The LEAD™ journey follows a connected sequence: PROFILE → ALIGN → MATCH → SHADOW → REFLECT → DEVELOP.
Profile and align
Stage I establishes the participant’s current leadership-development position, readiness for increased responsibility and intended development destination. The combined profile informs a recommended pathway; it is not a simple percentage-to-pathway calculation.
Define development priorities
Stage II asks what the participant specifically needs to develop to practise leadership effectively at the level represented by the recommended pathway. It informs a personalised development pathway and shadowing priorities.
Match, shadow, reflect and develop
Approved mentoring environments are matched for developmental value. Structured observation, mentoring, reflection and follow-through connect insight to workplace action. Placement is subject to authorised programme and partner approval and is not automatic.
