The Leadership Alignment Model

Leadership is about doing, and is apparent only through the realm of Action. Fine words, statements of importance and corporate communication strategies count for little compared to the visible behaviour of the most influential people in the organisation, those who already occupy the role of leaders. Those who are interested can study leadership, and it can be trained in those who wish to improve their own performance. We can select those with experience and spot those with potential. Yet the test of leadership is more than a tick in the box for leadership competence. Leaders need to do more than occupy high office and wield their power. Effective leadership is an activity, and one which requires an alignment of action with attitudes and purpose if the desired results are to be obtained.
