Legitimate Leadership

Legitimate Leadership helps leaders at every level to transform their organisations through applying the Legitimate Leadership model (encompassing the two key criteria: Care and Growth). A Legitimate Leadership intervention delivers the following organisational outcomes: Legitimacy: The collective leadership of the enterprise is seen to be legitimate and to have the support of the majority of its employees to being led by it. Trust: Employees throughout the organisation are convinced that both those they report to as well as their colleagues have their best interests at heart, and therefore they trust them. Contribution: The average employee is committed to the organisation’s objectives and is willing to make an above-and-beyond contribution to realising those objectives. Accountability: Less than the best performance by people is not tolerated, as evidenced by the fact that at all levels employees take accountability for, and are held accountable for, their contribution. A Legitimate Leadership intervention is applicable in any organisation where employee contribution makes a difference to the excellence of the organisation. Whether an intervention is applicable is not a function of what the organisation does, nor where it is located. The Legitimate Leadership Model has been successfully implemented in diverse contexts, both in the public and the private sector, and in countries across the globe. Legitimate Leadership interventions enable a fundamental shift from “taking” to “giving” at work realising transformed leaders, employees, teams and life at work for people in organisations. Legitimate Leadership Clients include large and small organisations across various industries. In fact, any organisation which can benefit from engaging the contribution of its people. The model has been applied in over 26 countries on five continents in the past 25 years.
