Leadership Design
Leadership Model Design
Most big corporate organisations will have a leadership model so the question as to whether it is either fully understood by leaders in the organisation and effective in defining leadership or whether you actually need a leadership model in the first place must come to mind.
Why is it so important?
Leadership models are a set of phrases that guide leadership behaviour to ensure leaders have a shared understanding of what good looks like. The reason we need a leadership model so organisations can clearly define how leaders should act and so leaders can role model the behaviours expected.
Escape Convoluted Models
NeuroLeadership Institute conducted structured interviews with 20 HR and talent leaders, as well as a survey of 568 business and HR leaders across various organisations and industries to find that most leadership models tend to be long, convoluted, and difficult to remember, often consisting of dozens of complex and contradictory behaviours. Since they are not clear or memorable, they fail to successfully guide behaviour in critical leadership situations.
Research tells us...
NLI Research shows that only 38% of individuals take action on their models once or twice a week. 44% of companies have models with more than 20 behaviours! This may explain why only 17% of leaders find their models easy to remember and only 27% of individuals consider their leadership model meaningful!
Insights from Gartner, Korn Ferry, McKinsey & Co, Disruptive HR, NLI, Forbes all provide insight to the importance of ensuring you have a leadership model designed appropriately for your organisation and ensure it is simple, outcome based and meaningful.
Building Leadership Development Strategy
Once we have defined leadership for your organisation and created your leadership or updated an existing model we then look at building your leadership development strategy. This may include assessment of leaders for recruitment, capability or talent purposes or to gain insight to existing leadership capability. Based on this we can then provide innovative leadership solutions to meet your needs to develop leaders and future proof your leadership.
Why do you need a Leadership Model?
What Good Looks Like
Behavioural Expectations
What Good Looks Like
If leaders do not understand what good looks like for leadership how can they become effective leaders?
Shared Understanding
Behavioural Expectations

Therefore it provides leaders with a view of what good looks like that all leaders understand through clear leadership expectations.
