The SHL Leadership Model

The SHL Leadership Model covers four leadership functions critical to leadership effectiveness in any organisation. Each of these four leadership functions can be considered in terms of a management focus and a leadership focus.

  • Management (transactional focus) is focused on keeping the system running effectively and delivering the dependable performance of specified objectives.
  • Leadership (transformational focus) is focused on creating, developing or changing the system’s direction and inspiring both people and the organisation to achieve beyond expectations

Each leadership function is associated with two competencies, based on the SHL Great Eight Competency Factors. One competency is more relevant to a management focus and one to a leadership focus.
