Leadership Focus Triad
Identify the three leadership behaviours that will make the biggest difference right now.
In 5 minutes, you will identify:
- one Core behaviour to improve reliability
- one Enabling behaviour to increase impact through others
- one Sustaining behaviour to make the improvement last
What this tool is for
The Leadership Focus Triad helps you choose a small, deliberate focus for your leadership development. Instead of trying to work on everything at once, it helps you identify what will make the greatest difference right now.
If you have completed the Leadership Diagnostic, this tool helps you turn that insight into a focused next step based on your current situation.
How the Leadership Focus Triad works
The Leadership Focus Triad helps you select three behaviours:
- Core behaviour: creates reliability and consistency.
- Enabling behaviour: increases impact through others.
- Sustaining behaviour: helps improvement endure over time.
Suggestions are shaped by your role and the challenge you are facing. They are prompts for professional judgement. You choose the behaviours that will make the greatest difference in your current context.

What happens next
Once you have chosen your three behaviours:
- Learn through the book, workbook and behaviour pages
- Practise using toolkits and coaching prompts
- Apply these behaviours in your day-to-day leadership
- Plan and lead using the 90-Day Leadership Planner and Scenario Finder
The Triad creates clarity. The Leadership Cycle turns that focus into sustained improvement.
