Why Leadership Development Rarely Changes Behaviour or Improves Bottom-Line Results
Most organisations are not short on leadership frameworks, training programs, or good intentions.
Leaders gain insight, receive feedback, and leave development initiatives with genuine intent to change.
At best, behaviour shifts for a short period of time. Then pressure returns—deadlines, trade-offs, conflict—and familiar patterns reappear.
This is not a failure of motivation or capability. It is a failure to sustainably change leadership behaviour in real working conditions.
The Pattern Most Organisations Recognise
In many leadership development efforts:
- Insight is created, but not embedded into daily practice.
- Values are articulated, but inconsistently lived.
- Accountability weakens when pressure rises.
- Learning slows when speaking up feels risky.
Development tends to happen in programs, while leadership behaviour is shaped in meetings, decisions, and moments of tension.
When those two worlds remain disconnected, change isn’t sustained.
The Triple Goal: The Standard Leadership Development Should Be Held To
At Triple Goal, we hold leadership development accountable to three outcomes that must be delivered together:
Great Performance
Leadership development must translate into improved execution.
Great Learning
Leadership development must increase a team/organisation’s capacity to learn and innovate.
Great Workplace
Leadership development must translate into more engaged, psychologically safe, happier people.
Why All Three Matter
These outcomes are inseparable.
- Performance without learning and innovation is unsustainable.
- Without psychological safety and accountability, learning disappears.
- Great culture without high performance or innovation is a psychologically safe cruise to irrelevance.
The Triple Goal gives organisations a clear method for understanding which leadership behaviours are helping or hurting what the business needs most.
Leadership Behaviour Drives the Triple Goal
Performance, learning, and workplace culture do not happen by accident. They are shaped by leadership behaviour.
Not by strategy documents. Not by values statements. Not by town halls and internal communication campaigns.
Leadership behaviour determines:
- Whether standards and priorities are upheld or reactivity takes over.
- Whether learning is encouraged or shut down.
- Whether people speak up or stay silent.
- Whether accountability feels fair or punitive.
To deliver the Triple Goal, leadership development must focus on behaviour where it actually operates—in real work, under real conditions.
See if this is right for you.
How We Make Leadership Behaviour Visible and Improvable
To work with leadership behaviour effectively, it needs to be observable, measurable, and discussable.
This is the role of the Leadership Growth Profile.
The Leadership Growth Profile is a behaviour-based leadership assessment and development system. It shows leaders how they actually show up at work, particularly under pressure, and how that behaviour impacts performance, learning, and workplace culture.
A Clear Development Map for Leadership Growth
It does this by integrating TripleGoal’s Growth Matrix to uncover the deeper drivers behind those behaviours.
Drawing on leading research in immunity to change, adult development and values theory, the Growth Matrix enables a seamless transition from assessment to game-changing growth, using the same behavioural language and framework as the Leadership Growth Profile.
Evidence-Based and Practically Applied
The Leadership Growth Profile is a statistically validated assessment built on the world’s most researched leadership behaviours and refined through extensive use across industries and geographies.
This is not a theoretical model. It is a practical, evidence-based system designed to hold up in real organisational conditions.
Testimonials for Our Leadership Development Programs
Cheryl Maley Commercial Excellence Director, Abbvie Pty Ltd “I have been involved with many leadership programs but nothing compares to the work I have done with TripleGoal…The leadership program is challenging, confronting and so very rewarding. Michael’s style is incredibly engaging and he has the ability to motivate many different management styles to reflect on their leadership and dig deep to uncover their key areas for improvement. The leadership skills he has imparted with me and a number of our senior leaders has been life-changing.”
Sascha Boldt National Sales Manager, Novartis Australia "The Vertical Growth leadership program has been a life changing experience, personally and professionally. It has opened me up to a new world by giving me a completely new level of awareness and personal insight that I would not have imagined possible."
Petie Walker Executive General Manager Sustainability & Delivery, Stockland "This program with TripleGoal truly has had the most significant impact on how I lead my team than any other work I’ve done to date. I would recommend this program for all senior leaders who really want to take their leadership to the next level."
Philippe De Pougnadoresse Head Region Middle East Africa Maghreb, Ipsen “This program has changed me deeply as a leader, but also as a person and the way I behave with my family and friends…My leadership scores have quantifiably increased as a result of this journey of self-reflection. I feel I am a better leader, and a more self-aware individual.”
Ray Steinwall General Counsel Novartis Group (Australia and New Zealand) ‘“The leadership course offered by TripleGoal is like no other course I have done and I have learned more from it than any other course. It does not just provide you with mere ‘tools and techniques’ for leadership – though you get those too. Rather the course requires you to fundamentally look deep into ourselves, to understand our innate motivations, fears and insecurities that ultimately drive our interactions with others at work and in our personal lives…It is the best course I have undertaken in my professional life.”
Greg Fokes Advisory Board Member, Construction and Mining Industry Advisor “Michael Bunting has tailored a program that encourages a journey of self discovery with the backdrop of a simple leadership structure that resonates personally with me and reinforces my own values based approach to leadership. He has clearly articulated the context and purpose around effective leadership, explored the intricacies that contribute towards leadership (or a lack of it) and provided a simple framework aimed at improving the shortcomings that plague all leaders.”
Glen Mace Head of Roads & Active Transport Projects - Infrastructure, Projects & Engineering - at Transport for New South Wales “I have done a number of leadership courses and 360 feedback surveys, but for the first time I feel as if I have the tools to improve my leadership and performance of my team. The Leadership Growth Profile provides amazing awareness and insight into what good looks like. I feel empowered both in my professional and personal development journey."
Leadership Growth Profile 360 Debrief Programs
Every Leadership Growth Profile assessment is followed by a guided debrief with a certified coach. This is where feedback becomes actionable.
In the debrief, leaders:
- Make sense of their results in a grounded, non-defensive way.
- Identify their One Big Practice (OBP)—the single leadership practice that will most strengthen Triple Goal outcomes.
- Leave with a clear development focus and practical next steps.
From there, leaders can deepen the work through coaching pathways matched to their role, scope, and level of responsibility.
