This section of the Facet5 report describes how a person’s manager needs to respond in order to motivate, inspire and manage them. The report uses as a base the model of leadership originally outlined by Bernard Bass which suggests that there are seven core elements of leadership which people need to develop in order to be seen as successful. They break down into Transformational and Transactional leadership. Transactional leadership is about delivering the agreed results whereas transformational leadership is required to inspire people to go above and beyond expectations.

Leading Edge takes Facet5 data and integrates it with current leadership theory. For each person, LeadingEdge will give detailed pointers so that your approach to them can be modified to get the most effective result, under the following headings:

• Creating a vision
• Stimulating the environment
• Treating people as individuals
• Goal-setting
• Monitoring performance
• Providing feedback
• Developing careers

With this guide you can make sure your management efforts are effective and demonstrate true leadership where each person is treated as an individual and valued as such.
