Professional Recognition

How you lead will need to be evidenced, not claimed. That shift is already happening.

The only question is whether you get there before or after it costs you something.

Leaders who successfully meet the Informed Leadership Standards and complete the certification process are awarded the professional designation:

ILS Recognition Leader

This designation signifies that a leader has:

Completed the Informed Leadership Standards pathway
Demonstrated responsible leadership in practice
Met the external certification requirements
Committed to the Informed Leadership Charter

ILS Recognised Leaders may use this designation across professional profiles, biographies, websites and organisational materials as a mark of responsible, informed leadership. You will also be listed as Recognised on the ILS site.

The ILS Recognitised Leader designation signals leadership that is:

Developed, through structured standards-based learning and integration
Evidenced, through real leadership practice & demonstrated capability
Recognised, through certification against the Informed Leadership Standards

It communicates to organisations, teams and communities that this leader is committed to responsible, ethical and informed leadership practice.

CHOOSE YOUR PATHWAY

Joining the Informed Leadership Standards is entry into a recognised professional benchmark and recognition pathway.

You begin with an Informed Leadership Readiness Assessment & are placed on the most relevant pathway, so time is not wasted repeating learning you have already integrated.

Leaders are supported to apply the standards to real decisions, conversations, power dynamics & leadership challenges in their current roles and environments.

Recognition is reviewed, verified and awarded against the Informed Leadership Standards.

Leaders gather & demonstrate evidence of responsible leadership practice.

Leaders who meet the standards receive the professional designation:

ILS Certified Leader

This signals leadership that has been developed, evidenced & verified.

ILS certified leaders remain part of a professional standards membership committed to responsible leadership, continued reflection

& maintaining the integrity of the standards over time.
