Leadership isn’t just about individuals—it’s about the collective. In most organisations, leadership development has long followed a standard recipe: send promising individuals away on a programme to learn about behaviours and mindsets, then hope the learning sticks.

But at Building20, we do things differently.

We develop leadership in context. That means working with the entire leadership team—not in isolation, and not in theory. We approach leadership as a system embedded in your organisation’s day-to-day reality, where strategic decision-making, motivation, culture, and behavioural dynamics collide. And that’s precisely where the magic happens.

đŸ€ Why Leadership Development Must Happen in Teams

Traditional leadership training focuses on individuals. But individual behaviour is highly influenced by the environment—especially the social environment created by colleagues, team dynamics, cultural norms, and organisational systems.

Our team-based approach ensures:

  • Leaders are developed in the actual context of their organisation
  • Leadership becomes a shared responsibility, not a top-down directive
  • Teams gain insight into how their behaviours interact and combine—for better or worse

Leadership is about setting direction and creating the conditions for progress. If that alignment is missing at the top, it ripples throughout the organisation. But when a team leads with clarity and cohesion, everything changes.

🔄 A Whole-System Approach to Leadership Team Development

We’ve developed a simple, grounded process to support your leadership team’s evolution. No jargon. No fluff. Just purposeful transformation rooted in behavioural science and strategic action.

Step 1: What’s Your Best Hope?

We begin by asking a deceptively simple question: What’s your best hope for your organisation? Most leadership teams assume they’re aligned—but surface this conversation, and unexpected gaps emerge. We take time to help your top tier get on the same page before charging forward.

Step 2: What Does Success Look Like?

Next, we explore what it looks like when your leadership team is thriving. What kind of working dynamic will achieve your purpose? What feedback systems, signals, and behaviours reflect a healthy, effective team? We use visioning tools to bring this to life—grounded in your actual strategic goals and cultural aspirations.

Step 3: Where Is This Already Happening?

Finally, we ask: What’s already working well? Because leadership isn’t theoretical—it’s happening every day. We help you amplify what’s good, build on what’s strong, and embed new practices immediately. This leads to practical, sustainable change in how leaders show up, communicate, and collaborate.

🧠 What Makes Building20’s Approach Different?

We specialise in contextual leadership development. Our consultants combine behavioural science with strategic insight to deliver just enough support—meaning your team gets the tools and mindset to lead independently long after we’re gone.

Our model prioritises:

  • Purpose over process
  • Practical strategy over generic frameworks
  • Human systems thinking over isolated leadership behaviours

Whether you’re shifting culture, leading change, or trying to reconnect your team with what really matters—we’re here to help you translate insight into meaningful action.

đŸŒ± Leadership That’s More Than the Sum of Its Parts

Great leadership isn’t simply about good individuals—it’s about how those individuals interact, influence each other, and move in sync.

In other words, your leadership team can be more—or less—than the sum of its parts.

We help make it more.

By treating leadership as a dynamic, responsive system, we ensure your team isn’t just talking about values—but living them. Together, we create the conditions for trust, creativity, and sustained high performance in the work that truly counts.
