A message to you from our CEO

Tim Collings

We work alongside CEOs who are seeking to improve the performance of the organisation they lead by developing leadership capability at the Executive and senior to middle management level, to transform culture and embed values and customer experience deep into the core behaviours of the organisation.

The majority of our engagements originate from a conversation with a CEO who recognises the critical influence of leadership as the primary catalyst and sustainable driver of organisational performance.

CEOs who have worked with us have recognised that we invest time to understand the organisation and its culture to deliver solutions that are optimised for each organisation and engagement. They have described our process as incredibly comprehensive, transparent and informative, ensuring that our projects achieve the intended outcomes. They have described their experience with us as enabling to their success, both increasing organisational performance and their focus to go fully on with their primary mandate - growing the organisation.

We believe CEOs can make the world better by inspiring exemplary leadership, investing in the development of leaders with great potential, to enhance their contribution and igniting that potential to drive high-performance teams to deliver significantly improved commercial outcomes.

We look forward to hearing from you, understanding your organisation, and working with you to create an extraordinary organisation and a better world.

A message to you from our CEO

Tim Collings

We work with Executive and Senior leaders who are the critical juncture of leadership contribution – influencing on all sides, delivering commercial outcomes directly through their own leadership and inspiring increased leadership performance from their teams, peers and the wider organisation.

In the majority of our engagements we work hand-in-hand with Executives and Senior leaders, providing our support and expertise to enable their growth, accelerating their trajectory, improving the outcomes they and their teams deliver and enhancing their lives and careers.

Executives and Senior Leaders who have worked with us have highlighted that we take time to understand them, and the organisation’s context and culture they lead within; taking a committed and caring approach focused on each individual leader we engage with in a direct, honest and collaborative manner, working with them and alongside them every step of the way along their leadership journeys. We do so respectfully, tactfully and personably, celebrating successes and rising to challenges together. They have described their experience with us as being very engaging, supportive, fun, easy to work with and always providing confidence that we shared a commitment to a shared goal – achieving the success they aspire towards.

We believe Executives and Senior Leaders make the world better by providing a tangible example of what great leadership can be, directly igniting potential by developing themselves and the future great leaders that they lead, compounding the organisational benefits and commercial outcomes of improved leadership contribution.

We look forward to hearing from you, understanding your organisation, and working with you to develop exceptional leaders, create an extraordinary organisation and a better world.

A message to you from our CEO

Tim Collings

As a great leader of the future, you have the greatest opportunity to create a better world through your leadership. By investing in developing your leadership capability now, at the formative stage of your career, you and your organisation will maximise your contribution as a leader over the longest tenure available. This will benefit you, the teams you lead, the organisation you apply your leadership talents to, all those around you who you inspire with your actions and as a compound of all these, the whole world.

The future great leaders who have worked with us have described our work as being massively beneficial to their growth as a leader, providing them with clear development pathways based on skills, knowledge and behaviours that have allowed them to provide far greater leadership to their teams, achieving vastly improved outcomes for both their organisations and themselves. They have described their experience with us as being one of a deep level of trust, hugely supportive and caring for them as individuals and providing a vital forum to discuss ideas, challenges and opportunities with a sound-board outside of their usual supporters who was equal parts encouraging and challenging, always driving them on to achieve greater leadership capability and success.

As I said at the start, we believe the great leaders of the future are ideally placed to make the world better. The leadership journey is one that never ends, there will always be room for learning, improvement, refining your style and increasing your impact and inspirational ability as a leader. The sooner you begin yours the better for us all…

‘The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second-best time is today.’ (Japanese proverb).

Are you ready to plant the seed of your leadership journey?

We look forward to contributing to your leadership journey, and hope to hear from you soon.

All the best,
Tim Collings,
Founder CEO, 4iGroup
