Self Leadership International’s training and consulting programs are based on a competency framework. The framework is cognitive behavioural in that each aspect of leadership is examined in terms of the frames of mind and behaviours required to lead a successful organisation. Behaviours are benchmarked on a 1-5 scale allowing the leader to receive feedback and a development map in each area.

The framework allows flexibility to dovetail with an organisation’s existing competency framework and allows us to design programmes to address specific competencies and measure the success against pre-defined or custom-made benchmarks.

Before designing the leadership training it is essential to first evaluate the existing leadership competencies, this can be done using a 360 Assessment tool specifically created to measure leadership competencies, or we can analyse and utilise your existing 360 results and or employee or organisational surveys.

The leadership training, often in combination with executive coaching can then address competency gaps.

In this competitive climate of fast paced change, smart companies are developing leaders at all levels of their organisation's. Self Leadership International has had the pleasure to work with some top companies.
