Who we are

Leading Stratagems was formed in 1994, by Executive Director Cathy Grant [See profile PDF], initially to partner with leaders as they  explored new strategic initiatives in emerging markets in business and professional services. The firm grew to focus on leadership strategy and development about ten years ago as clients  sought to build organisational capability in a competitive market for quality executives.

Today, much of our coaching and leadership development addresses the challenges of change and adaptability,  the need for executives to quickly assimilate to new environments and organisational cultures, and to create early impact in new roles and market conditions.
