Our leadership model
The LEAD-Q Leadership Program is an evidence-based and competency driven process of individual leadership development. Focused on building individual capability to lead and manage both people and processes, the program draws from psychological concepts to highlight the importance of transformational leadership.
LEAD-Q stands for LEADERSHIP EFFICACY AND DEVELOPMENT QUOTIENT and is supported by a comprehensive competency matrix which provides purposeful direction and allows leaders to measure their progress. Competencies have been mapped to AITSL Leadership Profiles and outline how to unlock leaders’ potential to perform at the highest level.
