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

Top executives see investment in self‑development as a priority

Today’s leaders are acutely aware of the unique challenges they face amid geopolitical and economic volatility, and that their performance impacts outcomes for their whole organization. They know they need something deeper and more profound to meet this moment.

But knowledge and skills can take you only so far. For top executives to grow, they need to evolve their mindsets, assumptions, and modes of operation. Our global CEO surveys show that they recognize this need: 80% view investment in self-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”

A transformational partnership

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

We understand that leaders must transform themselves before they can ignite the change needed in their organizations. Our customized programs guide leaders on inner explorations that allow them to reach new heights of outward performance—with rich benefits to their enterprises in the form of enhanced agility, innovation, and shareholder value.

Vertical development:
Our distinctive methodology

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 externally.

Through immersive, guided experiences, leaders are enabled to disrupt limiting patterns and embody new ways of being, aligning personal transformation with organizational impact.

Our integrated Winning from Within® and Potential methodologies allow us to orchestrate end-to-end solutions that ensure senior leaders are fully prepared for the future.

Winning from Within® is captured in The New York Times best-selling book by Harvard Law School Lecturer and founding partner of Mobius Executive Leadership, Erica Ariel Fox.

This framework draws on the “Big 4” personality archetypes – Dreamer, Thinker, Lover, Warrior – to unlock transformational leadership capabilities. These align with the markers of potential identified in our Potential model: Curiosity, Insight, Engagement, and Determination.

In candid personal sessions, leaders reintegrate underused traits, identify over-developed leadership facets, and develop strategies to find balance.

“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.”
