Many leadership models are from the perspective of one that is at the top of the organization or unit and fail to consider situations where we are accountable to a leader and for those we lead. This is often referred to as “leading from the middle” and requires a unique skill set.
There are two groups that are likely to experience this leadership dynamic and benefit from this model the most. Student leaders in the higher education setting and middle managers in the workplace environment. Our model is adapted to cater to both of these audiences.
The Fourward Leadership model brings various elements together including both internal and external factors. We present the Four Wards of Focus and the Four Identities that inspires a path toward leadership success.
Note: For proprietary reasons, the model is not shared on this site. However, we are excited to talk with you and share more details in a brief consultation call, including how the model can be used to bring the best out of your group!
