The Influential Leader

Personal. Interpersonal. Organizational.

Our approach to leader development involves looking inward to prepare to lead individuals, teams, and the organization. 

Personal Mastery

Good leaders have well-developed self-awareness. They have explored and challenged their own thinking and have clarity about their values. They know how to put their values into action, especially in times of uncertainty and crisis. We recommend modules devoted to sharpening personal mastery in your leadership development curriculum.

Interpersonal Competence

Leadership is a communication-based activity. Interpersonal communication competence is foundational for leader success and is demonstrated in the most basic leadership tasks such as coaching, managing performance, dealing with conflict or negotiating with customers. Skill-building in interpersonal communication is the heart of leader development. 

 

Organizational Influence

Leaders are required to work across diverse parts of their organizations to get things done, often without direct authority. Learning to build networks, collaborate, and influence others is a critical leadership skill. These more complex competencies are difficult to develop in an off-the-shelf training program. The nature of the skills requires understanding the organizational environment and creating realistic practice opportunities and robust discussion.
