HANDLEY Group works with clients to design and implement a process in which individuals and teams can develop the competencies underlying changing leadership requirements. Our programs focus on the new leadership paradigm—a paradigm that views leadership as a collaborative process and the responsibility of the entire organization. Rather than view leadership as an innate set of character traits belonging to a few individuals, the new paradigm is a process where we coactively liberate the leader within each of us.

CoActive Leadership requires learning and developing new leadership-skills that utilize the capacities and potentials of all members of the organization to do creative and meaningful work, CoActive Leadership is considered a set of individual and collective skills that integrate emotions and intellect in a dynamic way. The result is a vitality and synergy that surpasses the old leadership processes.

HANDLEY Group approach develops skills that reflect several dimensions of this new leadership intelligence paradigm:

• Understanding how emotions motivate cognitive activity and behavior.
  
  
• Gauging the Spectrum of Emotions in the organization—ability to accurately identify one's own range of emotions and the range being experienced by others.
  
  
• Empowerment Proneness—the ability to authorize one's self to initiate ideas, expressions of feeling, and actions without requiring the permission of an internalized or external authority figure.
  
  
• Awareness of the Defense Routine Spectrum—ability to accurately identify one's own and others role in blaming routines, cover-up routines, denial, avoidance, envy and other defenses that effect leadership processes.
  
  
• Learning Proneness—the ability to continuously learn about the leadership process within the system as it unfolds and evolves.

HANDLEY Group approach to CoActive Leadership development gives you an opportunity to experience personally the dynamics of leadership from this new and exciting vantage point. We focus on helping our clients understand what it means to be a leader in today's fast-moving, fast-changing, ambiguous, chaotic business environment.
