Leadership Transition Matrix
Mapping the shifts of leadership succession
The Leadership Transition Matrix (LTM) is a strategic framework that illustrates how responsibilities shift across the levels of leadership. It highlights the evolving balance between the Four Drivers of Leadership Effectiveness: Execution, Strategy, Leadership Development, and Emotional Intelligence.
While execution is critical for early leaders, strategy becomes the dominant focus at senior levels. Leadership Development and Emotional Intelligence remain essential at every stage.
By mapping these shifts, the LTM helps leaders and organizations align leadership growth with long-term success and succession planning.

The LTM serves as both a leadership development guide and a succession planning tool. It helps organizations identify leadership gaps, support transitions, and ensure leaders are prepared for their next level.
By understanding these shifts, businesses can proactively
develop talent, reduce disruption, and build a strong, future-ready leadership pipeline.
