Introduction

Leadership models and theories are not in themselves a solution, but a tool to help develop understanding or a common language. Remember these are only tools, an over simplification of a view of reality in a given context. Tools come and go like fashion.

While we list a great many here, please ensure you research any tool or model prior to applying it in your organisation.

As a consultant & change agent I have used many of these leadership and business models to develop clients understanding of basic principles.

Remember they are tools, valuable tools. Only use a model if it appropriate to the situation, any model is only a representation of a concept, reality is always much more complex and involves more dimensions than a simple model can infer, but none the less a great place to start.

All models are equally valid and invalid – for a leadership or business model to be effective we need to understand the context in which it was developed and implemented. Just because a model works in one organisation in one sector does not mean it will work in all organisations in that sector… remember a model is just that… a model.

KNOWLEDGE ->UNDERSTANDING -> ACTION
