How are leaders and/or managers developed in your organization?

What competencies do you require for effective leadership?

How can you give your leaders the skills, knowledge, approaches, and support necessary to succeed?

With the right leadership – effective and well-developed – an organization can succeed in day-to-day operations while focusing on a strategic vision for long-term impact. Ineffective leadership can take an organization down a self-destructive path. The difference lies in whether the leaders are developed and supported to be as strong as possible. We partner with our clients to develop and support their senior managers and current and future leaders.

Our Leadership Development practice is based on the knowledge that effective leadership requires focus and strength in three areas – understanding an organization’s systems (both internal and external); connecting with people; and understanding and developing oneself. This is our Three Faces of Leadership model.


Based on the Three Faces of Leadership model, we offer Leadership Development consultation, training, and coaching that allow individuals to identify and hone their leadership skills.

"A huge benefit for us was that Chatsworth Consulting Group’s leadership training was not off the shelf. It really took what they heard from the group and all the feedback they heard and then turned around and gave ways with the situation that they’re in and the culture that they’re part of how they can still move forward and move up in their careers and better themselves and their careers.

Working with Chatsworth Consulting was great because they really delved into our culture. Participants really felt that it wasn’t off the shelf and that it was meaningful, and that they weren’t trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. That is what differentiates Chatsworth Consulting from other organizations. They really do care about getting to know your organization. I would absolutely recommend them, specifically for any other entertainment companies, and most importantly any company where the real importance is actual effecting change and being able to pass along some skills and techniques that can help people change."
