Corporate Vision passion, experience, and a genuine commitment to the growth and development of every person, team, or company it trains. Thanks to this, Unlock Engine plays a pivotal role in the global mentoring and training space, with the customised programmes it offers for new leaders, purpose-driven and mindfulness workshops for teams, keynote presentations, and its individual and group mentoring sessions, all being at the cutting edge of the industry and attentive to its changing needs. This is where the aforementioned E.L.I.A.S. – Engagement, Leadership, Inspiration, Attitude, and Sustained Results – Leadership Model really comes into play. Committed to helping people become the best possible versions of themselves, the passion Unlock Engine has for its work is reflected through a set of core values rooted in this pioneering approach to the trials and tribulations of leadership. Built on six key behavioural pillars designed to nurture inspirational leaders – those who lead with trust, passion, purpose, effective communication, integrity and genuine human interest – this model has been embodied by the organisation itself, which helps others to apply it and reap the benefits. Carlos explained this framework he created in further detail: “When applied effectively, these pillars drive behavioural change, enabling leaders to inspire others, trigger self-motivation, and cultivate the right mindset for achieving their full potential. This is why we strongly believe that inspiration is the most powerful tool a leader can possess.” E.L.I.A.S. is much more than just this overview, and more information about Carlos’ model can be found in his book: ‘The Legacy: A Story of Leadership’. As well as his proprietary framework, this engaging read brings together a number of proven leadership concepts, teaching discerning leaders how they can inspire those around them and create high-performance teams. The book is told from the point of view of an executive, who recounts leadership challenges in both his company and a soccer team locker room. Using these experiences, the book – which is available worldwide on Amazon, along with its Spanish-language edition, ‘El Legado Una Historia de Liderazgo’ – presents some of the key issues of leadership in a way that is practical and easy to apply, all whilst still being entertaining. Carlos believes that aspiring leaders as well as new and seasoned leaders alike can benefit from reading it and come to understand more about inspirational leadership and how it can guide both business strategy and employee performance. With the strengths of the E.L.I.A.S. Leadership Model to boot, Unlock Engine is at the heart of the leadership development arena, the dynamics of which are currently being reshaped by digital transformation. Carlos told us: “Businesses are realising that success in core activities such as innovation, strategy, and execution depends heavily on leaders who can unlock the maximum potential of their teams. He continued: “Building a sustainable organisation requires strong leaders capable of navigating the complexity and fast pace.” “Leadership development is essential for organisations of every size to thrive in this environment. That’s why we adapt to each context, often tailoring our programmes to meet the specific needs of individuals and organisations alike.” As touched on above, despite being a small organisation, Unlock Engine’s ability to adapt its solutions to teams and businesses of any size has seen it apply the same principles to its own operation.
