Build a culture of Leadership Intelligences with us

Vivkin Group - The Leadership Intelligences Company

A revolutionary framework
Leadership IntelligencesTM
Intelligent leaders lead everyday. A pilot on a delayed flight steps into the cabin, assuages
irate passengers, and ensures customer loyalty. A barista steps out from behind the
counter, resolves an argument over spilled coffee, and establishes her coffee-chain as
providing delightful service. An operations manager re-routes workflow, removes a
bottle-neck, and the company delivers a critical order in time.
Leadership Intelligences is about leading in unremarkable ways in everyday situations to
produce outstanding results. It begins with lower-case leadership and builds to uppercase Leadership. Leadership intelligences inspire a culture of leadership and constant
innovation throughout the organization.

Make your organization an innovation powerhouse and industry leader

Once we recognize the powerful fact that leadership intelligences sparkle in everybody
and we mindfully cultivate those intelligences, a deep and dynamic transformation is set in
process.
We become leaders who transform ourselves, our organizations, and our societies in
simple but impactful ways. - Baba Prasad (Ph.D, The Wharton School)

Organization Without LI

Organization With LI

Trapped in Routine
Employees are clock-watchers trapped in
archaic operating procedures (more
commonly called ruts)

Thriving on Innovation
Leaders engage in everyday innovation
which creates a culture of leadership and
innovation throughout the organization

Low Morale, High Turnover

In the absence of everyday leadership,
workplace practices and frictions cause
morale to be low, and turnover to be high

Excitement about work, High

Retention
Employees are excited about the work
they are engaged in; they participate in
joint efforts with shared goals; they
certainly do not want to leave

Inefficient Processes
Unclear goals, vague definitions of
responsibilities, lack of self-empowerment
leads to inefficiencies across the
organization

Productivity Improvements
Leaders seek every possible avenue in
which they can lead; constant microimprovements create dramatic
productivity improvements

Vision: Myopic
Trapped in everyday crises without an idea
of the long-term creates an inability to
respond to dynamic markets and
environments

Vision: Strategic
Spirit of collective leadership leads to longterm, strategic vision; the organization is
flexible and able to respond rapidly to new
situations at all levels

Backbiting, Backstabbing
A culture full of mischief and misgivings
creates camps and fosters malignant
politics

Trust
Transparent leaders encourage
constructive criticism and inspire trust

Ego-driven: Focus on self

Me-First employee focuses on what the
company and colleagues can do for me

'Other'-driven: Focus on Company and

Customers
Collective ownership of vision generates a
focus on how company can serve market
needs better and increase profits

Although the testing was fun, it was also

challenging and required some thought unlike
personality testing sessions that come across
as too easy or too silly. Vivkin Groups
workshop was really valuable, and the team
felt that the time was extremely well spent.
We would certainly recommend the
framework to any group or organization.
Laura Bennett, Senior Manager,
alphaWorks, IBM

Vivkin Groups intelligences framework is

insightful and groundbreaking; the workshop
was enlightening, and it had the right balance
of theory, self-assessment, and case
examples.
Alvin Hew, President & Managing Director,
LOreal, Taiwan

Vivkin Groups test very intuitively described the intelligences for each of us, and
indicated our strengths and where we
needed improvement. What we found most
important was that this framework allows us
to measure leadership potential and
innovational capacity in a predictive fashion.
