What Matters To Us
Our Thoughts & Ideas
The Definitive Guide to Leadership Styles: The 3 Domains of Leadership
An introduction to Leadership Styles Winston Churchill, Steve Jobs, Genghis Khan, Jeff Bezos and the Pope. No, this isn’t the start of a terrible ‘Dad’ joke, but a brief example of how there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to leadership. Great leaders differ significantly in their styles. Rosa Park’s approach differed to Martin Luther King’s, yet both are branded under the umbrella as being excellent at what they did. Lead. From the brutal authoritarian to the laissez-faire, there is a seat at the leadership table for all different [...]
Building and Sustaining Habits – How to Effectively Create and Stick to Habits
Following the dawn of the New Year, many of us will have taken stock of our lives and set multiple ambitious goals or New Year's Resolutions. However, as Spring draws closer, that motivation driving our self-improvement sprees is likely to be fading fast. Be assured, you’re not alone! In 2018 Forbes published an article which quoted that fewer than a quarter of people stay committed to their resolutions after 30 days, and only 8% go on to accomplish them. So now you’re probably wondering, what is it that makes those [...]
An Introduction to the Hogan Assessments
As part of our recruitment assessment for high-stake senior hires, we conduct Candidate Insights to help reduce uncertainty in the recruitment process. This helps identify aspects of the individual’s personality and approach at work that may need to be explored thoroughly in order to understand the candidate better and mitigate certain kinds of recruitment risk. This ensures you can hire with confidence, knowing new senior positions will be filled by the right people. The insights revealed from such assessments give recruiters a vivid illustration of the traits, attitudes and behaviours most [...]

Working Together As One
Our Specialist Health Sector Services
Edgecumbe Health specialises in creating sustained performance improvement for individual doctors, clinical teams and senior levels of healthcare management.
Edgecumbe Doctor 360 was the first multisource feedback instrument for doctors, and it is still leading the way. Its superior measurement properties mean doctors need fewer responses from colleagues and patients to produce a valid assessment, saving valuable clinician time. In addition, the resulting data is ‘cleaner’ than that from the standard GMC questionnaire which most providers offer, enabling insights from the data which simply cannot be achieved from ‘noisier’ data. We can offer the GMC tool, but the 50 NHS Trusts we currently support have all opted for the Edgecumbe Doctor 360.
