The Forton leadership development model
Leadership behaviours + styles + context = success
Build confidence, change behaviours
"Changing behaviour (what we do or say) is the most important challenge for businesses trying to compete in a turbulent world. The central issue is never strategy, culture or systems. The core of the matter is always about changing the behaviour of people."
Prof. John kotter - Harvard Business School
