Why Choose Leader-Led Development § ‘So$ Skills’ are best learned by prac5ce, coaching and reinforcement § Leaders learn themselves by ‘teaching’ others – so that the leader is
developing coaching skills that can be applied in any domain § The ‘s5ckiness’ is reinforced because it is reinforced by the team and
creates a culture for cri5cal thinking § The delivery model was developed so that it does not need any pre-‐
training or cer5fica5on to deliver § We deliver the content through MindPops so that the leader focuses on
applica5on of the content to the work environment
