Overview
This is our flagship executive development programme at London Strategy Centre (LSC). In today's disruptive environment we believe leadership development programmes need to focus more on the outcomes of leadership (direction, alignment, commitment), rather than the inputs of leadership (leaders, followers and goals). The three essential outcomes of leadership as identified by research are:
- Direction - the agreement in the organization on overall purpose, goals and aims and their perceived value.
- Alignment - the organization and coordination of knowledge and work. This may involve formal structures, standardized processes, control and reward systems or informal collaboration, communication and teamwork.
- Commitment - the willingness of individual members to subsume their own efforts and benefits within the collective effort and benefit.
This programme features a natural connection between leadership, strategy and innovation that provides for a conducive culture in today's successful organizations.
Our mission at LSC is transforming knowledge into action. We like to emphasise leadership acts and practices (which become habits and norms) as well as leadership behaviours; this is at the heart of our approach. Leadership is best learned by doing it!
