The 4 Essential Roles of Leadership®

A framework for success for leaders everywhere.

The world is changing at an unprecedented pace.

Every day, leaders are making countless decisions and facing problems they’ve never encountered before. What worked yesterday can change overnight. The speed is relentless, the stakes are high, but the rewards are great for those who can lead a team to consistently achieve extraordinary results.

So how can leaders stay ahead of the curve and differentiate themselves and their teams when so much is changing so quickly?

Meet The 4 Essential Roles of Leadership®.

Even in the most turbulent times, there are four roles leaders play that are highly predictive of success. We call them essential because as leaders consciously lead themselves and their teams in alignment with these roles, they lay the foundation for effective leadership.

Course Details

The Challenge

Leaders promoted to mid- to senior-level leadership roles often struggle to achieve the next level of results. What worked for them as individual contributors will not work for them as they achieve results with and through others. They need a simple, practical framework that forms the basis of leadership success.

Experienced mid- to senior-level leaders need hands-on work sessions that allow them to do real work and implement their ideas with their teams, and they need multiple learning modalities to accommodate their schedule.

The Research and the Solution

FranklinCovey spent more than two years learning what organizations and businesses need from their leaders today and in the future. We discovered that these organizations and businesses needed leaders who could

  • Think BIG and adapt quickly.
  • Translate strategy into meaningful work.
  • Coach people to a higher performance.

The 4 Essential Roles® develops leaders who can master these skills consistently within FranklinCovey’s unique framework that focuses on developing who a leader is as well as what a leader does.
