At LDL, we believe performance requires more than technical know-how. Our Skill+Will™ approach combines proven skills development with the modern leadership qualities that bring those skills to life — confidence, collaboration, trust and the ability to inspire others. This balance between competence and leadership is what drives lasting change, and it’s what makes LDL training different.
Skill is essential to success — but skill alone is rarely enough. The real differentiator is will: the leadership key that unlocks talent, teamwork and discretionary effort. By emphasising these human factors, LDL helps participants apply new skills with confidence and delivers measurable results.
The diagram below shows how Skill+Will™ helps your business to achieve performance excellence:
Insights from neuroscience show that lasting success depends on two complementary dimensions. One is focused, analytical and precise. The other is broader, relational and imaginative. Both are vital — and they achieve their full potential only when developed together.
Skill reflects the first dimension: the technical mastery, methods and structured know-how that allow people to perform effectively.
Will reflects the second: the human leadership qualities that bring skills to life — collaboration, trust, empathy and the ability to inspire others. These qualities ensure that technical skills are applied with energy, meaning and commitment.
When Skill and Will are out of balance, performance suffers. High skill without will leaves potential untapped. High will without skill leads to misdirected effort. But when the two are cultivated in harmony, learning translates into measurable results.
Skill reflects competence. Will reflects leadership. Together they create lasting performance.
