Where standards cannot be negotiated,

leadership cannot be templated.

The method behind Total Leadership started elsewhere.

In urban planning, the most enduring transformations are not built from scratch. They emerge when planners identify what is already present in a place, then create the conditions for it to surface, evolve, and produce something new.

Daniele Perchiazzi encountered this principle during his M.Sc in City Planning at Politecnico di Milano. He then spent nearly a decade inside some of the most demanding luxury houses in the world, observing how the same logic held wherever excellence was required. You do not build leaders from scratch. You identify what was always there, and create the conditions for it to produce something different.

That insight became the foundation of Total Leadership when Daniele founded the consultancy in 2021.

What Total Leadership is

A boutique consultancy specialising in executive coaching, corporate training, and psychometric assessment for senior leaders in premium, complex, and high-stakes environments. Engagements span four continents and over twenty countries. Sectors include luxury fashion, hospitality, aerospace, defence, financial services, pharmaceuticals, technology, and the public sector.

The consultancy was built on a specific conviction.

The pressures facing leaders in these environments demand a different developmental approach. Heritage and innovation. Exclusivity and accessibility. Individual artistry and commercial discipline. Short-term performance and long-term brand stewardship. These are not problems to solve. They are tensions to lead through, and they require leaders developed differently than standard programmes provide.

Who Total Leadership works with

Selection matters more than scale. Not every engagement is the right fit.

The consultancy works with senior leaders, executive teams, and organisations where standards are uncompromising and where leadership development must operate at a level conventional programmes cannot reach. Clients include CEOs, founders, Chiefs of Staff, Vice Presidents, Transformation Directors, Regional Directors, Finance Directors, and Chief Technology Officers, across maisons, multinationals, and high-complexity institutions.

The Methodology

The heart of the approach is the Luxus Leadership Principles™ (LLP), a proprietary methodology articulating seven independent principles for senior leadership development. The LLP is published in two white papers: an executive edition and an academic edition, both anchored in research on vertical leadership development.

The methodology is operationalised through the LLPA (Luxus Leadership Principles™ Assessment), a vertical leadership assessment available as self-report and 360-degree feedback. Unlike horizontal psychometrics that measure what leaders do, the LLPA measures the interior qualities that determine how senior leaders perceive, decide, and respond to complexity.

Where additional diagnostic depth is required, engagements integrate other industry-leading instruments: Hogan Assessment (HPI, HDS, MVPI), MBTI, DiSC, REACH Ecosystem (Advanced Practitioner), Spotlight, Spotlight TEAMS, and the Leading Dimensions Profile.

Daniele Perchiazzi

Founder

Daniele designed Total Leadership's methodology from two decades of experience working with senior leaders in the most demanding environments in the world.

He is the creator of the Luxus Leadership Principles (LLP) — a proprietary framework developed specifically for leaders in luxury and premium-adjacent organisations — and the LLPA, a psychometric assessment tool calibrated for senior leadership complexity.

He is an Adjunct Professor at the International University of Monaco and Glion Institute of Higher Education, where he teaches luxury leadership and brand management. He holds accreditation from the ICF (Associate Certified Coach) and EMCC (European Individual Accreditation).

  • Energises and engages

    “Daniele made communication feel fresh and eye-opening. We often take it for granted, but his approach transformed how I connect with others. His ability to foster trust and psychological safety allowed for open, honest conversations that led to real breakthroughs.”

  • Empowers team

    “Our facilitator from Total Leadership ensured that every participant felt heard, valued, and motivated to apply what they’ve learnt. The training style kept everyone engaged, making even complex topics easy to grasp and implement in actual workplace settings.”

  • Provides actionable strategies

    “Daniele doesn’t just teach theories - he provides actionable strategies that make an immediate difference. His focus on behavioural skills, like active listening and trust-building, has helped me improve my leadership approach and navigate workplace challenges with greater confidence.”

  • Keeps participants engaged

    “From breakout rooms and storytelling in virtual sessions to dynamic group activities in person, the training provided by Total Leadership keeps participants fully engaged. The high-energy facilitation ensures that learning is fun, relevant, and—most importantly—something we actually remember and apply.”

  • Gives a perfect balance of theory and practice

    “Daniele’s training is the perfect blend of theory and real application. He creates an engaging and interactive environment where learning feels effortless — whether online or in person. The balance of hands-on exercises, insightful discussions, and practical tools ensures that everything we learn is immediately useful.”

  • Transforms communication

    “Before attending the session, I never realised how much my communication style impacted my team. I used to think I was a good listener, but now I understand the power of active listening and nonverbal cues. Since applying these strategies, my relationships have improved, and collaboration has become more effective.”
