the Leading Edge

LeadEdge is network of like-minded professionals with deep expertise and business experience, committed to partnering with organizations.
We define your success as our success, and want to be held accountable for your results.

Leadership and Learning is indispensable to each other.

Why Us

We are a young company with a simple mission. For us, it started with some questions.

How might we create a high performance and compassionate culture?

How might we develop leaders that deliver results today and prepare the organization for the long term?

How might we create learning organizations that helps them rise up to adaptive challenges?

How might we make leadership and excellence more pervasive?

LeadEdge is a company focused on the science and art of shaping leaders and enabling high-performance organizations. LeadEdge was founded on the simple idea that leadership can be designed and that effective organizations are an outcome of deliberate strategic actions.

When employees share responsibility for success and take ownership of the results, they demonstrate discretionary effort and build stronger working relationships within the organization, because everyone is working toward a common vision. The outcome: breakthrough results. High performance is the natural outgrowth of a collaborative, high-trust business culture which maximizes the participation and involvement of people.

Leadership is what makes discretionary effort possible by harnessing the talent of people engaged in purposeful work. Leaders are vital for our future and well being in this turbulent world where assumptions outlive their usefulness at a dizzying pace.

We believe that leadership is an art and a science and that it is possible to discern underlying patterns and design approaches to create a perpetual leadership engine. Leaders are made not born.

This belief has inspired our driving purpose at LeadEdge…… helping our clients create this workplace of the future.

What we do

LeadEdge offerings focus on enhancing your business performance by developing the organizational and leadership capability to adapt and change.

We help you design and implement focused leadership frameworks and solutions aligned to your strategic goals. We help your leaders develop transformational capabilities and then help you design processes to put that learning into action and shape behaviour.

Combining our expertise in learning and development with our business acumen, we help organizations to discover key developmental needs. We help you design and implement solutions that deliver lasting change by leading the organization through our 5 step Learning Implementation Process.

We believe that breakthrough and sustainable results are only possible by addressing the complex system of organizational performance. Having a brilliant strategy without the organizational infrastructure to support it does not work. Neither does skill development, if it truly does not enhance the strategic depth of the organization. Strategy defines the agenda for change, and results are then the outcome of flawless execution.

All our services are built around the conviction that the role of the leader is to foster and accelerate change. Leadership development must be completely aligned to the strategic direction of the business and relevant to the context as well as the role.

Our focus, in addition to developing leaders, is to help alter your DNA and internalize capabilities for growth.

Successful leaders have edge

  • Effective organizations are where people possess clarity of purpose and awareness of direction at all times. Leadership is about uniting people around the purpose and connecting them with values in pursuit of sustainable results.
  • Leaders are the most vital components of the learning organization. Successful development creates conditions for setting leaders up for success.
  • Growth and development is not successful if it is just an initiative, but delivers impact only when it is part of the organizational DNA. Leaders teaching leaders is critical for sustainable development.
  • Leadership development is a process and not a series of events, that needs to be tied to business results. Leadership development must pinpoint and amplify the behaviors which will create success.
