LWFWhy do some leaders fail to lead with integrity, protect stakeholders, or appropriately manage self-interest? We noted the terrible consequences of many high-profile leadership failures – for the leaders, employees, organizations, and communities. In 2004, Leadership Worth Following was founded to help chart a better path forward.
LWF studied the people, companies, and events involved in these leadership failures. As a result, we developed a new model, Worthy Leadership, that is anchored in 3Cs:
Capacity
The foundation of leadership performance that includes critically important skills, knowledge, and experience.
Commitment
The multifaceted passions and energies that propel leaders to extraordinary performance.
Character
The integrity, ethics, and courage to earn and maintain stakeholder trust, and to be accountable.
This innovative approach – backed by scientific scholarship and hands-on business expertise – is a clear framework to help organizations better assess and develop successful leadership. (Click here to read about the Worthy Leadership model in the Consulting Psychology Journal.)
