Model the Way
Leaders clarify their values and live them in daily behavior.
- Clarify values by finding your voice and affirming shared values.
- Set the example by aligning actions with shared values.
The Leadership Challenge®: a global methodology for exemplary leadership
An assessment-based learning program that starts by measuring leader behavior, then turns the results into development, practice and coaching. Benaa Leadership delivers it as a Wiley Certified Global Training Partner.
How the program works
Learning starts from real data on leader behavior
Assess
Leaders rate themselves, and the people they work with rate them through LPI® 360.
Report
Each leader receives a personal report on strengths and growth areas.
Workshop and coaching
An interactive workshop and one-to-one coaching turn results into a plan.
Practice and measure
Leaders apply the plan with their teams, then we measure improvement.
The model
The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership® and the Ten Commitments
Five practices leaders use at their best, each with two commitments that turn it into daily behavior.
