For technical leaders
Nobody hands you the manual.
You were promoted because you deliver. Then the job quietly changed: the work is now other people, and the skills that earned the promotion are not the skills it runs on. You are learning that in public, with your credibility on the line.
The first two years
If several of these are true, you are in the Doer quadrant.
- You still do the hardest work yourself, because you are still the fastest at it.
- Decisions you know are right land badly, because the reasoning never left your head.
- Your one-to-ones are status updates, and you are not sure what else they should be.
- You were never shown how to give feedback that changes anything.
- Everything routes through you, and the week is the ceiling.
None of that is a character flaw. It is the predictable result of being rewarded for individual delivery for years and then measured on something else overnight.
How Amos works
Measure first. Then change one behaviour at a time.
Amos spent three decades as an engineer — pioneer Plant Integrity Assurance Manager at Nigeria LNG — while coaching the people doing the work. His method is the one you already trust professionally: take an honest reading, find the weak signal early, intervene deliberately, and build something that holds under load.
The Leadership Square plots you on two axes — communicating and doing — from 24 questions about visible behaviour. It takes about four minutes and ends with three specific things to change this month and a 30-day path, not a motivational speech.
From people he has worked with
“CFA's delivery was thought provoking, it reminded us on the power of integrity and raising kids with the consciousness of family values/classroom values. During the session, i began drawing up my family values that will guide our daily parenting. Participants also wrote that they were inspired by the Session Creating the culture of integrity in the classroom. A strong take home point: It is the value system you create in the classroom that will reflect on the students”
“I appreciate how CFA made me think through the problems myself to realize solutions instead of just making suggestions from his own point of view which may have been different from my reality.”
“The session was challenging and enlightening. I am grateful for CFA's support during the coaching session and subsequent follow-up afterwards”
