Leadership Development

Leadership development is about shaping leaders who know how to build workplaces where people feel valued, respected and inspired to contribute their best. It recognizes that real leadership isn’t about authority, it’s about trust.  Through their behaviours leaders set the tone and example for trust, creating environments where differences are seen as assets and where people’s strengths are encouraged to shine. When leaders operate this way, they naturally drive engagement, productivity, and stronger business results because people feel connected to something that values them in return.

This development process is both reflective and data driven. Through tools like the Equitable Leader Assessment, organizations can measure and strengthen leadership behaviours across eight key areas: openness to difference, equitable opportunity, accommodation, dignity & respect, commitment to diversity & inclusion, knowledge of inclusion, change management, and ethics & integrity. These behaviours form the foundation of leadership that motivates people to stay, grow and perform, creating a culture of fairness, trust and accountability that sustains long term success.

The Equitable Leader ELA is a proprietary multi-source feedback instrument that measures one’s performance in the 9 core competencies of a fair and equitable leader. Developed in collaboration with Dr. Julie Carswell, Ph.D., this psychometric assessment provides organizations with a clear, evidence-based view of leadership behaviours that can influence outcomes in employee engagement, productivity, retention, customer satisfaction, profitability, and long-term value creation. By quantifying these perception gaps between teams and their leaders, the ELA gives organizations the insights they need to build trust, deepen belonging and strengthen the performance of their people. 

The ELA Aggregate GAP Analysis measures leadership performance against external benchmarks to provide a clear view of organizational strengths and vulnerabilities. By identifying the gaps between top- and bottom-performing leaders, it equips organizations with the evidence needed to design targeted strategies that close performance divides. The analysis not only highlights where development is most urgently required but also informs long-term leadership planning, ensuring equity-driven practices are embedded across the organization.

The Personal Equitable Leadership Development Strategy provides leaders with a structured, ongoing framework for growth and accountability. Built on assessment insights and tailored to individual strengths and opportunities, PELDS supports leaders in applying equitable practices consistently over time. With clear goals, guided development pathways, and accountability measures, it ensures leadership growth is sustained and aligned with organizational priorities, creating lasting impact for both leaders and their teams.
