The main idea behind this Science of Building Leaders research is that different aspects of leadership development occur at different points in an individual’s life. I have broken it into three key elements – Foundational Leadership, Emerging Leadership and Executing Leadership – which are further broken down into six other key areas. The key insights are as follows:
1. Foundational Leadership – this is a period where a person develops character. There are three key areas of character: moral, intellectual and performance character.
2. Emerging Leadership – this is a time where a person develops their identity including understanding their strengths, having a firm sense of values and understanding their purpose and their vision for their self. Once they are clear what these are, they start building competencies that enable them to achieve their personal vision and purpose.
3. Executing Leadership – this is a period of growth and execution. Leadership competencies, including decision-making, are enhanced and the individual either makes it or breaks as a leader. For those that make it, it leads on to a teaching and legacy phase where they “give back” by sharing their leadership Point of View (POV) via mentoring, teaching and knowledge transfer.
This is the summary depicted in a chart:
