WiLD LEADERS IMPACT
At WiLD Leaders we track the impact of the WiLD Trust Platform surveys and assessments, the WiLD Toolkit and the WiLD Trust Index.
WiLD has created and deployed a trust survey that pinpoints where and whom this trust is placed and at what level.
Some of the companies we’ve worked with:
THE WiLD TOOLKIT
The System for Whole + Intentional Leader Development
James shares his experience with WiLD Leaders, and Chaili shares the impact of using the WiLD Toolkit for herself and with organizations as a facilitator.
The WiLD Toolkit was built on decades of research.
When you use this process for yourself, with your team, or across your organization, you can be certain that it is no one-off solution. This system is built on decades of research and has incredible articles and publications that contain research done on the system and its impact.
Articles Based on WiLD Toolkit Research + Data:
THE CHARACTER X FACTOR IN SELECTING LEADERS: BEYOND ETHICS, VIRTUES, AND VALUES
Dr. Rob McKenna and Dr. Victoria Campbell featured in the Journal of Values Based Leadership on the topic of character. “Character is something you cannot perform, so we can separate performance from the assessment of character. Character goes beyond the content of the problem and deeper into the context of ourselves in relationship to ourselves, to the people around us, and to our experiences. How we see our reality is just as important as how we perform.”
DOES SACRIFICIAL LEADERSHIP HAVE TO HURT?
By Dr. Rob McKenna and Dr. Terran Brown. “Sacrificial leadership has generally been associated with positive outcomes for organizations and employees. While it is often desired by organizations, we suggest that current organizational systems often fail to promote sacrificial behaviors. We present a new perspective sacrificial leadership that includes character-based elements such as humility, a willingness to calculate the cost of leading and the courage to be irrelevant in the presence of systems that pressure leaders to behave otherwise. We discuss how these elements are often not encouraged in current selection, employee development, and succession planning processes.”
DEVELOPING WHOLE LEADERS FOR THE WHOLE WORLD
This article by Dr. Rob McKenna and Dr. Kira Wenzel highlights the Whole and Intentional Leader Development Model behind WiLD Leaders. “Leadership development happens because someone sufficiently cares to invest in another and has initiated the challenging and deeply valuable conversations that connect who we are, what we do, and why we lead. Integrating those stories develops our courage and conviction to create change and transforms us into the leaders that others need us to be.”
DEVELOP WHOLE LEADERS WITH TOOL BASED COACHING
This article highlights the power of coaching leaders using tools like those in the WiLD Toolkit. The focus is on how tools like those in the WiLD Toolkit encourage vulnerability but don’t force it, and how they provide an integrative framework for a leader think in a more comprehensive and whole way about their learning and development.

“To me, the difference to the WiLD approach to leader development is that it really is that, an ongoing developmental pathway that is accessible and provides real value for leaders at any stage in their journey as a leader.”
