Our leadership model draws on the idea of worldly leadership. Worldly leadership
places a high value on locally-appropriate leadership, rooted in context. Unlike global
leadership models, which look at the world from a remote perspective and try to find
common features, worldly leadership strives to understand the local context in depth
and engages with it accordingly.
Worldly leadership rejects the “one-size-fits-all” approach of a single standard of leadership applied everywhere. It challenges the idea that there can be a specific, predefined set of competences that improve leadership performance.
Worldly leadership recognises that leadership practice will look different in different contexts and can be developed through different perspectives. By learning to respond to the complexities of the wider world through how we behave as leaders, we build a strong foundation of leadership practice to use across our lives, in any role.
