When founder Richard Barkey started Imparta in 1997, the goal was to provide an antidote to an industry that was – and remains – focused on delivering events rather than results.
Take leadership decisions in our Strategy Simulation.
Imparta CEO, Richard Barkey, raises questions all business leaders should ask.
Individuals in leadership roles need to demonstrate a set of core skills as part of ‘making things happen’ in their areas of responsibility…. whether they are the CEO or a line manager.
Helping to develop the organisation’s objectives and set its strategic direction, will require them to draw on strong problem solving skills to assess issues and options, leading to cohesive decisions to drive the business forward. Deal with the changes frequently forced on organisations by dynamic markets will also demand the personal qualities required to accept incoming information and be ready to flex and adapt if needed.

The real measure of a Leader is how well they achieve their objectives by inspiring others to action, and by acting as a role model, fostering a sense of belonging, creativity, and participation amongst those they work with. They develop the organisation’s ‘people assets’ by identifying what personal characteristics and behaviours are needed – in themselves and others – to build competitive advantage. Where gaps in capabilities are perceived, the leaders’ key role is to find the most appropriate ways to build capability, and search out appropriate best practice or ‘next’ practice and processes to improve performance.
