“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

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)

“Wow! I can see my way forward” “Everyone should do it”

“Inspirational” “I learnt more in 3 days than in years”

“Exceeded expectations, haven’t been to such a workshop in many years”

“This workshop was amazing. I learnt a lot about my strengths- weaknesses and how to assess and lead a team”
