Adapt Grow Achieve: Equip Yourself for the Challenges of Leadership
The world needs better leaders – and we want you to be one of them. In this short, practical book, authors Neill Thew and Trevor Cousins share their three step process for helping leaders become more effective at achieving positive change.
The Adapt, Grow, Achieve approach uniquely pays equal attention to both the outer and the inner work. Our approach draws both on our own experience, and on the best-evidenced theory and practice drawn from the fields of leadership, coaching, adult development and learning.
To help equip you to face the challenges of your leadership, Adapt, Grow, Achieve is filled with immediately applicable strategies and tools and illustrated with examples of real-world leadership success.

Cru Values
Innovative
Cru’s Adapt Grow Achieve approach to leadership development is an original, evidence-based synthesis of theory and practice. We draw from the best work in leadership, coaching, adult development and adult learning. Unlike many approaches to leadership, the Cru process supports both your ‘outer work’ of exercising effective leadership and your ‘inner work’ of building greater personal capacity.
Personal
Cru’s Adapt Grow Achieve process understands that developing your capacity for leadership will stretch your emotions as well as your mind. When you work with us, we want you to feel fully seen, known and understood.
Bespoke
Cru’s Adapt Grow Achieve process is highly sensitive to your context and aspirations. You’ll work with us in real time on your own organisational and professional challenges. We don’t believe that generic, cookie cutter solutions to leadership development are effective for today’s complex leadership challenges.
