Opus cover

Is your senior leadership team fully aligned and ready for fast-paced change?

Even the most cohesive teams can find themselves derailed by the uncertainty of change. High workloads increase stress, changing priorities cause confusion and the frustration of unresolved differences of opinion creates tension and division in teams. Join thousands of leaders and teams who have already benefitted from revealing the hidden dynamics of their non-verbal behaviour and discover how you too can use it to align your team, reduce stress, increase understanding and resolve differences of opinion with more trust and transparency so your team:

  • Is full of vitality and vigour, excited about possibilities
  • Has clear objectives, pulling seamlessly together in one direction
  • Knows exactly what to think, say and do to get the best from each other

Drawing on a decade of Equine Facilitated Leadership to fine-tune the skills of leaders and teams, Opus reveals the 12 hidden dynamics that every team needs to make visible to achieve optimal team performance

One of the best books I have read on team performance.The client case studies at the start of each chapter were excellent.
Brilliantly illustrating an idea or point.
It was really refreshing to see some new thoughts around leading.
I particularly liked the 3 leadership positions which demonstrated that all teams play a leadership role. Just a different one at times.
If you want some practical and well presented learning on teams and high performance, this book is for you.

It’s the case studies that really bring this book to life. Jude’s work with leaders and teams using her team of rescue horses makes for fascinating reading and each case study helps the reader reflect on the model that Jude presents. The testimony from her clients really shows how transformational they have found the experience of working with the horses.

Jennison argues that it is a book for senior leaders, but I would suggest its appeal is broader and it is suitable for anyone working in, or leading, teams.
