The Five Disciplines of Leaders®

The Five Disciplines of Leaders™ is our framework for assessing and developing leaders.  The model defines the work leaders need to do to lead and manage their organizations and ensure enduring success. This model describes behaviors that can be taught, learned, and leveraged by all leaders.

Credible strategy

Create a Credible Strategy

Leadership is ultimately about influence, and influence requires a plan. Building a credible strategy requires the application of critical thinking and business knowledge to define priorities and plans to advance the organization.
Mobilize Stakeholders

Mobilize Stakeholders

Navigating organizational dynamics can be a bumpy ride. Leaders must be skilled and diplomatic in building followership up, down, and across the organization through communication, executive presence, and relationship building.
Winning teams

Build & Develop Winning Teams

Advancing your strategy requires you to have the right people in the right place, doing the right things at the right time. This means creating structure, enhancing capabilities, and providing the clarity needed to maximize team performance.
Drive results

Drive Results

This is where the rubber meets the road. Plans, networks, and structures must ultimately translate into results. Leaders enable execution through others and ensure effective outcomes through clear expectations and consistent management routines.
Evolve business

Evolve the Business

Change or be changed. Taking a leadership role in change means elevating the organization by evaluating trends, anticipating opportunities, and preparing others to manage through strategic shifts.
