7. Why Choose Leader-Led Development
 ‘Soft Skills’ are best learned by practice, coaching and reinforcement
 Leaders learn themselves by ‘teaching’ others – so that the leader is
developing coaching skills that can be applied in any domain
 The ‘stickiness’ is reinforced because it is reinforced by the team and
creates a culture for critical thinking
 The delivery model was developed so that it does not need any pretraining or certification to deliver
 We deliver the content through MindPops so that the leader focuses
on application of the content to the work environment
