The Six Functions Toolkit

Leadership is about intentional, focused, and deliberate behaviours that unlock the full potential in others. The Six Functions serve as a compass, providing clear strategies to address various situations. They are not meant to be applied in a sequential order, and are not to be used all at once. Instead, they serve as a toolkit for leaders to assess the team’s needs and select the most effective strategy. Each function has its own unique set of skills, enabling leaders to effectively meet the requirements of each situation.

Set Expectations Define the Vision Enable Performance Cultivate Collaboration Develop Talent Ignite Motivation

"This book isn’t bafflegab, and the teachings aren’t ethereal. Dorothy is the most practical teacher imaginable. As you will find in reading Six Functions, One Vision: A Practical Guide for Modern Leaders, the competing experiences of your daily job, regardless of where you work or how you work, are commonplace. They are also surmountable."
