Coaching for leadership that matters
New Leipzig Talents encourages good leadership in business and society. Guided by the Leipzig Leadership Model,
the program enables participants to develop and reflect on essential leadership competencies.
Leipzig leadership model
New Leipzig Talents coaching is guided by the Leipzig Leadership Model (LLM). Following this model good leadership contributes to mastering grand challenges by helping individuals to grow, organizations to perform and society to flourish. It sees crisis as a source of learning and development.
The LLM encourages critical and continuous self-reflection along its four dimensions:
Purpose why and what for?
Entrepreneurial spirit how?
Responsibility how?
Effectiveness what?
The four LLM dimensions provide a holistic basis for orienting and framing leadership competencies: Where should I focus when I want to become a “good” leader? How do I best use my competencies without getting unbalanced and paralyzed?
diagnostics helping to provide insights
New Leipzig Talents uses the Leipzig Leadership Profile and My Competency Profile as reference points in leadership coaching.
