    The V|E|C|T|O|R promise
    Leadership is neither born nor bred! It's planned. And, you do that here!
    Leadership is born ...
    Assumption

    You inherit leadership skills along with your blue eyes and athletic figure

    Problem

    How come so many children of great leaders are anything but?

    And, how come seemingly "natural" leaders don't always succeed either?

    Leadership is bred ...
    Assumption

    You watch what good leaders do, you read all the books, you learn the tricks

    Problem

    Why do so many people still not succeed; or, succeed in one role but not the next?

    Leadership is planned ...
    Assumption

    Business situations vary and so do the people you need to lead, so plan for each situation accordingly

    Problem
    (if you don't plan)

    You'll fall back on your default approaches (whether born or bred), which may work in one situation but not another

    So, the V|E|C|T|O|R Leadership® promise ...
    Assumption

    You want to succeed as a leader both today and tomorrow, and in different situations and with different people

    Our recommended ACTION

    Develop a Leadership Action Plan - specific to today's situation and people

    Update (or re-plan) in the future, as necessary, to meet future needs

    V|E|C|T|O|R resources
    V|E|C|T|O|R is different
    First ... some FACTS
    • Follower-driven: finding out what they need - not pursuing theory or generalised guidelines
    • Action-oriented: producing a plan - not a label, evaluation, or critique
    • Cost-effective: saving effort and money - real-time online, not needing external processing or interpretation
    • Total view: integrating across "hard" and "soft" issues - not just focussing on one or a few aspects
    • Simple and flexible: asking questions and offering prompts - not prescribing answers or what is right or wrong
    Second ... V|E|C|T|O|R fills a market gap
    Our own experience - and, in 2005, an online survey - of leaders and leadership resources indictates that
    • For senior leaders in large corporations, there's plenty of help from: coleagues, HR staff, and external consultants
    • However, for SME and front-line corporate leaders, there is little readily or economically available
    • And most online sites offer only reading material that has previously been published offline
    • Importantly, there is little or no leadership action planning whether online or off
