Leadership Equation

PCA Leadership Equation™

We believe true leadership is about harnessing the ability to put people first when making decisions. When people are truly at the centre of how an organisation makes its biggest decisions, the rewards are measured in growth, sustainability and longevity.

Our unique Leadership Equation™ breaks down the characteristics of great leaders and provides the practical framework to cover the capabilities we may cover in your programme.

Emotional Quotient (EQ)

A Leader’s capability to relate to themselves and to others

Mental health and well being are central tenets of the modern leadership skillset. An increased capacity for care, empathy and resilience creates the space for everyone to perform at their best, while bringing a more human-centred focus to the management of others.

Decency Quotient (DQ)

A Leader’s purpose, values and morality

Organisations with purpose and people at their centre achieve strong growth and improve resilience. Creating diverse and inclusive cultures call for a unique set of leadership skills. We call this the Decency Quotient, which helps teams and individuals deliver on their cultural leadership aspirations.

Multiplier Quotient (MQ)

A Leader’s capability to empower humanity

Each of the leadership quotients creates powerful benefits, but skilfully combined they deliver outstanding multiplier effects greater than the sum of their parts. Modern organisations face myriad and rapidly-changing demands. Successfully balancing the leadership equation future-proofs businesses for resilience, agility and growth.
