Building a leadership-powered company
Imagine a company that has a chief financial officer but does not have a budget process, an accounting system, and a capital allocation process that is tied together. That financial officer would not have much success. A finance architecture enables the entire organization to work with and talk about financial matters in a consistent way.
Is it different from leadership function in any organisation? Without a proper system, it’s impossible to discuss matters with a clear understanding and consistency. Companies need an enduring architecture that sets common standards for both performance and potential, differentiated by a layer of management. It should also establish language and processes to address issues, identify problems, and exploit opportunities effectively, as well as data for making decisions about everything from job transition to performance improvement.
The above is elaborated further in The Leadership Pipeline book. Today, a significant number of Fortune 500 companies have implemented the Leadership Pipeline concept as their key architecture for selecting, assessing, and developing leaders.

“The biggest benefit and impact from the LPI program was the deeper understanding of the role and goals of a leader and in better organizing and making sense of my work. The understanding that leaders achieve their goals through the success of their subordinates allows leaders to better understand their responsibilities, make plans accordingly, and prioritize tasks. The tools learned in the program were also very helpful in setting goals for myself and my team, giving feedback, delegating tasks, and developing a team.”
Pärtel Vurma
CEO, Velvet
“I feel that I got a lot more out of the LPI program than I could have expected. There were many things that made me think very deeply about how I was working as a leader and how I should develop from here. This is of the training that has really given me the most. I think that everything we have learned here can be used 100%.”
Meelis Rohtlaan
Head of Field in Legal Department, Estonian Tax and Customs Board
“The program helped to raise awareness of how many people we as leaders influence with our leadership style! And that we actually achieve many of our results through those people. I received good insights and tools to use for developing and motivating my team, as well as for setting goals (ie how to structure goals to be more acceptable and measurable).”
Feedback from a participant in Swedbank's management program
“When listening to other leaders in my group work, I always got new ideas on how to develop my team and delegate tasks so that people with different profiles would find new output. In addition, this training motivates to pay more attention to leadership activities. From the survey my team members answered before the training, I found out my own bottlenecks that need special attention.”
Feedback from a participant in Swedbank's management program
Our Leadership Programs make behavioral change stick – job tests after 3 months of completing LPI program show 33,3% higher results than average - 76,8% vs average 57,6% (benchmark data is based on all of Peopleway’s impact-measurement data (26,8 million responses).
MEASURING TRAINING IMPACT IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF OUR DNA
According to McKinsey, adult learners typically retain 10 percent of what they hear in the classroom and 66% when “learning by doing” on the job.
To ensure the highest possible measurement quality and validity, LPI has collaborated and systematically been working with the leading third-party training auditor Peopleway® since 2009 with the clear aim of providing our clients with the “best in class” measurement and quality system for measuring impact and ROI on our services and programs.
The unique design principles behind our leadership transition programs combined with our capabilities of measuring the learning impact and results of our leadership programs are something that most other consultancy companies are not able or willing to match.
The leadership pipeline model is a framework for identifying, developing, or recruiting leaders developed by Walter R. Mahler in the 1970s. Some decades later, the leadership pipeline model was developed further based on the vast consultancy experience of Ram Charan, Stephen Drotter, and James Noel. Together, they developed a framework to help organizations develop a strong internal leadership culture.
With Stephen Drotter as Chairman, Leadership Pipeline Institute is the leading provider of solutions based on the Leadership Pipeline and Specialist Pipeline concepts. LPI along with its partners holds extensive experience in implementing these frameworks as the organizational infrastructure for developing, selecting and assessing the performance of leaders and specialists.
Leadership first principles are defined on each critical transition in terms of work values, time application and skills that leaders are faced with when moving from one leadership role to another. You can also use the Leadership Pipeline principles to define the expected performance standards for each leadership role in the organization.
The Leadership Pipeline offers first principles for mapping and building an efficient and agile leadership architecture, infrastructure and operation model. This will help you to:
Grow leaders across the organization
Create leadership agility
Improve execution power
Increase organizational efficiency
