A leader who doesn't know what's expected of them is a liability - sooner or later, you get confusion, hesitation and avoidable mistakes. But when you set clear expectations, each leader knows where they stand, what's at stake and what it takes to succeed and drive growth at your organization. That is the foundation for true accountability and alignment.
Our Leadership Capability Strategy helps identify and embed the right skillsets across your leadership.
Services include gap analysis, leadership capability model refresh/development, roadmaps for leadership development, and implementing interventions and programs.
Failure to codify critical leadership qualities can create unexpected challenges that slow down growth. Commons signs are lack of strategic thinking, leadership actions misaligned with company policy, and buy-in issues with business transformation projects.
Focus on the wrong leadership qualities leads to decisions and leadership behaviors that threaten business goals. Common signs are sustained problems with growth or share price, weak leadership talent pipelines, and misalignment between internal teams.
In leadership, you don’t leave things to chance. You don’t guess, you don’t hope - you make sure. A systematic, evidence-based approach means you build strength where it matters, develop the right people, and prepare for the eventualities. Without it, you’re gambling on your organization's future - a rash move, especially in today's context. You want leaders who don’t just rise to the occasion, but who are made for it.
GAP ANALYSIS
Comprehensive assessment of leadership capabilities and their fitness to support strategic objectives Informed by your current situation, context and strategic objectives, we benchmark current performance against the ideal. The analysis reviews potential and performance, internally and by comparison to external leadership skillsets and trends in leadership competences. Through aggregated psychometric analysis, structured stakeholder interviews and workshops, we pinpoint critical gaps and underutilized strengths, and use root-cause analysis to drive targeted insights for improvements where they matter most. The output informs leadership strategy, leadership development roadmaps and curricula, LCMs, and culture development.
LEADERSHIP CAPABILITY MODEL (LCM)
Refresh/development of the organization's codification of critical leadership strengths
We leverage understanding of your company's DNA and ambitions, to prioritize the leadership qualities required to lead your organization into the future. Providing clear descriptions and measurable proficiency levels, our leadership capability models set clear expectations for leaders, enabling career advancement and providing a solid foundation for cohesive, highly-focused decision-making and headway across the organization. The output informs leadership strategy, leadership development roadmaps and curricula, culture development, and aspects of the people cycle and employee lifecycle.

learn more about OUR METHODOLOGYThe multinational consumer packaged goods conglomerate had transitioned to a new CEO. There was impetus to evaluate leadership capabilities to ensure leadership was ready to drive the next chapter of growth. Technological knowledge and hard-to-assess, emerging skills were high on the agenda. The company requested that we conduct a gap analysis of their leadership capabilities. It also wanted to update its leadership capability model and global leadership development strategy.
