Evidence-Based Leadership Online Training
The purpose of evidence-based leadership is to navigate organisations through a world that is somewhere between the extremes of perfect predictability and perfect unpredictability. That’s why performance measurement is the primary navigational tool of EBL.
Performance measurement, done properly, deepens our understanding of the complexity in our organisations, and speeds up our identification of patterns, so we can constantly improve the results we want.
So, evidence-based leadership is not about how to lead. It’s about what to give our attention to as we lead: the performance of the organisation, within the context of the organisation’s purpose.
This Evidence-Based Leadership Program lays out the framework and practical tools for you to achieve a high-performance culture and measurable success, by:
- Setting a strategic direction that is results-oriented and easy for everyone to understand.
- Aligning teams to your strategic direction, so they can own their contribution to it.
- Measuring your strategic and team goals, to test strategy execution and improve performance organisation-wide.
- Inspiring everyone to reach for higher performance targets, to achieve the results that matter.
EBL is the most practical way to get more control over your organisation’s performance and impact.

Module 2 | Six Habits of EBL
The reason we need a framework like EBL is because creating a high-performance culture and measurable success is fraught with struggle. If it wasn’t, high-performing organisations would dominate the business landscape. EBL is designed the way it is to directly stop those struggles.
