What Is Leadership Development?

What is leadership development?

It is a continuous journey of growth, which by its nature, stretches you outside of your comfort zone. 

It requires focus and commitment and support from others. Beyond just information it is an embodied or lived way of being - which requires degrees of personal change and practice. Like muscles, regular and repeated exercise is needed to develop the habits of the mind.

Leadership Is About Working With & On The Invisible

We tend to notice the visible and not the invisible (invisible forces happen to be the most powerful forces) – forces that come from emotions, beliefs and values.

Being an effective leader requires a deep understanding of your invisible forces as well as an ability to manage them.

Self-knowledge leads to a better understanding and appreciation of the people you influence and lead – this allows you to harness and integrate the most powerful forces of these individuals to achieve a common purpose.  

Effective Leaders Have An Empowering Peer Group To Learn With & From 

Leadership development is best done in a trusted peer development community where the power of multiple perspectives, experience and knowledge are leveraged.

It also provides an insight into what challenges other people experience which may empower you in leading your own teams.  

Business Leaders Roundtable groups are designed to leverage this peer group dynamic enhancing real-time learning and implementation in a safe and supportive environment.
