“We understand that leadership development is
not an overnight fix but a journey and one which
requires the organisation, participants and
Extraordinary Leadership to work in partnership
to deliver the right environment and input for
learning.   Extraordinary Leadership share this
philosophy and have been a “true” partner
investing in the development of our current and
future leaders.   The feedback from participants
has been overwhelmingly positive with people
often citing these programmes as the best they
have ever attended”
EVP HR, Telecommunication
¨Extraordinary Leadership has been an enormous
help to our business ... has helped transform our
senior management team within one of our
largest divisions, from a group of
underperforming individuals into the highest
performing leadership team within our
organisation. Without this help we would not be
where we are today as a business¨
VP, International Recruitment
Some Principles of Extraordinary
Leadership & LeadNow!
3
We are all unique individuals – the way you and I lead most effectively will be
different!
Knowledge and skills are not enough – leadership must be addressed experientially
at the level of values, beliefs, and purpose
All leadership begins with leadership of self
True leadership integrates the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual dimensions
The quality of Leadership determined by quality of Awareness, Connection and
yourself Transformation (the ACT of leadership)
Leading others is about enabling, not doing
Leaders at all levels need to be empowered to respond to events in a “VUCA” world
Leadership development is about human value as well as organisational value
Lord Young’s Report to UK Parliament
4
Prime Minister,
“…Only a few years ago the
definition of a small firm was one
employing fewer than 500: today
95.5% of firms by number in this
country employ fewer than ten.
The skills sought by companies … were
in those days typified by team sports
and conformity and that is what the
school system was encouraged to
deliver. The world of those now
leaving education will be one in
which self-reliance and creativity
will be rewarded and the education
system will have to adapt.”. (June
2014)
