We helped establish the world-renowned Masters in Innovation, Creativity and Leadership (MICL) at Bayes Business School of City, University of London (formerly Cass), run by the Centre for Creativity in Professional Practice. Perspectiv’s Andy Wilkins is a Senior Honorary Visiting Fellow teaching on two of the eight modules of this multidisciplinary programme that has been running for over 10 years.

We work with the Wiley brand The Leadership Challenge and LPI: Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI). The Leadership Challenge, by Kouzes and Posner, is a well-researched international best-seller based on The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership and the LPI is a simple, data-driven, and time-tested assessment that measures how frequently individual leaders exercise these five practices. With this information, individuals at any level and in any organisation can identify exactly where they excel as leaders and where they have opportunities to improve.

Client Quote

‘The Leadership Challenge is a must, especially for senior managers working in a cross-cultural environment. It directly identifies and helps the leader address work-related issues stemming from the gap between how the leader perceives his/her contribution to the team versus how the team sees their leader. Kate’s coaching has been a life-changing eye-opener for me personally, but has benefited the entire organisation as well.’
