Next generation
leadership development

We need to change the way we think about and develop leaders…

• To move beyond ‘charismatic, egoful’ leadership
• To promote leadership and thinking right through our organisations (rather than too focused at the top).
• To develop leaders who can combine emotional maturity, breakthrough thinking and the savvy to make things happen.

In our view Next Generation Leadership Development will focus on three characteristics….

Dynamism – Being alive and quick thinking with the ability to unlock creativity and genuinely innovative ideas.

Maturity – Having the self-assuredness to remain humble yet strong and determined yet open.

Savvy – Having the political and market facing wisdom to ensure good ideas are able to succeed.

Example projects

Projects include leadership development for;

• 1000 BT senior managers
• The top 1000 managers in Tesco
• The top 200 managers in the Mars – Pedigree Masterfoods UK business.

“My approach to leadership has fundamentally changed at work. I now lead through people, inspiring each person to contribute to their fullest potential. The coaching I received from Bridge makes the rhetoric of management courses seem stale by comparison”.

BT Development Manager
