The Nestlé Leadership Framework (NLF) has been guiding us since 2012. It is now updated and simplified* to match the opportunities and challenges in 2024.

This early release of the NLF Booster is for you to help your leaders leverage the competencies in their daily responsibilities and rolemodelling.

Start by watching the intro video or scroll through the main building blocks to get to the menu of six competencies at the bottom of this page.

What will you find here?

NLF Framework with Six Competencies. 
The original framework - only refreshed, refined, and simplified.
Two NLF LeapCards per competency. 
Each LeapCard is a postcard-sized visual with essential ideas.
Layout: Each NLF LeapCard is roughly divided by a grey line. 

Above the line are tips for All employees. 
Below are additional tips, especially for leaders.
Tools: Each competency's tools are on the 46# LeapCards with recommended concepts, approaches, and overall inspiration.
Behaviors: Each competency's catalysts are on the 47# LeapCards with the corresponding descriptors and recommended behaviors.


Why "catalysts?"


Simply put, a catalyst accelerates a process without being consumed by it. We chose this word because it focuses the story:

Diving into Details

Lastly, the NLF LeapCards are bundled with a few supporting LeapCards from global leadership programs that may offer additional inspiration for present-day leadership essentials such as listening and giving feedback or proven concepts such as situational engagements and psychological safety.


Anything else?

Upon release on March 4th, 2024, the NLF Booster Kit has all NLF LeapCards fully developed and ready for you here with more than two hours of inspirational videos, all broken down into bite-sized clips of 4-5 minutes within each LeapCard. 

To support your local roll-out, we are also developing a workshop kit for each competency with an interactive slide deck to kickstart the engagement. These and other initiatives, like monthly check-ins, will be released throughout the spring, so please keep checking in for the latest on the NLF LeapCards and the NLF Booster Kit.
