Making Leadership Happen

While individual skills and behaviors are undoubtedly important, true leadership is about collective effort—what people do together. In essence, everyone within an organization contributes to leadership.

In this Masterclass, we will explore the true essence of leadership and how leaders can cultivate personal growth to enhance their leadership impact. Leverage CCL’s unique approach to development, known as Vertical Development. which refers to the expansion of a leader’s thinking capabilities, enabling them to think and act in more complex, systemic, strategic, and interdependent ways.

Key Takeaways:
  • Understand leadership as a social process that produces collective results.
  • Apply an effective approach to enhance leadership outcomes—Direction – Alignment – Commitment (DAC)
  • Explore and understand the vertical development framework.
  • Explain the relevance of the vertical development framework to complex leadership.
