal leadership conversations.
Reinforce basic behavioural expectations.
It is intentionally accessible — and intentionally limited.
It builds awareness, not alignment.
SDI Profiles - £115+VAT per profile
The Strength Deployment Inventory (SDI) focuses on:
What motivates behaviour.
How people respond to conflict.
How behaviour shifts under stress.
SDI is particularly helpful where:
Conflict is present but poorly understood.
Leaders struggle to interpret reactions under pressure.
Motivation and values are part of the challenge.
Like all profiling tools, SDI explains behaviour, on it's own it does not stabilise it.
Behavioural Profiles
DISC Profiles - £25+VAT per profile
DISC provides a clear, accessible way for individuals to understand:
How they naturally communicate.
How their behaviour may be perceived by others.
How pressure can amplify certain traits.
It works well as:
A first introduction to behavioural difference.
A shared language for teams.
A personal development tool.
Used alone, DISC creates insight.
It does not create consistent behaviour across leadership levels.
1:1 Behavioural Profiling Interpretation Session (Add-on only)
£300 + VAT
Available only alongside a behavioural profile
A single coaching session to help an individual:
Interpret their DISC or SDI profile.
Reflect on behavioural impact.
Identify practical adjustments.
This session supports personal insight, not organisational change.
For that reason, it is only offered as an add-on to profiling and not as a standalone service.
👉 Add a 60-minute interpretation session (£300 + VAT)
1:1 Consultancy Session
Leadership Behaviour Advisory (60 minutes)
£300 + VAT
A confidential, one-off advisory session for senior leaders or management who need to think clearly about a specific situation.
This is not coaching and not a programme.
It is most often used to:
Sense-check a leadership or behavioural issue.
Clarify options before taking action.
Think through risk, boundaries, and next steps.
There is no obligation to continue beyond the session.
When these resources are, and aren’t, enough.
These resources are effective when:
The need is individual or localised.
The goal is awareness or reflection.
Risk is low and contained.
They are limited when:
Behavioural issues repeat across teams.
Pressure consistently changes how leaders show up.
Accountability escalates into HR.
Investment hasn’t translated into behaviour change.
In those situations, organisations typically require clarity before action.
A sensible next step for organisations
Where leadership behaviour may be creating organisational risk, we work with senior leaders through a Leadership Behaviour Diagnostic.
This provides:
Clarity on where behaviour breaks down.
Insight into pressure patterns across leadership levels.
Evidence-led options for next steps.
There is no obligation to proceed beyond the diagnostic.
Start with clarity
If you’re unsure whether individual resources are sufficient, or whether a wider pattern is emerging, a diagnostic conversation is often the safest place to start.
