360 DEGREE PEOPLE
Are you a leader committed to building a culture where people want to work—and can truly thrive?
We help leaders become architects of purposeful, high-performing cultures by putting people at the centre of change. With many decades of combined experience, our team supports organisations to strengthen collaboration, unlock leadership potential, and deliver meaningful impact across teams, services, and systems.
You can’t create great places without effective systems leaders. Our systems leadership approach talks in detail about how we make this happen.
Our 360° People team has supported systems leaders to drive local change for over 20 years. We will work alongside as a trusted advisor to connect and build a collaborative culture within your organisation and across your system so that you adapt to complex challenges and deliver genuine impact together.
Have a go at our systems leadership self-assessment to see where you are strong, and where you may need some further development.
OUR SYSTEM LEADERSHIP APPROACH
A systems leader is a purpose and values-driven leader who works effectively across organisational boundaries, building connections and driving positive change through their practice and their team.
Systems leaders act as connectors and catalysts for collective local action and they drives large-scale systemic change by working across team, organisational and sectoral boundaries.
Systems leaders possess a unique set of skills and attributes that enable them to address complex, interconnected challenges that cannot be solved by any single organisational entity alone.
Does any of this look and feel familiar? If so, you’re in the right place. Let’s talk.
We work with systems leaders who shape organisational cultures that foster collaboration, innovation and continuous improvement.
We support our clients to create environments where diverse perspectives are valued, where learning flourishes, and where people are empowered to apply new ways of working across boundaries to achieve shared outcomes.
By modelling and embedding these practices, they cultivate lasting cultural change that enables systems to adapt, evolve and perform sustainably.
As leaders, we need the capacity and capability to both lead strategically and manage operationally. We need to be able to work effectively both as leaders, and within teams
We know that building team and individual resilience is essential. Our team can help create a dynamic which balances inclusion and psychological safety through listening to staff, customers and patients, whilst also delivering quality and performance in a tight financial environment.
We understand both the public and private sector and the transformational changes required to ensure sustainability and are driven by the values of excellence, integrity and investment in teams and people.

“This coaching has been a fantastic experience – I am able to critically analyse what I need to do, which as a senior person is rare to have the time to focus on myself. My coach has a very positive and engaging style –always welcoming. Their skill in challenging, reflecting back critical issues in a way that helped me to reflect as a leader and senior manager about how I was going to implement the changes required. The coaching has positively built my confidence – at a difficult time for me and the organisation. I understand myself more, my strengths and areas I need to focus on to support and lead across my teams and organisation.” Chief Superintendent, Police -

“I couldn’t do what I do now if I hadn’t been on the programme. I was matched perfectly with my mentor, his creative approach really worked for me. I’ve been connecting with lots of people who have helped me massively, including senior people in the NHS and Liverpool City Council. It’s grown from me having one other member of staff, to now having six, so I can focus more time on business development.”
