2 What is Collaborative Leadership? Collaborative Leadership is a systems approach to individual, team and organizational transformation. Collaborative Leadership develops meaningful and productive connections to create leaders, teams and organizations that move forward to meet the complexities of 21 st Century Leadership. Focusing on experiential development of skills and competencies, we engage ideas, drive and actions to create more whole human beings to thrive in increasingly complex leadership challenges. We create conditions for meaningful conversations and offer precise feedback that is game changing for individual, team, and organizational development. Coaching, facilitation and assessments help leaders develop the capacity and consciousness to achieve greater success through Collaborative Leadership. By integrating multi-disciplinary research into our work, implementation increases well-being in the whole person and the whole system.

3 Our Approach Leadership Development is a process, not an event. There is no single event, workshop or weekend that will make less effective leaders more effective. Rather, leadership development is a focused process over time to create lasting leadership behavior that results in culture change. Our approach is about creating lasting impact and change in leadership and your culture. Our approach creates more collaboration and more effective leadership to support changing your culture from great to greater. Leadership is about creating individual and collective outcomes that matter to your leaders and your organization. Collaborative and effective leadership is about accomplishing more while expending less energy, using fewer resources (human and other resources) and finding creative and innovative approaches. This requires a capacity of leadership based on effective competencies.

4 An Unprecedented Time of Ambiguity, Complexity and Pace of Change. The 21 st Century is an unprecedented time of increased ambiguity, complexity and rate of change. The leadership imperative in this time is Collaborative Leadership. The ideal of the solo heroic leader is becoming a relic of the past. Responding to the 21 st Century level of complexity requires the coordinated efforts of highly cohesive and effective teams. Collaboration in business today is a survival trait not a buzzword. Forbes writer Joshua-Michéle Ross Collaborative Leadership is connection-based, conscious leadership that builds the capacity of leaders to lead and thrive in ambiguity, complexity and increasing pace of change. Collaborative Leadership is built on a platform of self-awareness. And builds strong relationships that drive productive connection.

5 Structure Determines Performance Collaborative Leadership is a result of the capacity of leaders. Capacity of leaders is determined by the structure of their individual operating system built on a platform of self-awareness. Mastering leadership comes with Mastery of Self. Our approach to leadership begins with awareness of Self both in individuals and teams. Underlying Beliefs and Assumptions Drive Behavior Our assumptions about ourselves, others and about how the world works make up powerful structures in our lives, one that can help us or hold us back in creating the outcomes that matter most to us. Underlying beliefs and assumptions drive our behavior, often unconsciously and contrary to the outcomes we are trying to achieve By examining underlying beliefs and assumptions, as a team and as individuals, we are able to impact the underlying structure to make us more effective leaders.
