The E3C3 Methodology for Leadership Readiness
Preparing People and Organizations to Lead with Clarity, Courage, and Impact
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.
Too often, leadership development efforts fall short because organizations and individuals are not fully ready for the journey. Readiness is the foundation for success. Before launching any program, we help individuals, teams, and organizations take a clear-eyed look at where they are today — and what is needed to elevate their leadership impact tomorrow.
Our Leadership Readiness Assessment measures the factors that determine how prepared leaders and organizations are to engage in meaningful development. It uncovers both strengths and gaps across key dimensions — from mindset and accountability to alignment and support. The result is a practical roadmap to ensure every leadership effort is targeted, relevant, and sustainable.
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.
The Six Dimensions of Leadership Readiness
1. Adopt an Elevated Leadership Mindset & Heartset
We 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
Through assessments, feedback, and reflection, we 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 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.
