EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT MODEL
FOR LEADERS, MANAGERS & PROFESSIONALS
DEVELOP THE EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP SKILLS, COMPETENCIES & CAPABILITIES TO SUCCESSFULLY NAVIGATE THE MODERN WORKPLACE
In today's evolving workplace, the ability of executives and leaders to adapt, innovate, and maintain momentum amid the challenges of talent acquisition and retention, market volatility, and changing workplace dynamics is highly valued.
Unfortunately, despite the exponential growth in data, information, and knowledge, the future seems less predictable. Rapid technological changes, especially the rise of AI, are creating unprecedented levels of complexity and disruption, making traditional measures and metrics for success and achievement less reliable.
To help my executive coaching clients to tackle and overcome these emerging challenges, I've designed an Executive Leadership Development Model™. This model equips business leaders, executives, professionals, and entrepreneurs with the eight core competencies and capabilities needed to thrive and succeed in this new work landscape.
This Executive Leadership Development Model™ forms the core of my approach to Executive & Leadership Coaching. Please scroll down to learn more about each of its eight areas and how it can be applied in practice."
PURPOSE
As an executive or leader navigating a rapidly changing work environment, a clearly defined Purpose will drive your vision, commitment, engagement, and performance.
It will enable you to identify key sources of intrinsic motivation, adapt to the technological distruption, and inspire you to create enduring value through your work.
A clear sense of Purpose will also keep you focused when dealing with volatility, enabling you to stay on track, achieve success, a greater sense of fulfilment, and ultimately have the impact that you really want through your work.

WISDOM
Prioritising lifelong learning is a key attribute of successful executives, as it delviers the clarity and confidence to make sensible and informed executive, career and leadership decisions. Developing wisdom also involves a commitment to professional development, especially in understanding new technologies and their implications for your role and industry.
Your level of wisdom is determined by the depth of your executive knowledge & leadership experience, coupled with your ability to apply that knowledge & experience appropriately and effectively when required.
Self-Awareness and Life-long Learning are two key components of Wisdom, as they make it possible for you to make wise and informed life and career decisions, particularly when facing the challenges of VUCA.

People are influenced by credible, knowledgeable, and likeable experts and specialists. So, it's important that you're able to highlight your skills, knowledge, expertise, and the value you create, whilst also being likeable.
