Start with evidence
Agree up to three outcomes, the evidence source, a responsible owner and a review date. These may cover applied leadership behaviour, opportunity access or a relevant business signal.
The Head Forward method
Leadership growth creates the next opportunity.
Discover capability and barriers. Design a fair pathway. Develop people through real responsibility. Embed learning in everyday work. Multiply the impact as leaders develop others.
Each cycle creates evidence to review: what improved, where opportunity still stalls and who is ready for the next responsibility. This is our approach to development, not a claim of guaranteed results.
For employers
Agree the starting point. Review the change.
We agree a small number of outcomes, record a baseline and review evidence from real work. The measures match the scope you purchase.
Review application
For an ongoing partnership, agree day 30 and day 60 check-ins and a day 90 review. Look at what people tried, what changed and what support remains.
Look further ahead
Review progression and retention at six months where the agreed scope, available data and group size permit. Report context and uncertainty rather than attributing every change to coaching.
Protect the coaching space
Sponsors receive agreed participation, actions and appropriately aggregated themes. Individual goals or progress are shared only under an explicit three-way agreement. Private session notes are not sponsor reports.
The focused Health Check includes its existing single 30-minute progress check-in. Additional reviews and ongoing coaching are separately scoped. No guaranteed promotion, retention saving or financial return.
How decisions are made
Ethical leadership must be practical.
Recommendations consider the evidence, the business impact and the human impact—not one in isolation.
01
Evidence
Separate facts, patterns and assumptions before acting.
02
Fairness
Test whether opportunity, expectations and consequences are applied consistently.
03
Impact
Consider people, performance, risk and long-term trust.
04
Accountability
Make ownership, decisions and next steps clear.
