5D Transcending Leadership Model
The 5D Transcending Leadership Model™ is Stuart Andrews' proprietary methodology for diagnosing and scaling leadership capability through five sequential stages. It moves an organisation from assessing where its leadership stands today to a self-sustaining system where leaders grow other leaders.
Unlike training curricula that target individual skills, the 5D Model is an architecture: each stage builds the structural conditions for the next, so capability compounds rather than resetting every time a leader changes seats.
- Discover — diagnose leadership maturity and capability gaps.
- Desire — align leadership vision with organisational strategy and growth ambition.
- Define — design the leadership architecture: systems, rhythms, and capability pathways.
- Deliver — embed development inside the business through coaching, experiences, and rituals.
- Drive — activate the leader-multiplication flywheel: leaders who grow leaders.
