Level 1: Business Leadership
Level 2: Operational Leadership
Level 3: Personal Leadership

Introduction
The Pyramid Principle of Leadership is built on the practical skills required by businesses to ensure that corporate performance of the individual manager and staff are geared towards continual learning and growth for success.
The Pyramid Principle of Leadership categorizes the organization into the following dimensions:
Pinnacle refers to the leadership role of the organisation, which is responsible for the vision, strategy, stakeholder management and ensuring long term viability of the organisation. The primary role of this group of managers is to set the vision and blaze the path for the rest of the organisation to follow.
Operations refer to the heart of the organisation where the middle managers run the business. This is where they receive, process and deliver value to the customers and staff. Recruiting, motivating and enhancing the performance of teams are the primary roles of this level of management.
Personal refers to the individual staff that works as a member of the various teams in the organisation. This is the basic building block of the organisation. Only by embracing the appropriate values, cultivating the right habits and equipping them with the necessary skills can they become effective and productive team members who can ensure the success of the organisation.

Program Development
While our program outlines the methodology that can be used by the Managers at all levels in your company, the actual contents can be customized to your organisation’s specific needs. This, optional consulting approach to customize the contents to meet your needs, would be to:
Understand your business requirements
Map our methodology to your business processes
Identify the skill set required to perform the Leadership functions at the various levels in the organization
Develop a customized face-to-face training complemented by an e-learning platform to develop and sustain the skills required
Develop a closed loop performance management program from goals setting to performance appraisal and feedback
Use the above to identify training needs and develop the management team and staff accordingly
The above would be done through the following:
Review your overall business and management strategy
Interview key senior management, middle management, supervisory and executive staff
Observe and shadow your existing managers and executives to understand current standards of performance
Review your existing recruitment, career development and performance appraisal systems
Analyze your current training objectives and training needs analysis
Develop a customized case study and exercises based on the above analyses
The above will ensure that the final training materials developed will be suitable and appropriate for your management and staff’s training and will enhance their skills in the field. This length of this process is dependent on the availability of your management team and staff to meet us, and is likely to take 4 to 6 weeks per module. Once the above has been completed, we will be able to give our recommendations on what should be included in the various modules in the program. Once these recommendations have been accepted by the senior management team, it will take about 4-6 weeks to customize each of the training module in the program for your company.
