DEVELOP OBLIQUE LEADERSHIP

To make the shift, organizations understand that the best way to achieve complex outcomes is by using an oblique approach.

Developing Oblique Leadership unlocks the skills needed to improve the likelihood of success.

Oblique Leadership consists of 6 pattern areas across 3 domains.

DEVELOP

DESIGN

  • Create Meaningful Experiences

DECIDE

The Oblique Leadership Model provides a few examples of specific patterns or hints at practices for each of the 6 pattern areas.

However, there are many practices that could be used effectively in each of the pattern areas.

Individuals, with the support of a coach, partner, or group, should decide which pattern areas to focus on first. Then discuss what practices make sense given their situation and context.
