Realize the full potential of leadership

Just as successful financial management requires consistent budgeting, systems, and clear processes, leadership also needs its own architecture. Without common standards and language, leadership remains arbitrary and the organization cannot reach its full potential.
Leadership Pipeline® creates a sustainable leadership structure that defines clear performance and potential requirements for different leadership levels. It provides the organization with a common language, processes, and tools for development that can be used to solve challenges, take advantage of opportunities, and make better data-driven decisions, from role changes to operational improvements.

The Leadership Pipeline concept

The basic idea behind the Leadership Pipeline is that leadership develops in stages at different levels of one’s career, and each stage requires new skills, ways of thinking, and time allocation. The model helps identify what needs to be learned and, on the other hand, what old habits need to be left behind when moving on to the next level of leadership. It enables the organization to systematically build and develop leadership at all levels – from the individual to top management.

The above is elaborated further in The Leadership Pipeline book. Watch the accompanying video to learn more about the basic idea.

Today, a significant number of Fortune 500 companies have implemented the Leadership Pipeline concept as their key architecture for selecting, assessing, and developing leaders.

“Since the business environment is so uncertain businesses need more internal certainty. Every business must be certain of what it can deliver.”
STEPHEN J. DROTTER

Evolution of Leadership Pipeline


The leadership pipeline model is a framework for identifying, developing, or recruiting leaders developed by Walter R. Mahler in the 1970s. Some decades later, the leadership pipeline model was developed further based on the vast consultancy experience of Ram Charan, Stephen Drotter, and James Noel. Together, they developed a framework to help organizations develop a strong internal leadership culture.

With Stephen Drotter as Chairman, Leadership Pipeline Institute is the leading provider of solutions based on the Leadership Pipeline and Specialist Pipeline concepts. LPI along with its partners holds extensive experience in implementing these frameworks as the organizational infrastructure for developing, selecting and assessing the performance of leaders and specialists.
