Unique Leadership Model
The foundation of the Duke Leadership Program is The Six Domains Leadership Model, developed by Fuqua faculty members Sim Sitkin and Allan Lind.
The Six Domains model provides a framework for talking about and teaching leadership, and provides instruction on how, beginning with your own innate strengths, you can develop solid and enduring leadership behaviors. By focusing on specific leadership behaviors and their corresponding effects, the Six Domains approach provides a concrete and comprehensive framework for understanding and improving leadership skills and effectiveness.The model addresses the full range of skills that are needed to exercise leadership, and instructors will provide practical applications of these skills, which include:
- Personal Leadership: knowing how to build a leadership persona from your own personality and values
- Relational Leadership: how to forge sound relationships with those you lead
- Contextual Leadership: how to provide coherence and team identitiy
- Inspirational Leadership: how to motivate exceptional effort
- Supportive Leadership: how to protect your people
- Responsible Leadership: how to make sure your leadership is balanced and ethical
