Our Approach

Your people move in the same direction, at the same time.

We combine Host Leadership and the Solutions-Focused Approach to take your good intentions to meaningful results.

We are honest, open, caring, strong hosts of change – the change you want to see in your teams and organisation.

“The solution doesn’t care where the problem came from.”

– Ludwig Wittgenstein

About Host Leadership

Host Leadership is about becoming a leader in a natural, personal way. It is fundamentally based on the ancient roles of hosting. Hosting is cross cultural, known in all religions and has been described for millennia.

Host Leading is highly relational. It’s about building relationships – at work, in the community, in society, at home – to engage others in the collective goal, resulting in increased performance and better results.

Developed by Mark McKergow and Helen Bailey, Host Leadership is a rich and effective metaphor which provides the frame for agile leaders to better understand what is needed to move their teams forward to success.

“Most people start leading from a heroic stance – they get things done by knowing more or working harder than anyone else. In time, the smart ones become aware that the role of the leader is more like a host than a hero – drawing people together around an issue or challenge, engaging them and getting results through others.”

About the Solution-Focused Approach

When a company has a problem that is stopping them from moving forward, a Solutions-Focused Approach explores how things would be different if they were working well. It encourages a shift in thinking, and a new way of approaching challenges.

The Enactive Solution helps navigate this new perspective, to discover what’s working, to create and implement changes you want, and to consider what’s next.

The Solutions-Focused approach has been used successfully in:

  • Management
  • Leadership development
  • Conflict resolution
  • Branding and sales
  • Performance management
  • Project management
  • Agile development
  • Team and organisation development
  • Facilitation and coaching
  • Therapy
  • Education
  • Health and safety.

The Enactive Solution is the only endorsed Host Leadership Training business in Australia and New Zealand.
