Strategic Leadership Development™ (SLD) is a comprehensive development process for leaders and future leaders. It enables the top team to identify the behaviours needed to create a leadership culture aligned with your strategy. Because there is no one 'right way' to lead in all situations, nor in all organisations, this process enables you to select the template of leadership practices that is right for your organisation.

SLD offers:

	A complete development structure for leaders and senior managers
	A highly effective change process which addresses all the key issues
	Links business objectives with the specific leadership practices needed to achieve them
	A process grounded in a technically superior research-based model of effective leadership practices
	Makes your leadership expectations clear and credible
	Measures behaviours which can be changed and developed
	Provides measurable results

There are six steps involved in the SLD process

This process makes use of Leadership 360, a powerful and well-researched 3600 on-line questionnaire based on a generic leadership model that has been used world-wide by many organisations. It is a normed instrument with a large international norm base, and so it allows your managers to bench-mark themselves against other managers and leaders in other organisations.

The leadership model used in SLD is the outcome of lessons learned from 35 years of research and more than 25,000 assessment based profiles of leaders across a wide range of industries, organisations, roles, and nationalities. It comprises 22 behavioural leadership practices grouped under the six core leadership functions of:

	Creating a Vision
	Developing Followers
	Implementing the Vision
	Follow Through
	Achieving Results
	Team Playing
