77% of leadership is misunderstood
Most leadership development focuses on only 23% of what actually makes someone an effective leader.
The Problem Is:
Most leadership development focuses on only a fraction (23%) of what actually makes a leader most effective.
That shouldn’t be.
The Aperio focuses its message on the truths that account for the largest majority (77%) of a leader’s effectiveness.

Most leadership development fades quickly and doesn’t get applied over the long term.

Who* Not What Leadership Development happens below the surface and may be harder to see. But it’s there, and the change it produces is remarkable.
“Anybody can copy [any part of your business—your assets, your products, your processes]. What they can’t copy is how you lead people. Your effectiveness is how you work with your people to get the best out of your business.”

Here's why you should invest in Who you are as a leader, not just What you can do.
Realize Organizational Goals
Leadership development isn’t just about your own personal education and growth. Leaders are leading toward objectives, and development should aid in those objectives. At The Aperio, we want to ensure that leadership development means actual results in your organization.
Keep Top-Tier Talent
Great people follow great leaders and will settle for nothing less. Being worth* following is more than making people like you. It’s becoming a leader who can build and inspire a team of people toward success together.
Enjoy Leading again
Leaders need to provide vision, think strategically, cultivate talent, marshal the resources, and ensure the execution of your objectives . . . all while attending to the unforeseen challenges of managing a team. We can’t promise things will be easy, but we will help you enjoy the ride.

Be Worth* Following
Journeys by The Aperio™ is the primary leadership engagement facilitated by The Aperio. Exceptional leaders inspire us to be better. We assume that What an exceptional leader does is what we should emulate, because that’s what’s easiest for us to observe—actions. But in reality, it's what takes place below the surface—at the core of Who those leaders are as people—that makes them such effective leaders.

Read The Only Leaders Worth* Following
The Only Leaders Worth* Following explores what makes some leaders successful while others fail. In it, Tim Spiker explains the Who* Not What Principle—that becoming a truly great leader is far more about developing Who we are as people than improving What we do. In spite of data, logic, and personal experiences that point to the truth of Who* Not What, few leaders intentionally and consciously order their own leadership development—or the leadership development within their organizations—by this principle.
