WHAT IS THE LEaD COMPETENCE MODEL OF LEADERSHIP?
more than ten years. We have surveyed over 1,000 managers and employees, collected and analyzed a wide range of data. Building on this, we have developed LEaD (Leadership Effectiveness and Development), a competency model for successful leadership in practice.
The scientifically proven model creates the foundation for evidence-based management diagnostics in leadership issues. The detailed analysis of the results generates the basis for our consulting services in conjunction with the development and implementation of targeted measures in the areas of management development and change management.
Digital change requires "ambidextrous leadership"
The ongoing digital change requires enterprises to maintain traditional processes for current day-to-day business, while at the same time implementing and continuously developing innovative digital business models. This places special demands on executives at all levels of management.
We have found that successful leaders are able to find the right scale between innovation and tradition and balance in the sense of “two-handed leadership”. Successful managers ensure openness, trust, networking and learning, while at the same time ensuring that processes are effectively accelerated and goals achieved. This balance of ambidextrous leadership is a great challenge and requires appropriate structures and processes as well as a corporate culture characterized by agility and a tolerance for errors.
For managers, two-handed leadership requires a good feeling for the environment, a high ability to reflect and motivation to learn, courage and willingness to take risks, as well as personal authenticity and credibility.
The LEaD Competence Model consists of five core competencies and 18 facets that make up successful leadership (move the cursor over the icons in the graphic above to learn more).
The team behind LEaD
The LEaD Competence Model was developed in close cooperation with the scientific community and with empirical evaluation in the sense of “Evidence Based Management”.
