Based Leadership
Ensemble Based Leadership™ is rooted in the tradition of Music and Theatre where a group of individuals join to create an ‘Ensemble’ the purpose of which is to direct and perform a story through Creative expression. As Corporations seek to develop leaders and employees who are effective storytellers with qualities of empathy, courage, adaptability and listening skills Ensemble Based Leadership™ provides a highly effective opportunity for ‘A-ha moments’ or ‘break-through thinking’ in this regard. ‘Ensemble’ implies creation not competition which the word ‘Team’ is closely associated with. In LionsHeart Leadership we create the opportunity to reveal a LionsHearted Story which ties in the value systems of individuals toward the heartbeat of the collective. Ensembles provide greater opportunity for driving innovation, creativity, happiness, break-through thinking, building consensus leading to an environment of Trust and building ‘Pride’ (Family).

It creates energy and commitment of purpose to goals and to the Pride
