    What Client's Say

     

    “There are many leadership courses and consultancies that claim to transform. Our Senior Team needed reassurance before investing. John's practical 'taster' hooked us. He’s is an inspirational educator and consultant. He has a unique understand of successful leadership. His engagement left us all incredibly impressed.”

    "He combined the best of both worlds applying academic rigour and industry experience to make our leadership issues clear".

     

     

    "John turned our strategy around diagnosing the business and teaching us about the principles of business change. We identified over 100 symptoms and 13 root causes stopping growth. We were able to prioritise key issues like clarifying roles & responsibilities and reduce a new M&A conflict. We've finally recovered strategic vision".

    "We used Mining for Growth [Project 2] like intense Design Thinking to identify sales and marketing opportunities. We identified around 30 symptoms and 3 major root causes to improve business performance. It reduced conflict and focused us on delivering opportunities. We also have a Fast Track Problem Solving Framework teams use so we don't get stuck in again."

    John uses his unique ability vast experience to define his approach and help top-level leadership and management to hone their skills. Having someone like him to clarify both business and personal objectives, something that it is easy to lose sight of in the hustle and bustle of daily work, leads to greater focus and better, more satisfying, results.

    "John’s approach changed how we function as business. He developed the senior management team to diagnose the business and solve problems. We identified 20 symptoms and 5 root causes, got aligned and put change in place. We have a Fast Track Problem Solving process in place".

     

    “He is a leading figure in business leadership with decades of experience at a global level. I would highly recommend individuals, businesses, clubs, governing bodies and anyone wishing to progress their careers in sport to utilise John’s vast array of experience.”

    “Professor Grisby's experiences of helping leaders’ transition in industry 4.0 is packed full of useful, practical advice. His approach is a prerequisite for those leaders seeking to adopt and exploit the 'digital thinking'. It's now at our disposal."

     

    "We calculated John saved us between six and eight months turnover in time and resources.”

    Dow the Rabbit Hole (DtRH Autumn 2021)

    The Science of Leadership Mindsets
     

    Since the 1960s nearly 80,000 books (and counting) have been written about leadership. The problem with understanding leadership is its highly subjective and contextual nature. There are as many different views on leadership as there are leaders, therefore, everyone has a different answer.
     
    There is a practical, 'hands on' approach to leadership, which are theory, models and methodology. This podcast however takes you down another route, ‘the rabbit hole’, exploring the vast human scientific domains that impact how leaders think, adapt, develop, respond, perform and survive (or not).

    Down the Rabbit Hole (DtRH) takes an innovative approach that shapes and throws new light on the subject, often approached and answered by conventional or traditional perspectives. DtRH uses the scientific framework of Leadership Mindsets to deliver unusual depth of insight. Leadership Mindsets is interdisciplinary, integrating themes that cut across and connect between different disciplines and their relationship to the real world of leadership.
     
    Each episode is as ‘Q&A’ with a leader or subject expert who analyses how their specific domain relates to leadership thinking, behaviour, capacity and capability.

    Leadership is never greater than the quality of thinking

    Think about it

    How you approach leadership strategy, understanding complexity, problem-solving and designing solutions is first thought and then action.
     

    Your Grey Matter, therefore, becomes a vital tool to continually refine to produce high-quality thinking and actions. > Thinking newsletter fills your Grey Matter to do just that.

    What's Inside

    It's a resource. You will be introduced to a vast reservoir of practice-based thinking that integrates the best of three worlds - first principle science, academic rigour and real-world commercial application.

     

    First Principle thinking. Pseudoscience, textbook MBA models and armchair philosophy have diminishing returns in 4IR. *We guide you by focusing on frameworks, models and skill set necessary for effective next-generation leadership. Focused intention. We raise your awareness about approaches to understand complexity, solving difficult problems, and designing/ implementing solutions. When you're confused think of this as your 'Prof.' who's giving you ‘bottom line' clarity.
     

    Clarity is power in 4IR. We raise your awareness about approaches to understand complexity, solving difficult problems, and designing/implementing solutions. When you're confused think of this as your 'Prof.' who's giving you ‘bottom line' clarity.

     

    Respect for context. Our readers are from every corner of the globe, like China, Europe, Middle East, UK, South Africa, USA and Russia. In addition from across all sectors - finance, automotive, sport, FINTECH, tourism, government, health care, etc. All this might seem confusing, which is why our basic starting point is the detail of socio-cultural 'DNA'.

     

    Functional. Practice-based, versatile and applicable. Simply add context, stir and apply.
