My name is Ciarán Fenton. I advise leaders and their teams how to apply emotional intelligence and business processes to self-management using my proprietary model “The Fenton Model" ® I developed the model over ten years working with senior leaders and their teams in a wide variety of sectors. It has been used successfully by scores of chief executives, function leaders and non-executive directors. My view of the world of work is different from the mainstream. In my experience, the primary difficulty leaders face, stems from using outmoded models to solve 21st. century problems. They continue to personify organisations as if they were more than just a legal entity. They're not. They persist in viewing people at work as "human capital hires, direct reports and leavers" They expect to succeed without the support they need and which talented people in music, the arts and sport take for granted Viewing the world of work in this way led me to formulate the three core principles underpinning The Fenton Model ® Principle 1: People at work are unique small businesses, not human capital assets Principle 2: Organisations are coalitions of unique small businesses for brief periods Principle 3: Small changes in individual behaviour can solve most leadership issues I now advise leaders and teams in all sectors and at all major stages and career contexts: personal career crossroads/job finding; first 100 Days of a new role; start-ups; rapid growth and complex change environments; post-acquisition; and life after full-time work. The model works, and I have testimonials from individuals and organisations large and small. I also write and blog about work, and I speak and facilitate at conferences, workshops and off sites.
