Leadership Development – A Strategic Core Competence at S A Partners

Five key members of the S A Partners team have recently been accredited to train individuals and organisations to a globally renowned Leadership Development standard that has provenance lasting over 30 years:

• Mick Moreton – Partner and Head of Leadership Development activities for S A Partners
• Robin Jaques – Partner and Head of our defence & Aerospace Sector
• Gary Griffiths – Partner and Account Manager for multinational clients
• Juliette Packham – Partner and Account Manager
• Alan Jones – Account Manager for multinational clients

Millions of people around the world have adopted this approach as the leadership model of choice to:

• Develop people, teams, and organisations
• Establish effective relationships that bring out the best in people
• Drive a common language of leadership in diverse work teams, across geographies, across functional groups, and at all levels within organizations

Because of its ability to help people excel as self-leaders and as leaders of others, the model is embraced by many of the world’s most successful organizations.

The model is recognised as both a business language and a framework for employee development that transcends cultural, linguistic, and geographical boundaries. Its foundation lies in teaching leaders to diagnose the needs of an individual or a team and then use the appropriate leadership style to respond to the needs of the person.

Because learning happens over time, the model covers a four-phase learning process:

Launch > Learn > Practice > Master.

Learners can hone new leadership skills in bite-sized learning activities, which leads to greater retention. Learners gain access to content outside the classroom, and the e-learning assets provide multiple learning resources for downloading and sharing back in the workplace.
