Increasingly, leaders need to create a supportive environment for diversity, inclusion and belonging. They also need to have a deep understanding of cultural diversity and the ability to fluently navigate intercultural differences.

John is a qualified administrator of the Intercultural Development Inventory which assesses leadership competencies to respond to intercultural differences.

In his book John shares the change process he has developed to support leaders and their teams make the changes they struggle with. Dr Gervase Bushe, Professor of Leadership and Organization Development at the Beedie School of Business at Simon Fraser University, has this to say:

“... this is not an overly simplistic recipe nor does it rely on only one or two perspectives. Instead, Sautelle draws from a wide variety of methods and perspectives, some of high academic quality, others long tested in practice, some of them recent breakthroughs in psychological research. He offers a personal integration that comes from decades of experience. It is a unique and creative piece of work that will enrich coaches and clients, regardless of how knowledgeable they are (or are not). I enthusiastically recommend it.”

Drawing on the field of Systemic Constellations work, John has created a coaching process which is particularly helpful for leaders dealing with complex challenges.

Through a physical mapping process key elements of the challenge are represented spatially, in effect making explicit the unconscious internal map a leader holds about the relationship between those elements. After gaining insights from mapping the existing relationships, different configurations can be explored to generate ideas for actions to test.

This process has been successfully applied to help resolve many individual, organisational and inter-organisational challenges.

In the world of 360° assessments, the Leadership Circle Profile is unique because it is the only assessment that measures Creative Competencies and Reactive Tendencies, combining leadership’s inner and outer attributes. This 360-degree assessment feedback gives the leader greater insight into how they are perceived, including strengths and current limitations in their leadership effectiveness.
