TALENT IN LEADERSHIP ROLES Leadership Framework Effective leadership is about developing a vision for the future, as well as understanding the current needs of LFRS. LFRS recognises outstanding leaders as: Those who engage with others, energize them to overcome barriers, build confidence and trust and use coaching and support to deliver innovation, successful performance and great community service. Leaders should be willing to challenge poor behavior wherever it occurs. There are challenges in delivering this in a hybrid working environment.
