How I Support Senior Leaders in Building High-Performing Teams
Leadership is hard. It’s complex, relational and often lonely. Many CEOs and senior leaders carry the weight of holding the vision, driving performance and keeping the team aligned, all while managing communication breakdowns, trust gaps and behavioural patterns that quietly undermine culture.
​
I believe it doesn’t have to be this way. When a team defines a clear Target Leadership Model – a shared picture of what great leadership looks like at every level – and builds the systems, rhythms and development pathways to support it, everything starts to shift. Communication becomes cleaner. Trust grows. People understand themselves and the impact they have on others. They feel confident enough to contribute at their best.
​
And as the Target Leadership Model becomes lived, not laminated, performance stops being something the leader pushes uphill alone and becomes something the whole organisation carries with confidence.
​
THE CHALLENGES I HELP LEADERS SOLVE
Even well-run organisations hit cultural and leadership barriers that slow progress. Do any of these resonate?
​
• Communication breakdowns that create misalignment, friction or duplication of effort
• Silos between teams or functions that make collaboration and strategic alignment harder than it should be
• Limited psychological safety that prevents honest feedback and early issue-spotting
• Senior leaders who feel overloaded, misunderstood or isolated in their role
• Teams that work hard but still fall short of their collective potential
• Trust gaps that delay decisions and add unnecessary complexity
• A culture where difficult conversations are avoided until they become performance issues
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re in good company, and all of it can be addressed with the right leadership culture and operating model in place.
For practical examples of how I help leaders and organisations address these challenges, explore the leadership programmes I offer and see how they can be solved in practice.
Where I Make the Difference
Building Relational Intelligence
Every leader has patterns and tendencies that shape how they think, communicate and make decisions.
Some help them. Some get in the way.
I help leaders understand these predictable tendencies so they can lead themselves well and build healthier, more effective relationships.
As a licensed practitioner using GiANT’s toolkit, I use simple, visual tools to increase self-awareness, strengthen emotional intelligence and create leaders who are intentional rather than reactive.
Improving
Team
Performance
Teams develop habits, workarounds and unspoken rules to avoid conflict or stay comfortable. Over time, these patterns limit collaboration, communication and execution.
Using practical models, I help teams identify the behaviours and dynamics holding them back.
Together we build clarity, alignment and consistent working practices that improve communication, strengthen trust and increase collective performance.
Creating a
Healthy Leadership culture
Most teams know there are issues.
They just don’t know how to talk about them.
Healthy leadership cultures are built when leaders have the tools, language and confidence to make the real challenges discussable.
That’s where the work begins.
​
Using GiANT’s library of visual leadership tools, I help teams develop a shared language that removes ambiguity, brings clarity to expectations and makes honest conversations safe and normal.
And once issues are discussable, they become solvable.
​
The result is a culture where leaders communicate clearly, address tension early and work together with greater trust, alignment and impact.
Working with me
I love working with leaders and teams to uncover what’s really going on beneath the surface. Helping them build self-awareness, strengthen relationships and develop habits that create genuine cultural change. Seeing a team move from confusion to clarity, or from tension to trust, is why I do this work. There’s nothing more satisfying than watching people thrive when the leadership around them is healthy and intentional.
​
Below, you’ll find answers to the questions I’m most often asked about how I work with leaders, teams and organisations.
​
1. How does it work?
​
Every engagement begins with taking time to understand your context, challenges, cultural dynamics and what you’ve already tried.
From there, I design a bespoke plan that may include leadership development and coaching, team dynamics workshops or longer-term culture and strategy work.
​
Whether working with individual leaders or whole teams, the approach is always practical, human and grounded in simple tools that drive clarity, alignment and sustainable performance.
​
2. Is this scalable?
Absolutely. While I operate independently, the GiANT leadership toolkit is built for scale. All models, frameworks and tools can be rolled out consistently across multiple teams or entire organisations.
And when wider delivery is required, I collaborate with other trusted and certified GiANT coaches, qualified in Predictive Leadership Behaviours, to ensure consistent language, quality and impact. You can start with one team and scale confidently without losing coherence.
​
3. What does a typical engagement look like?
No two organisations are the same, but there is a predictable rhythm. I begin with discovery, identifying root issues, cultural blockers and leadership tendencies. From there, I design a tailored programme focused on your priorities — whether that’s strengthening leadership behaviours, building trust between teams, developing shared language, or clarifying vision, values and strategy.
​
Often, this includes a deep dive into key individuals’ Predictable Leadership Behaviours. Understanding how people are wired helps them lead themselves more effectively and improves how they lead and influence others around them.
Delivery can be in-person, virtual or hybrid, always with clear goals and measurable outcomes.

​
4. What makes your approach different?
I operate in the space between pure coaching and traditional consultancy.
​
I don’t simply ask questions and hope leaders find the answers, and I don’t provide canned solutions that sit in a drawer.
Instead, I combine deep listening, collaborative exploration and practical tools to help leaders address real challenges with clarity and confidence.
The outcome is a shift in day-to-day behaviour, communication and culture not just a good conversation.
​
5. How long does it take to see results?
The timeframe varies depending on the team, organisation and appetite for change. Some leaders and teams see breakthroughs within the first few sessions as clarity increases and communication improves. Others, particularly when tackling deeper cultural or strategic challenges, benefit from a longer engagement.
​
I work with teams and organisations for as long as is needed to embed the changes that will truly stick, ensuring lasting impact rather than quick fixes.
​
6. How do I measure progress?
Progress looks different for every team and organisation. Often it’s felt in clearer communication, stronger trust, smoother collaboration, and more confident decision-making.
​
To support this, I use tools such as 5 Voices profiles, team diagnostics, 360 reviews, and culture captures to help track shifts in behaviour, alignment, and team dynamics. But the most important measure is what you see day-to-day — teams working more effectively, leaders leading with clarity, and a culture that supports sustainable performance.
About Me
I’m Jimmy Dale, a leadership coach and consultant dedicated to helping leaders and teams reach their full potential.
Working alongside GiANT frameworks and trained in Predictive Leadership Behaviours, my approach sits intentionally between pure coaching and traditional consultancy. I listen deeply, ask the questions that matter, and explore possibilities with you. At the same time, I bring a wide range of practical leadership tools and models to help you build clarity, confidence and direction.
​
Much of my work centres on self-awareness and emotional intelligence. Every leader has patterns, tendencies and blind spots that shape the way they think, communicate and make decisions. I help leaders know themselves so they can lead themselves. From there, their influence increases, their relationships strengthen and their teams perform at a higher level.
​
Alongside individual coaching, I work with teams to improve communication, build relational trust and create a shared language for tackling challenges. Using frameworks from GiANT Worldwide such as 5 Voices, I equip teams with simple, visual tools that make it easier to talk honestly, address tension, and unlock collective performance.
​
Whether you’re navigating complex team dynamics, shaping culture, or trying to increase your impact as a leader, I provide a blend of coaching, insight, and practical tools to help you move forward with confidence.
