Rodger Spiller is an Authorized Provider of The Leadership Challenge® Workshop. The program is highly interactive and stimulating. Participants experience and apply The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership® through video cases, workbook exercises, group problem-solving tasks, lectures and optional outdoor action learning.
Individuals who increase the frequency of The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership® have been proven to have higher credibility and higher performing teams. Through this work it has been proven that leadership is learnable, and that individuals who experience our programs do in fact increase their leadership effectiveness.
The Leadership Challenge® Workshop includes the leading industry 360-degree assessment tool, The Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI). The LPI is a highly refined behavioral based 360 degree survey instrument which collects data on the frequency with which one exhibits 30 leadership behaviors. Participants receive valid and reliable feedback on how others perceive them as leaders. Prior to the workshop, each participant and up to 10 colleagues, completes the LPI and the resulting report is shared with the participant in the workshop. The reliability and validity of this instrument is continually confirmed by the doctoral theses based on it- over 100 have been written to date.
Integrated Leadership
How to Transform Your Business and Your Life for Sustainable Success
Leading organisations know that they can always work better. Extraordinary leaders know that the key to working better is in-depth understanding of themselves and others and the process of transformation. They empower their teams and in turn their organisation to achieve the highest levels of productivity and profit, performance and satisfaction. Such leadership requires courage, authenticity and responsibility. This dynamic and exciting programme brings together ancient wisdom and modern psychology to enable leaders to see themselves and others with unparalleled clarity and depth. It provides increased emotional intelligence through insight and powerful practical tools for personal and organisational transformation.
Integrated Leadership is an international, values-based transformational leadership course offered exclusively in New Zealand by Dr Rodger Spiller and Chellie Spiller. This programme explores why many people are disillusioned with leaders and distrustful of them, what they are looking for and how this leadership can be provided.
A key tool used in Integrated Leadership is the Enneagram, widely regarded as a more complete and in-depth approach to the human component in management than any other system. It is used by many major corporations including Motorola, Proctor & Gamble, SONY, Apple Computer, Hewlett Packard and Toyota. It is comprehensive, yet easy to understand and dynamic rather than static. Unlike other personality systems, the Enneagram doesn’t put you in a box - it shows you the way out of the box you are in. By understanding Enneagram personality types, leaders truly know themselves and others. Communication at all levels of an organisation becomes exponentially more effective, and the organisation as a whole is transformed. This results in retention of employees, increased job satisfaction and productivity, reduced stress and increased resilience, and breakthrough results in team development, conflict resolution, negotiation, marketing, sales and leadership.

Ethical Leadership
This course provides a comprehensive guide to achieving ethical leadership. It enables businesses to attract and retain the best employees, increase sales and customer loyalty, strengthen relationships with suppliers, perform better financially for shareholders and enhance corporate citizenship and goodwill within the community. Ethical business is good business and ethics are good for business.
This course also assists business to meet stakeholder expectations that businesses walk the talk by investing in ethics training. For example, the Securities Commission's Principles and Guidelines for Corporate Governance states that directors should observe and foster high ethical standards, including provision of employee training and a system to implement and review the entity's code of ethics. Meanwhile investors such as the New Zealand Superannuation Fund have ethical investment as part of their investment criteria.
