The pervasive macro and micro conditions extant at the beginning of the 21st century have forever changed the roles and responsibilities of today’s leaders.

Contemporary understanding about leadership today acknowledges the new conditions and the new requirements for leaders at this time in human history. We have captured the essence of this expanded understanding in our leadership development framework that:   

• Reintroduces ethics and values into the leadership role
• Recognizes that different challenges require different types of leadership approaches
• Balances competition with collaboration and cooperation
• Incorporates emotional intelligence as a core competency
• Accepts diversity in a leadership team and a workforce as a vital asset, not a liability
• Uses engagement and involvement rather than brute force to bring about change
• Acknowledges that people are an organization’s, community’s, or nation’s most important asset

The sole purpose of our leadership development framework, Effective 21st Century Leadership™ ,is to give a current leader and a leadership team a clear understanding of what effective leaders actually do to reach their goals. We have synthesized our insights into a practical, usable development framework of seven essential leadership aspirations.

The context for our clients’ development is their own organization’s unique strategic and operational challenges. Our leadership support is delivered through issue-specific engagements, one-on-one consultations, and tailored in-house leadership development programs. All of our delivery methods incorporate real-time learning assignments, followed by review and feedback sessions.

Individual Leadership Development We work one-on-one with men and women who are currently in leadership positions to help them create a leadership development plan based upon our Effective 21st Century Leadership: The Seven Aspirations. We support them through one-on-one sessions and use e-learning tools that allow each person to incorporate a unique development plan into daily work responsibilities.

In-house Leadership Development Programs Responding to requests to make our leadership development resources available to middle managers as well as senior leadership, we will create customized in-house leadership development programs for a select group of clients. To this end, we collaborate with a company’s internal human resource professionals to a create customized, formal leadership development program based on Effective 21st Century Leadership: The Seven Aspirations, that will remain after we are gone. This intentional knowledge transfer allows for cost-effective expansion of the program across business units and deeper into middle management. This is our commitment to sustainability.
