How Do We Define Leadership?
Establishing a clear vision, sharing that vision with
others so that they will follow willingly, providing the
information, knowledge and methods to realize that
vision, and coordinating and balancing the conflicting
interests of all members and stakeholders.
“Leaders for the future need to have values and vision
and to be authentic and agile, aligned and on
purpose.”
Sir John Whitmore
Leadership Mantras
Enlightened Leadership
Awakened Leadership
Timeless Leadership
Lateral Leadership
Enlightened Leadership
Leaders of the future will focus on human
development as the virtue that brings both
tangible and intangible benefits not just for the
individual or organization but the community
as a whole.
The coach engages the leader to look within
himself while taking decisions that enhance
the quality of life for society at large.
Awakened Leadership
Leaders need to be self-aware – have an
awareness going beyond the knowledge of
their own selves to that of others, which helps
them understand and influence their followers.
Coaching awakens deeper levels of selfawareness in leaders.
Timeless Leadership
A modern leader is one who acts after deep
reflection. His mind is open to the wider reality
and the larger context in which decisions
should be taken. He is, thus, able to see
patterns and find connections that extend
beyond the organization.
Lateral Leadership
“Command and control” structures in
organizations are being rapidly replaced by
newer models.
Leaders will need to function by influencing
and persuasion at virtually all levels.
Why teach leaders the IAC
Masteries™ as a framework for
the modern leadership
mantras?
Coaching is as much of a mindset as it is
a process and related set of skills.
The IAC Masteries provide a framework
for both developing a coaching mindset
that align with 21st century leadership.

Enlightened Leadership
One of the moments I love when coaching
with a leader is when, following an insight,
aha or breakthrough, they turn to me and say
something like “wow I don’t know how you did
that Aileen, but that was really powerful”
Awakened Leadership
Leaders for the future will come from today’s
youth. Coaching awakens deeper levels of
self-awareness in young leaders.
Applying the Masteries awakens them to
broader possibilities that truly match their
leadership interests and abilities.
Timeless Leadership
The opportunity for deep reflection for leaders
is modeled beautifully when working within an
industry where the clients are in the reflective
stage of life.
Lateral Leadership
Super storm Sandy created a need for
leaders to work collaboratively across units
and a need for shared leadership among all
members of the unit.
