Activating New Business — Discover-Share-Earn
The Unleash Leadership Partnership Network gives us a powerful opportunity to capture potential revenue streams that would otherwise be lost. We are inviting our Partners to share business leads for opportunities that they discover within their existing client engagements, which they are either not interested, willing or able to deliver. When you share with us the new business opportunity, it’s requirements: needs, scope, skills, start date, duration, etc we will then perform a search across our Partnership Network to locate if there are suitable Partner(s) to deliver the requested services to your client, and then connect you with them. You will earn a percentage of revenue, in alignment with our Fair-based Revenue Share Model, for each lead you bring in which results in the delivery of a service by one of our Partners to your client. If you know of a business opportunity with your client you are invited to share it here.

Our Systemic Research Initiative
We have completed 14 interviews across Scale-ups and Corporates. A few of the key highlights are: Young leaders believe in the ‘new ways of working’. They are looking for new learning opportunities by doing. Mid-level Management wants to increase their impact and feel stuck in the political structures. Senior management is sensing that other skills are needed for them to progress, for example, soft skills. They are often experiencing tension in balancing their personal and working life. Sports and travelling were on the top of many interviewees outside of work activities. Making a difference not only earning money, was a key phrase we heard often.
