Six Disciplines for Continuous Leadership Development - The LeadFirst Framework

Get More Than a Workshop. Get Continuous Leader Development.

Our processes, software, and leadership development program are all designed around a common set of best practices. Sixty-five of them packed into the six disciplines.

• The workshops teach them.
• The software applies them.
• The coaching reinforces them.

No more attending a leadership workshop to realize a year later that nothing has changed.

Six Disciplines leader development program is different:

• Leadership skills are applied to your business strategy not to theoretical case studies
• Workgroups participate as a group so they learn together
• Certified coaches help your teams stay on course throughout the year
• Post workshop follow-up is built into weekly, quarterly, and annual check-ins
• We benchmark proficiency before the workshop so you can measure progress
• All training is done on-site so there is no travel cost

Our Approach to Workshops

Designed to take concepts from ‘head to heart,’ each workshop exposes your team to short bursts of competency principles and then deep-dive exercises in small table groups.

• Led by your coach, a certified facilitator
• Everyone takes home an in-depth workbook.
• Every lesson begins with an engaging 10-minute principle video.
• Every lesson is driven home with 40-minutes of discussion and small group exercise.
• Post-event, every principle is reinforced by the software and coaching.
