Connected leadership is lasting leadership, rooted in evidence-based practices, and informed by a significant body of research linking self-identity and a handful of critical metacompetencies to the achievement of extraordinary leadership results. Connected leadership is an inside – out approach. Borrowing from the fields of cognitive behavioral psychology, developmental psychology, and identity theory, connected leadership is about knowing who you are, where you want to go, and what you will need for the trip. CODA Partners partners with organizations to design and deliver long – term leadership programs and provides products and tools for coaches and others charged with developing the leadership capacity of individuals, teams and organizations.
