Our driving belief
Leadership is the world’s biggest challenge and opportunity
Prosperity and positive progress depend on the competence of leaders at all levels.
The importance of leadership can’t be overstated. Leadership is about sustainability or extinction; wellbeing or suffering; equality or inequality; thriving or starving; respect or hatred; and life or death!
It’s up to each of us to invest in our leadership capabilities, so we can better contribute to our success, wellbeing & positive impact, and that of our stakeholders, the wider community and the planet in our different roles.
The big challenge we all face
We all have ‘iceberg views’ of ourselves, others, organisations and the wider community & planet.
The amount that is seen below the waterline depends on our levels of internal and external awareness and understanding.
Our ‘iceberg’ views make it hard to improve our own and collective leadership, and to see the impact of our actions.
Our purpose
To support people, at all levels, to be the Best Possible Leaders they can be…
...so that they can better enable success, wellbeing & positive impact.
Where...
...a 'Leader' is a person who effectively enables and contributes to the success, wellbeing & positive impact of self, others, organisations, and the wider community & planet.
...and 'Best Possible' is about doing all that is possible and maximising what is available.
We are all leaders
Throughout our lives, we all have and take on lots of different roles.
Leadership (enabling success, wellbeing & positive impact) takes place through our different roles in our personal and work lives – formally and informally.
What being the Best Possible Leader is all about
It’s thinking about and actioning ways to better enable success, wellbeing & positive impact through our different roles.
It involves:
Increasing our understanding of what success, wellbeing & positive impact mean to us and our different stakeholders. Which includes, better defining the future and world we and our stakeholders want to build, shape and contribute towards.
Increasing awareness of and leveraging the enablers to achieve our desired success, wellbeing & positive impact, and aiding our stakeholders to achieve theirs.
Increasing visuality of and addressing constraints that get in the way of achieving. Plus, being able to identify and address common human frailties and phenomena that can unintentionally lead to poor leadership and derail us.
Being the Best Possible Leader integrates with lots of different leadership and role-specific models
The Best Possible Leader concept has been designed to integrate with lots of different leadership and role/task-specific models.
The concept looks at the whole person – across our different roles & tasks in our work and personal lives.
When we think about whether we are being the Best Possible Leaders we can be, we can look at different leadership and role/task-specific competency models, including our employers’.
