Executive Search, Leadership Development & Culture Change for Purposeful Business
"Strengthening teams by finding and developing brilliant leaders"
"Intuition through experience. Delivery through commitment"
Imagine an organisation strong enough to thrive in spite of market challenges. Imagine a leadership team that inspires a culture of profitable engagement and responsibility across the organisation, contributing towards a better world and creating a business that’s fit for the future. We call this ‘Sustainable Leadership’.
Leadership is at a major inflexion point. In these increasingly uncertain times, businesses need leaders who can ensure certainty over the future of their organisations. Sustainable leaders are leaders who understand the importance of long-term strategic direction and who know how to join the dots between responsible business practice and profitability.
Sherrington is an award-winning executive search and leadership development specialist. We transform cultures by diagnosing and developing culture programmes, then coaching and recruiting senior leaders aligned to our client’s values and purpose.
