Leadership Development Framework (LDF)
Please find below brief details of open programs in the UK and USA for the remainder of 2005 and 2006. Multiple organizational members and intact teams welcome.

Transforming Leadership: 3 day learning and development intensive
- 24th to 26th May 2006, West Dean Conference and Arts Center, Chichester UK
Aimed at those who play an active part in the development of managers and leaders in organizations - HR staff, internal or external consultants, change agents, recruiters and leaders who coach or mentor their own staff, as well as management academics. Blends learning about your own developmental frames with an in-depth exploration of how to use the LDF in support of high quality leadership development. Leads to authorization in the use of the Leadership Development Profile (only authorized users may commission profiles for others).
Leadership beyond the Conventional: 5 days in two modules with coaching between
- Offered only in single organizations or as a collaboration between two or more organizations
Aimed at practicing managers and leaders who confidently use their authority to deliver results; they have mastered the core skills of leading yet have an emergent sense that there is more to the art of leading than is currently within their grasp. Typically they want to explore what increased effectiveness might look like from a different perspective.
When Jim Collins (in Good to Great) carried out his research into 1450 companies and identified the 11 that had performed best over a 15 year period he discovered all 11 were led by leaders who were described as having ‘Strategic’ or ‘Alchemist’ action logics. This program develops a type of thinking and ability to learn from experience that is typical of these ‘post-conventional’ action logics. The key leadership issues of power, timely action, leading in a complex environment, language as a form of action and inquiry based learning are all addressed.
Leading Organizational Transformation: 3 day learning and development intensive
- 15th to 17th March 2006, West Dean Conference and Arts Centre, Chichester UK
- 12th to 14th June 2006, Babson Executive Education Center, Boston MA
Aimed at intact teams, multiple participants from a single organization and individuals in organizations with an OD brief and senior consultants working in the OD arena. The Organizational Transformation Workshop creates optimal conditions for intensive leadership, team and organizational transformation, based on 40 years of leadership research and practice by Bill Torbert, David Rooke and their associates (most recently presented in the April 2005 Harvard Business Review article ‘Seven Transformations of Leadership’). ‘Live’ organizational issues will provide the core of the program which seeks to enable participants to successfully lead ongoing personal, team and organizational transformation.
