Or perhaps you are a maverick yourself?

We believe that developing leadership talent is an important competency to master if you wish to achieve the success and recognition that you deserve.

This website is for people that are interested in learning how to work with Troublesome Talent™ or why developing leadership talent is a must for mavericks, so that they can get the influence and the results that they want.

Mavericks are amazing people. Judith Germain defines mavericks as wilfully independent people. Mavericks are talented, truthful to the point of bluntness, visionary with an uncanny ability to exactly see the hole in the argument that is being presented to them, and how to fix it. Mavericks break rules, not out of spite but because the rules don't work. They are highly goal orientated, charismatic (if they choose to be), and will question anything and everything.

The common question posed by a maverick is 'Why?'

Mavericks do not compromise their standards to fit in, and therefore cannot be managed conventionally. Despite the fact that they often do not utilise their talents effectively, mavericks tend to be the top performers in companies and within business. Common traits of low boredom and impatience means that mavericks often have trouble articulating effectively what they want or what they mean.

This can cause high staff turnover, low morale and poor business performance within companies. If the maverick runs their own business they can depress their company's performance, by not focusing on their business (too busy working in it!) and by not building sufficient reputation and credibility to grow advocates and gain referrals.

These are a couple of the areas that Dynamic Transitions Ltd demonstrates its expertise, making a real tangible difference to the bottom line.


Would advice on developing leadership competencies make a difference to the way that you lead your team, or run your business?

Often companies are frustrated with the high staff turnover, low morale and inter departmental difficulties that they are experiencing, due to one individual in their company. They are fed up with the poor communication between their leaders and the rising dissatisfaction being expressed by senior management.

These individuals, Troublesome Talent™, are the type of people who are recognised as being a maverick - hugely talented but difficult to manage. They often complete targets and objectives with ease but cause enormous problems with colleagues and peers in the process. All the while being loved by the customer.

Over the years Dynamic Transitions Ltd discovered that there were common leadership issues faced within companies. These were:

We often get involved when the business loses patience and is faced with the dilemma - 'Do I sack or do I develop?' Sacking can be a very expensive option, not least due to the disruption to the business. Concentrating on developing leadership talent is the key. We enable the trouble to be taken out of the talent so that their maverick becomes less disruptive and more productive.

More and more companies are recognising the difference that great leadership can make to their performance. The most successful companies are the ones that realise that leadership over management is the way forward, and the best performing managers realise that developing leadership competencies is the only way that they are truly going to stay in the game.
