The art of following is the foundation of the Leadership Pyramid. You must be
an effective follower before ascending the other levels and moving into
more demanding roles.
Managing employees requires an understanding of the core job function of
and building credibility with those whom you manage.
Identifying your management style in this phase will allow you to change
and define the style of leadership that will ultimately fit you best.
Leading the charge into the future can be a difficult task. This phase is
a time to refine your skills and inspire people to follow you while remembering where
you started.
Sharing the vision to innovate is critical to the success of leaders in any business.
Life at the top is the culmination of your experiences through the pyramid.
The Leadership Pyramid - From Following to Leading and Beyond™
Pyramid Leadership is a philosophy that evolved from research and observation of successful leaders that have
worked their way from the rank and file of front line employees. During their journeys, these visionaries will
have consciously or subconsciously traversed all levels of the pyramid. At the pinnacle, they will guide successful
organizations and inspire new generations of leaders.
The Leadership Pyramid model assists employees that want to become successful leaders but are not sure how to get
started. It provides them with a road map for beginning on the path and successfully navigating the challenges along the way.
Sapphire Training - Mining leaders from followers, and polishing leaders into visionaries
When the term mining is discussed in the corporate world, it is generally used in the context of data or knowledge.
Few people would apply the term to the employees. Sapphire Training & Consulting, LLC is predicated on the philosophy that the best
talent can be mined from an organization’s employee base. But those hidden “gems” must not only be proficient in
their duties, they must become effective followers.
Leading from the ground up emphasizes building a solid foundation for the pyramid before navigating to the top.
Even experienced leaders can benefit from reflection before continuing their journey, as a fresh perspective and
focus on principles can sharpen their vision. In an era of change, successful leaders adapt not only to their
environment but to the criteria upon which their success in an organization and industry is judged.
