Does This Sound Familiar?

Ambitious internal goals and challenging external environment require a step-change in how your leaders lead, not just incremental tweaks
The paradox of reducing cost and growing the business at the same time is difficult for leaders to navigate
You want to build a leadership culture of proactiveness, agency and individual responsibility but more often than not, you seem to get the polar opposite

A Unique Solution

The leadership circle profile is a powerful 360° leadership assessment that helps leaders and their teams map the invisible leadership patternsthat shape their response to their environment. It provides a rigorous, evidence-based mirror of how leaders are experienced — particularly under pressure.

At its core, LCP distinguishes between Reactive and Creative leadership.

Reactive patterns

Often intensify under pressure — control, perfectionism, over-functioning, caution.

Creative leadership

Integrates results with relationship — clarity of direction, authenticity, collaboration and systems thinking.

"What I love about Purposeful Change is how they help people change for the better. They give us the tools and support we need to be our best selves, to grow, be creative and find our purpose."

Diagnostic Rigour

The Leadership Circle Profile measures:

How leaders deliver results
How they build relationships
Which Reactive tendencies may be limiting impact
The strength of Creative leadership capacity

"When tough issues arise, the leader now shows genuine concern rather than pushing straight to solutions."

From Insights to Habit

OUTWARDSI explore the world beyond my fears, assumptions and judgements

INWARDSI reflect on myself to understand how I've changed

ONWARDSI experiment with new ways of being that enable greater positive impact

Our work is structured around a simple cycle: experience, reflection and experimentation. We design deliberate experiences and provide practical tools so new mindsets and behaviours translate into repeatable action.

The Results

At the individual level, leaders gain:

Clear visibility of blind spots and overused strengths
Insight into how they show up under stretch
A focused development agenda

At the collective level, profiles reveal:

System-wide reinforcement patterns
Cultural tendencies under pressure
Where leadership behaviour may be slowing enterprise performance

From Insights to Change

An illustrative three-phase implementation of the Leadership Circle Profile:

Phase 1Individual Insight

Phase 2Team Integration

Phase 3Embedding & Measurement

Phase 1: Individual Insight

LCP Profile and 1:1 Coaching
Surface reactive patterns under stretch
Clarify how each leader's behaviour impacts decision flow and empowerment
Establish personal ownership & commitment

Phase 2: Team Integration

Share aggregated insights at Executive level
Identify collective reinforcement patterns
Make explicit patterns shaping escalation and control
Agree clear shifts in leadership norms (e.g. decision rights, escalation, ownership)

Phase 3: Embedding & Measurement

Introduce missions & accountability loops
Integrate development into real business challenges
Track shifts from reactive to creative leadership over time
Re-measure to evidence behavioural and cultural movement

"The leader is much calmer under pressure and less reactive. It creates a more focused, constructive environment. Even in high-pressure moments, his responses are more measured and considered."
