The Right Fit Leading (RFL) Process offers help and education for companies and learning institutions to develop leaders and teams. RFL focuses training on all members, because you cannot develop leaders by only focusing on the person in charge and what they need to do or to improve on. Using Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) Theory based in part on an article by Fred Dansereau, George Graen, and William Haga (1975), you can understand that leadership development is best done collaboratively. Skill development, then, is best done by creating relationships as an integral part of the training. This is non-traditional, because the "normal" process is to train the leader. Then, the leader trains or motivates the team to follow. Collaboratively developing the skills that the leader and those they lead delivers shared understanding and effective team building. This is the challenge that is addressed in this work.
