Our approach is to help leaders see their own development as a lifelong process, a story that unfolds over time. A leader's story can be one of consistent improvement and ever increasing value to their organization. But this requires several necessary conditions. First, the leader must have a basic commitment to improving their skills. It must be supplied from within.
Most leaders are committed, but they often are unsure of how to move their commitment to action.
Second, they need concepts which help them see and understand their growth and development over time. One of the defining characteristics of the most capable leaders is their view of leadership development as an ongoing process. They have learned how to keep on learning. Third, they need a practical set of skills to apply in the workplace. These skills form a technology of influence that gives the leader specific behaviors and mindsets to apply day to day.
