Inspirational leaders achieve success by engaging others and encouraging them to perform to the highest level of their abilities. They win the hearts and minds of the people around them with their vision, their passion, their purpose and their leadership values. Inspirational leaders are those of integrity whom people believe in and trust. They develop thriving organisations based on an environment in which creativity is encouraged and supported and where teams consistently achieve a high level of performance.

About Us

Values Based Leadership was formed in 2001 and works with companies in all sectors to help them improve organisational performance. We specialise in:

  • Leadership development
  • Executive coaching and mentoring
  • Developing high performance teams who can lead and deliver strategic change
  • Supporting our clients to successfully implement organisational development programmes.

We design and deliver innovative programmes that release the potential of our clients’ leaders and teams by enabling them to develop the attitudes and behaviours which underpin successful growth and development for the organisation in its market or sector. We are trusted partners to our clients and develop long term relationships based on understanding their vision, values and strategic business objectives. This ensures that our programmes are relevant to each of our client’s specific organisational needs. To be effective and sustainable we believe that learning and development programmes have to engage the emotions as well as the intellect. In this way they achieve a sustainable improvement in performance.

VBL programmes are co-created with our clients. Key to our success has been our values based approach. Having the courage and integrity to discuss the important issues with our clients in an open and honest dialogue ensures our solutions are relevant and appropriate to the development needs of leaders, teams and the organisation itself. It also means we have an intimate understanding of our clients, so our programmes reflect the reality of leading and managing in their particular business culture and environment.

The VBL team has a wealth of experience in delivering leadership development solutions to global companies and has considerable experience in delivering programmes to multi-cultural groups in Europe, North America and Asia. Our core team is complimented by a group of Associates based in the UK and around the world who bring different skills and ideas to our business. They, along with our own passion for innovation and continuous improvement, ensure we are always at the top of our game and creating the best solution for our clients’ requirements.

Our current clients include Starbucks, Baxi, Verbatim, SCA Packaging, Barnardos, OSI Food Solutions, Pfizer, Balfour Beatty plc, Mars Inc, Skanska, Hamworthy plc, Weir Group plc, Lucite International, Babcock plc and Ametek Inc.
