Great leadership and culture starts with character

Traditional leadership development focuses on the leader.  The SLG Fellows Program begins by helping fellows understand themselves, but then shifts the focus on team dynamics. SLG Fellows experience immediate and sustained growth through making small changes in their behavior that make a significant impact on their team’s success.

Organizations work with SLG because they desire the level of high performance that can only be achieved through investing in a culture of character.

When leaders consistently demonstrate good character, which is developed through living out a set of transcendent virtues, they inspire their followers to do the same. A team’s commitment to acting according to a shared set of virtues instills a sense of belonging and trust within the team, allowing them to work collaboratively and optimize performance. And because everyone wants to be part of a high performing team, when an organization invests in character development, they are also investing in employee retention.

Values vary person by person and are aspirational. Virtues, however, are universally recognized as being morally good and are based in reality. That is to say, that they are produced through one’s behavior, not ideals or aspirations.
