Wondering what the most common leadership styles are? Here's how our colleagues at DRAX define them 👇 #leadership #business

What are high-growth businesses in the North focused on during these times of economic uncertainty? There are five consistent themes that we hear from the high growth businesses we support; ☑️ People: The right team at the right time is essential to unlock growth. Success isn’t just about strategy - it’s about having the right people in the right seats to execute and innovate. ☑️ Market fit & innovation: Continuously evolving to meet changing market demands is critical. If your product isn’t agile, you risk stagnation. ☑️ Solid foundations: Growth can only scale effectively with a strong business platform in place. Structure matters. ☑️ Strong leadership: Profitable growth relies heavily on strong leadership that balances vision with the right decisions for both people and business outcomes. ☑️ Investment: Growth often requires smart investment, but it’s important to find the right partners who align with your business goals. We support our Clients to ensure they have the growth-focused leaders in place to help prioritise people, drive innovation and deliver their business strategy. #business #PrivateEquity #LeadershipInsights Rowan are part of The LCap Group: Drax Executive, Altus Partners, Drax Affinity, PACE and Leadership Dynamics

Change management is essential for founder-led businesses undergoing transformation, especially when taking on private equity investment. This pivotal moment requires founders to transition from founder to CEO, taking on the role of change manager. Private equity provides strategic support and resources, like market access and operational improvements, to fuel growth and value creation. Success hinges on clear communication of strategic changes and transparency with employees and investors. The right leadership team is crucial for scaling, bringing experience, networks, and vital support to the new CEO. We connect founders with the leadership talent they need to achieve their growth ambitions. #leadership #founder #PrivateEquity Rowan are part of The LCap Group: Altus Partners, Drax Affinity, Drax Executive, Leadership Dynamics and PACE
