ABOUT

DYNAMIC LEADER DEVELOPMENT

Developing leaders is our core focus because of the significant multiplier effect a great leader can have on their teams and organization.

We believe that Leaders need to be dynamic in order to keep up with today’s constantly changing, fast-growth and fast-disruption world. And leaders need to go first in prioritizing and sharing their own developmental hurdles and victories in order to create a culture of growth and the safety required to engage in it.

We also believe that the Process of leadership development itself should be dynamic - in other words engaging and interesting, and responsive to changing market and cultural conditions. Management and leadership are far too important and complex to be reduced to a set of lecture-based informational trainings. As Robert Kegan puts it “in the world of L&D (Learning and Development) there’s too much L and not enough D.” A static check-list of best practices is not dynamic enough to support today’s leaders.
