Leadership Levers™

Building Critical Strengths Workshop

Published: April 8, 2019

Research on over 75 thousand global leaders across all industries shows that there are six critical capabilities, or "Leadership Levers," employed by those who produce extraordinary business results.

Becoming highly competent at just one of these critical levers catapults employees into the 72nd percentile of global leaders in terms of effectiveness. Building capabilities across just three of the levers moves employees into the 90th percentile of global leaders.

Leadership Levers: Building Critical Strengths is a one-day workshop that focuses on connecting the strategy and needs of the organization with employees’ strengths, energy, and passion, within the six leadership levers framework. This results in higher engagement, discretionary effort, and the business outcomes that matter most.

“Give me a lever and a place to stand and I will move the earth.”
