Leadership, independently recognised.
LII certifies leaders, recognises leadership programmes and accredits organisations, based on evidence of what has actually changed.
Three ways LII recognises leadership
Each offer recognises something different. Choose the one that matches what you want to prove.
Independent recognition for leadership development programmes.
Leadership, evidenced across the organisation.
Training records show attendance. Recognition should show capability.
Independent
LII does not deliver training, so assessment stays separate from development.
Evidence-based
Decisions rest on demonstrated workplace evidence, judged against defined standards.
Fair
The level is set by the evidence, never by the fee, and every decision has a route to appeal.
