The BRAVE OS

HELPING LEADERS TAKE FLIGHT

The BRAVE OS is a leadership framework that combines philosophy and practice to help people, teams, and organisations run courageously rather than on fear, ego, or inertia. It shapes every coaching and advisory conversation, development programme and insight and is powered by The BRAVE Model™


What is The BRAVE Model™ ?

The model is developed by David McQueen, drawing on leadership, organisational behaviour, executive coaching and business development models from around the world.

Its core principles of Bold, Resilient, Agile, Visionary and Ethical focus on helping leaders develop robust practices for themselves, teams and their organisations that are efficient, high-performing, but also ethical and compassionate. To be courageous, especially when others aren’t.

Leadership isn’t about control, it’s about capacity and the ability to adapt, decide and stay ethical when it matters most
