“Elegant Leadership: a balance between people-pleasing responsiveness and a need to be
wise and right, which is fit for purpose and simple, clear and effective in its execution.”
To be elegant is to be simple, clear and effective.
Elegant Leadership offers a methodology for leadership
practice that is clear, simple and fit for purpose.
It brings intentionality to day-to-day leadership, identifies core behaviours that work well and provides a framework for stretching further.
Elegant Leadership is about finding a balance between the styles of pleasing people and needing to
be right. Using the ‘knowing–doing–being’ model of leadership, it promotes goal-setting and regular
reflection in the quest for self-awareness and insight into what works best in a given context.
Leadership involves more than knowing what to do in difficult times and big moments. Effective
leadership is often about the micro-moments, and is usually judged on the basis of small actions
that accumulate over time. Elegant Leadership contains an A–Z of keywords that promotes actions that are simple, clear and effective, and offers workspace for personal contemplation
