Leadership Development
The Leadership Challenge has become a widely used framework for leadership development and is employed in various organizational settings. Kouzes and Posner argue that these five practices are not reserved for a select few but can be learned and developed by anyone aspiring to be an effective leader. Leaders are at their best when they:
-
Leaders establish principles concerning the way people (constituents, peers, colleagues, and customers alike) should be treated and the way they should pursue goals. Leaders create standards of excellence and set an example for others to follow. They put up signposts when people feel unsure of where to go or how to get there. Leaders create opportunities for victory.
-
Leaders passionately believe they can make a difference. They envision the future and create an ideal and unique image of what the organization can become. Through their magnetism and persuasion, leaders enlist others in their dreams. They breathe life into their visions and get people to see exciting possibilities for the future.
-
Leaders search for opportunities to change the status quo. They look for innovative ways to improve the organization. In doing so, they experiment and take risks. Since complex change threatens to overwhelm people and stifle action, leaders set interim goals so that people can achieve small wins as they work toward larger objectives. Effective leaders unravel bureaucracy when it impedes action. And, because leaders know that taking risks involves mistakes and failures, they accept occasional disappointments as opportunities to learn.
-
Leaders foster collaboration and build spirited teams. They actively involve others. Leaders understand that mutual respect sustains extraordinary efforts. They strive to create an atmosphere of trust and human dignity. They strengthen others, making each person feel capable and powerful.
-
Accomplishing extraordinary things in organizations is hard work. To keep hope and determination alive, leaders recognize the contributions that individuals make. In every winning team, the members need to share in the rewards of their efforts, so leaders celebrate accomplishments. They make people feel like heroes.

The S.A.F.E.T.Y.™ assessment ranks and quantifies your brain’s S.A.F.E.T.Y.™ needs and explores the potential impacts of your profile on you and those around you.
Much, if not all of our motivation and behavior is driven by our brain’s nonconscious need to feel safe. When our brain is triggered into a threat state our cognitive functioning is compromised increasing our susceptibility to emotional, impulsive, irrational thinking and behavior that decreases our ability to think and perform.
The S.A.F.E.T.Y.™ Model describes six domains of threat or reward that are important to the brain: Security, Autonomy, Fairness, Esteem, Trust and You. Understanding the needs, rewards, motivations, biases and stress triggers of each domain can provide valuable insights into yourself and others and help improve interactions, teamwork and productivity.
