The Everyone Succeeds Framework
A clear, structured pathway that shows how great leadership develops through Diagnose → Learn → Lead.
A clear, practical pathway from insight to impact
Great leadership does not develop by chance. It develops through deliberate cycles of reflection, learning, practice, and application.
The Everyone Succeeds Framework provides a clear, structured pathway that shows how leadership grows over time, moving from understanding yourself as a leader to leading with confidence in real situations.
At every stage, leaders are supported by carefully designed tools, templates, and guided resources that make improvement practical, measurable, and sustainable.
One framework. Seven connected stages. Full practical support at every step.
Rather than treating leadership development as a one-off course or isolated activity, the Everyone Succeeds framework brings together everything leaders need to move from insight to action. The framework can be used by individual leaders working independently or implemented collectively across a school or trust, with the same Leadership Cycle underpinning both approaches.
Each stage of the cycle is supported by purpose-built resources that guide leaders through that phase with clarity and confidence.
Diagnose – Identify your leadership strengths and growth areas with the Leadership Diagnostic, 360 Diagnostic or Combined Report.
Use these tools, alongside structured reflection and coaching conversations, to understand your profile across the 54 behaviours and identify where to focus next. You can complete either diagnostic individually or complete both to receive a combined report that brings the two perspectives together and highlights clear priorities for development.
Learn – Build deep understanding through the Everyone Succeeds: 54 Leadership Behaviours to Transform Your School book.
Explore each of the 54 leadership behaviours through research, examples, and practical insight from schools and businesses. The book shows what effective leadership looks like in practice and helps you recognise the habits, mindsets, and actions that make the greatest difference.
Reflect – Apply ideas to your own context using the Everyone Succeeds Workbook.
Work through guided reflection prompts, practical tasks, and structured planning activities that help you analyse your leadership and turn understanding into concrete steps for improvement. The workbook provides clarity, direction, and space to make sense of each behaviour in your own setting.
Apply – Put behaviours into practice through the Leadership Toolkits.
Use the toolkits to tackle realistic leadership challenges linked to each behaviour. Each toolkit includes modelled examples and structured prompts so you can act with confidence, transfer ideas into daily practice, and develop the capability to lead more effectively in real situations.
Coach & Practice – Strengthen behaviours through the Coach & Practice Frameworks.
Use clear action steps, reflection questions, and focused rehearsal activities to develop each behaviour deliberately. The frameworks support individual practice or paired work with a colleague or coach, helping you refine and embed key habits over time.
Plan – Turn improvement into measurable progress with the 90-Day Leadership Planner.
Choose a leadership challenge you can influence, set a clear goal, and define the Key Results and Lead Measures that will drive success. Use the 30, 60, and 90 day checkpoints to stay focused, track your actions, and reflect on the impact of your leadership.
Lead – Apply your learning to real situations through the Scenario Finder.
Explore over 50 leadership scenarios and identify the behaviours that will help you respond with clarity and confidence. Use these realistic situations to practise decision making, prepare for challenging moments, and lead with consistency across your school.
A framework designed to be used, not just understood
The Everyone Succeeds Framework is not linear and not something leaders complete once.
It is a repeatable cycle that leaders return to as roles change, challenges evolve, and responsibility grows. Each time through the cycle, understanding deepens, practice sharpens, and leadership impact increases.
