LEADERSHIP TO THE FIFTH LEVEL

"I have spent 20 years in management in public, private and not-for-profit sectors. I have found the Leadership to the Fifth Level model the best 'framework' yet for practical application in the real world of work. It is easily recalled and applied to situations, but even better, is quickly understood and useable as a ready reference for my own actions as well as those of my leadership staff.”

David Lawrence, Sr. Vice President, Human Resources and Real Estate, for the American Cancer Society-South Atlantic Division, Inc.

This cutting-edge program uses research known as Constructive Developmental Theory to identify the leadership levels of individuals. These levels define the ways in which leaders understand and make sense of different situations, relationships, and their own behavior. The higher the leadership level, the better a leader is in engaging in behavior that produces sustainable solutions and the kind of results needed in an increasingly complex business environment.

To the Next Level

Leadership development using this approach can provide real developmental change in individuals and through them the organizations they serve. The process of facilitating real developmental change requires time and challenge. Turknett can work with individual leaders, high potentials, executive teams, or entire departmental teams. Participants build the awareness and the ability to unseat the status quo and grow as leaders to the next level. The approach is especially effective in situations where high-level leadership and a focus on the good of the organization are critical – for example, in mergers or in other times of rapid change.
