THE CHALLENGER SPIRIT

We have become a society in which the status quo is no longer a viable strategy. Disruption, disturbance, change, transformation, agility, boldness and creativity – these are the essential characteristics of a new leadership age.

Together, they require those leading our businesses to be challengers of the status quo.

CLIENTS

It is one of the great ironies of our digitally disruptive age that too many companies and leaders are unwilling to wrestle themselves from entrenched legacies. 

Just when they need to be more fluid and agile, they appear determinedly stuck – with out-dated doctrines, habits and methodologies. 

At Relume, we help you to break free of those shackles, build more empowering connections and unleash your challenger spirit. 

We have partnered with the CEOs and executive teams of these organisations in the U.K. and across the world.

CASE STUDIES

Mechanistic, predictive leadership calcifies an organisation and its staff. Instinctive, connected leadership – feeding off disruptive uncertainty – fuels creative problem-solving by dismantling barriers and defences. We believe working with vulnerability and acknowledging flaws strengthens our ability to get unstuck. 

Anxiety, fear, defensiveness, anger, blame, accusation are all consequences
of this process. Especially anxiety. Our skill is to help leaders and teams work with that anxiety to understand what causes it, how to deal with it and how to use it as an enabling energy rather than a destructive one.
