Description:
The Centered Leadership Model (Barsh, Mogelof and Webb, 2010) has been developed by McKinsey in 2008, based on a theoretical framework and a 2010 survey which tried to establish the link with the satisfaction (McKinsey, 2010) of leaders with their performance. Interesting to notice, the model was developed as part of the McKinsey Leadership Project (Barsh, Cranston and Craske, 2008), aimed at helping professional women to develop and sustain their leadership profile, an interesting D&I lense.
The model is based on five broad capabilities: “finding meaning in work, converting emotions such as fear or stress into opportunity, leveraging connections and community, acting in the face of risk, and sustaining the energy that is the life force of change”. Each capability is described by a mix of competencies and traits, as they depend very much on the personal history of the leader, and their personal and professional context. The model is contextual, an element of innovation versus many static models. These capabilities when developed consistently, directly impact Presence, Resilience and the sense of Belonging of their organisations.
