The E3C3 Methodology for Leadership Readiness

At E3C3 Leadership, we believe successful leadership development begins with readiness — both organizational and individual. That’s why we implement the E3C3 Methodology for Leadership Readiness before any program begins. This structured approach ensures that leaders at every level are equipped, aligned, and prepared to meet the challenges ahead. The methodology is built around six key steps, helping organizations and individual leaders elevate leadership effectiveness from the inside out.

The E3C3 Readiness Methodology is more than a checklist — it’s a mindset shift.
When readiness is established, leadership development becomes more than a program… it becomes a cultural force for change, growth, and elevated performance.

Preparing to Lead With Purpose and Clarity

1. Adopt an Elevated Leadership Mindset & Heartset

We help you cultivate a culture where leadership is everyone’s responsibility — regardless of role or title. Leaders at all levels commit to growing their capacity with courage, authenticity, and intention.

2. Balance the Scales of Performance

We help leaders and organizations define success through both people and performance — valuing trust, engagement, and relationships as much as outcomes and results.

3. Foster Leadership Accountability

We set clear expectations and build a culture of accountability, where leadership is measured not just by what gets done, but how it gets done — with integrity, ownership, and follow-through.

4. Identify Leadership Voids

We use assessments, feedback, and reflection to uncover gaps in leadership behavior, capability, and alignment — empowering individuals and organizations to target meaningful growth opportunities.

5. Implement the Six Core Elements of Elevated Leadership

We embed the E3C3 Elements — Embrace, Empower, Engage, Challenge, Coach, and Celebrate — into leadership development practices, personal growth, and cultural expectations to guide consistent, intentional leadership.

6. Take Action

We activate leadership development through stretch assignments, coaching, peer learning, and real-world practice using the 70-20-10 model — ensuring lasting impact beyond the classroom.
