Whereas an organization’s mission, vision and values form the DNA of a company culture, RedBikeHRD firmly believes that leadership development is the cement that connects this DNA with institutional knowledge, memory and legacy that drives corporate behavior.
We liken leadership development to the construction of the great Egyptian pyramids, which were built on wide, stable foundations. Upon these foundations, each pyramid rose stone by stone and brick by brick into the structures that still stand today — almost 5000 years after their original construction. Within these pyramids lie the historical and cultural legacies of Egypt’s early rulers and is a foundational element of modern Egyptian history and culture.
A well designed, developed and delivered leadership development program can help drive the future history and cultural legacy of an organization.
| Who? | For organizations seeking to develop current or next generation leaders aligned with company mission, vision, values and strategy so that they are prepared to lead in a rapidly, ever-evolving business environment. |
| Why? | At its core, there are three types of leadership styles: (1) authoritarian leadership, (2) participative leadership and (3) delegation leadership.
The question then becomes whether leaders are born or made? Regardless of that ascription, leadership boils down to five key traits:
Taking natural tendencies into account (authoritarian, participative, delegation leadership style), the goal is to align these different, natural leadership styles into the leadership culture of the company. |
| What? | This leads to the next question: How to harvest or develop and inculcate these traits in future leaders?
The key consideration in leadership development is choosing a model for which to cultivate these future leaders, which needs to be aligned with organizational mission, vision, values and strategy while also allowing individuals to play to their natural styles and strengths. The most effective approach is to identify which of the most common 16 leadership development frameworks below align best with organizational culture and utilize one or two as the foundation of a leadership development program:
