Six dimensions that define great leadership
The Leadership Equation
When your team falls short, how do you respond? Your answer reflects your leadership mindset. That mindset guides your behavior and how you treat your people. How you treat your people affects how they show up each day. And how your team shows up drives their performance and output.
In other words, the leader sets the tone, which is backed by research. Gallup found that managers account for at least 70% of the variance in employee engagement across business units. And employee engagement continues to decline, costing the world economy approximately $10 trillion in lost productivity in 2025. Taking a look in the mirror and examining what tone you’re setting as a leader can make a big impact on your team and your organization.
Join us for a free, one-hour webinar on Thursday, November 19, at 12pm EST. You’ll learn the deeper dimensions of leadership and how each one plays out in your daily leadership. You’ll leave with a clear view of how you lead today, areas of opportunity for growth, and practical ways to develop your team and help them succeed.

What You'll Learn
The leadership equation takes a deeper look at leadership, through six dimensions. Each one gives you a way to examine how you lead and how your people experience it.
- Belief: what you believe about people. Your assumptions about people’s ability, motivation, and potential shape how you lead them.
- Values: what you stand for. Values show up under pressure. What you consistently do, more than what you say, builds trust and respect.
- Relationships: how people experience you. How you respond to disagreement, mistakes, ideas, and bad news tells people whether they’re valued and heard.
- Development: what you build in people. Strong leaders grow people’s ability to think, decide, and solve problems on their own.
- Contribution: what you make possible. People want to know their work matters. When they have a voice, real influence, and meaningful work, they’re more likely to give beyond the minimum.
- Culture: what you create around you. Culture is what people learn to expect from what leaders model, reward, tolerate, and ignore.
This session turns each dimension into everyday behaviors, and you’ll leave with a framework for examining your leadership and answering questions like:
- What do people experience when I lead?
- Are people more capable because I lead them?
- Do people believe their voice and contribution matter?
You’ll also have time for Q&A.
