NAVIGATING INFLECTION MOMENTS

Inflection Moments can be make or break for Leaders and their Organisations.

There are internal and external pressures to contend with, from internal team or structural changes to shifits in a market, fundraising or regulatory landscape. Meanwhile there are few "right" answers - which means we have to tap into our inner convictions,motivation and courage as Leaders.

Most importantly, Inflection Moments require us to juggle different time horizons simultaneously:

The Hour Hand
(Long-Term):

Dare new directions

The Minute Hand (Medium Term):
Ignite Team Potential

PREPARE

EMBARK
SUSTAIN

The Second Hand (Short-Term):
Align Motivations

The Watch Face
(All Time Horizons):

Learn to Learn

All four elements of DIAL are fraught with challenges.

Navigating an Inflection Moment won’t work if key stakeholders are disengaged, and history is littered with great companies who failed to Dare New Directions in the face of external shift.
 

That’s why a Guided Inflection Journey can be so powerful, providing leaders and their teams a powerful process, tools, spaces and support from Sharath to safely navigate your inflection moment, helping you reach places you wouldn’t have reached otherwise.

Each Journey is unique as is the place they reach, but typical benefits include:

Stronger Organisational
Alignment

Increased External Traction 
(e.g. Market Success. Fundraising etc)

Greater Leadership
Clarity & Direction

Increased Motivation and Purpose for the Leaders themselves

Intrinsic Leaders has taken over 150 leaders in over 35 organisations on Guided Inflection Journeys of this type, these include:

Corporates

Public Sector Organisations

Non-profits

Universities

Philanthropic Foundations

Venture Funds/Venture Studios

Are you struggling to stay motivated and committed
as a Leader?

Are you feeling the
sense of connection 
and belonging among your team dwindling?

Are you finding it harder to identify how your organisation stands out in an increasingly crowded 
and competitive landscape?

The first step is to ensure that you truly are at an inflection Moment - a make or break moment
where the shape of the future will be different from the present and past.

 

An Inflection Diagnostic can help you understand whether you truly are at an Inflection Moment.
 

Diagnostics typically involve interviews with key

internal and external stakeholders.

 

Below are typical questions that are covered in an Inflection Diagnostic:

Are you grappling withwhat the core “secret sauce” of yourorganisation really is?

Are you feeling a sense of the organisation “drifting”and lacking the purposeit once had?

Each Guided Journey is deeply customised to the needs of a specific organisation or cohort of
organisations.

 

A typical Guided Journey lasts from between 6 to 12 months, with different touchpoints with Sharath.

These include Facilitated Workshops, 1:1 Coaching Sessions, Group Reflective Sessions,
Strategic Debriefs and MasterClasses.

 

Guided Journeys can be standalone with an organisation (typically with a CEO and her/his
Leadership Team) or embedded into a wider
Leadership Programme.

 

Although each Guided Journey is unique and different, they typically take one of two forms:

Typically lasts 6 - 12 months, involving ten touchpoints with Sharath throughout the process, in the form of Group Workshops, 1:1 Coaching Sessions, Distributed Leadership Workshops & Master Classes. In instances of urgency, the interactions can be accelerated into a 2 - 3 month period.

A Full Guided Journey 

The Journey can be embedded into a wider leadership offering for Leaders and Organisations. Sharath partners with leading academic organisations, leading training organisations and networks in this way. There are typically five touchpoints for every Leader with Sharath, usually consisting of Group Workshops & MasterClasses.
