Driving real behaviour change
LIW leadership development solutions equip leaders with the skills and mindsets necessary for meaningful, lasting behaviour change, empowering them to build positive work environments that enable business impact.
All LIW solutions are designed to achieve lasting impact by incorporating our core design principles—elements proven through research and experience to stimulate effective leadership development.
- Providing both horizontal and vertical development - We focus on both the skill-building (horizontal) and mindset-elevating (vertical) aspects of leadership development.
- Creating doing to learn experiences - We create learning experiences based on real work, real challenges, and the real conversations that leaders need to have, providing opportunities for them to practice and lead.
- Enabling the habit of experimentation - We focus on building the habit of consciously taking action to improve leadership impact. Creating a mindset of leadership practice, not leadership perfection.
- Facilitating the wisdom of the group - We enable group sense-making through conversation and experiential activities. There is no sage on a stage in our learning experiences.
We apply these design principles, to create custom solutions that reflect the specific needs of your leaders, operating in your specific context, driving your business results.
Effective leaders share many common behaviours: they coach effectively, provide meaningful feedback, inspire others, and help team members understand their role in contributing to the organisation’s success. Effective leadership fosters an environment where people can thrive. However, depending on where a leader sits in the organisation their role will require uniquely different approaches.
Drawing on nearly three decades of global experience and the latest research, we’ve identified three key levels of leadership within organisations: team leaders, leaders of leaders, and executive leaders. Each level requires distinct behaviors that, together, create the conditions for individuals, teams, and the entire organisation to achieve exceptional performance aligned with the intended business impact.
Team Leaders
Every team needs a great leader, with the ability to create an environment that fosters psychological safety, motivation and high performance.
Leaders of Leaders
Making the transition from leader of individual contributors to leader of leaders is a significant step. Prepare your leaders with new perspectives and skills to lead at a function level.
Executive Leaders
A leaders' ability to take a system wide perspective, building for the long term whilst balancing performance with business transformation is critical at the executive level.
High Performance Teams
Highly effective, connected teams directly impact the experience of work and are essential to business success.
