ConsultancyÂ
Black Olive Leadership provides expert leadership and organisational consultancy for organisations across the UK. We help you build the conditions for high performance, aligning your leaders, culture and capability around what the business needs next.
Performance is built on conditions that allow success
Plenty of organisations are busy. Far fewer are genuinely high performing. The difference is rarely effort, and it is rarely talent. It is whether the right conditions are in place for people to do their best work.
Our consultancy helps you find and fix what is really holding performance back. Sometimes that is a leadership team that is not aligned. Sometimes it is a culture that quietly rewards the wrong things, or capability that has not kept pace with the demands of the business. We help you see it clearly and build what is missing, so performance is the result of design, not luck.
The High Performing Organisation Framework
Our consultancy is built around our High Performing Organisations model: six human conditions that separate high performing organisations from the merely busy.
Purpose that pulls, a reason to work that people genuinely feel
Brave together, the safety and trust to challenge, admit mistakes and take smart risks
Collective genius, the ability to think and solve problems as one, not in silos
People at their best, the energy, clarity and focus that sustain real performance
Equipped to excel, the skills, tools and clarity of role to do the work well
Make it count, turning effort into outcomes that matter
We use the model to diagnose where your organisation is strong and where performance is leaking away, then help you build the conditions that need strengthening.Â

Who is our consultancy for
We work with the senior people responsible for organisational performance: people and HR directors, heads of learning and development, and executive teams and managing directors who want their organisation to perform at its best.
​
Our clients are often navigating change, growth, or the pressure to do more with the same. If you want performance that is built deliberately rather than left to chance, this is where we can help.
