Inner development for outer performance: Transformational programs to drive leadership development

Top executives increasingly see investment in self-development as a priority

Today’s leaders are highly aware of the unique challenges they face amid geopolitical and economic volatility. Their performance impacts outcomes for whole organizations. Increasingly, they recognize the need to deepen their own development in order to meet this moment effectively and lead others through this demanding time.

But knowledge and skills can take you only so far. For top executives to grow, they need to evolve their mindsets, assumptions, and ways of operating. Egon Zehnder’s global CEO surveys reflect this recognition: 80% now see personal development as a priority.

95%

of CEOs expect “groundbreaking systemic change” in the next decade

92%

feel they need to cultivate adaptability “beyond anything previously imagined”

Leadership journeys that ignite change and bring meaningful benefits

It is for these visionary leaders that Egon Zehnder and Mobius Executive Leadership have co-created our transformational Leadership Development Programs.

We understand the business context and bring a grounded understanding of what unlocks transformational shifts in human behavior, enabling us to meet top executives where they are, in the environments in which they operate.

We understand that leaders must transform themselves before they can ignite the change needed in their organizations. Our programs guide leaders on inner explorations that allow them to reach new heights of outward performance—with meaningful benefits for their enterprises. Their leadership can provide enhanced agility, drive innovation, and generate increased and sustained shareholder value.

Vertical development:
Our distinctive impact driver

Leadership transformation begins within. Our edge lies in a “vertical” development lens: the understanding that leaders must evolve their internal landscape—unconscious beliefs and habits—before they can perform optimally.

By guiding leaders through immersive, emotionally resonant experiences, our Leadership Development Programs enable them to disrupt limiting patterns and embody new ways of being, aligning personal transformation with the ability to drive organizational excellence.

Integrated methodologies allow us to orchestrate end-to-end solutions—ensuring that senior leaders are fully prepared for the future, and supported in building the bench they need long term.

The programs are based on a combination of Egon Zehnder’s Potential Model, a proven framework that identifies a leader’s key drivers of potential and helps leverage them to unleash new levels of performance in current and future roles, and Mobius Chief Thought Leader Erica Ariel Fox’s New York Times best-selling leadership book Winning from Within®, which synthesizes her 20 years of research conducted at Harvard Law School and as a leadership advisor to senior executives worldwide.

The Potential Model correlates significantly with the Winning from Within® approach, which targets the blind spots found in even the most senior of leaders and is considered a seminal work in leadership and executive development.

“The breakthrough was truly feeling that I could be a better leader of my organization by inspiring and connecting with others. I deeply believe in the program: it helps develop purposeful leaders in the world, step by step.”
