WHY TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP
Transformational leaders value the diversity and individual potential of each team member and they challenge and develop them to achieve their best potential and attain performance that goes beyond their perceived capabilities.
Not only do they understand the strengths and weaknesses of each team member, they also have an increased understanding of their own dominant patterns, fears and vulnerabilities. This empowers them to take responsibility and lead beyond their immediate self-interests which improves the overall performance and elevates the maturity of the team.

A transformational leader knows and understands
that their 'external' challenges are closely related
to their own 'internal' personal characteristics.
They are also aware that their team can only progress as they themselves work on those changes required internally in themselves.
Inner Leadership supports you to develop new insights by developing your awareness of your potential. We build those focus areas which are critical to your transformation. It enables new breakthroughs in the management of conflict, effective delegation, and expansion of communication skills as the most common areas of need.
THE BENEFITS
Teams led by a transformational leader tend to be successfull and promote a culture that is open and based on mutual respect and trust. This has a positive effect on the attitude and the well-being of the team members as also for the organization as a whole.
Transformational leaders encourage their teams to go beyond their boundaries and comfort zones providing learning opportunities. They create safe spaces where making mistakes is seen as essential elements of a development journey. Employees feel like they are making a valuable contribution towards their organizations, resulting in improved employee satisfaction, higher engagement and retention.
