Leadership Development

Effective leadership programs are seen as a critical component to the successful development of high potential employees yet most organizations at best fail in achieving the return-on-investment they hoped for and at worst loose these developed high performers to other organizations.  A major reason for these failures is the inability to see the development of these individuals as part of a more complex organizational system.

For over 6 years our model of leadership development has sustained an unheard of 90%+ success rate in meeting program objectives.  

Our program design starts with a comprehensive analysis to ensure that the developmental activities are strategically aligned to meet both the developmental needs of the individual and the goals of the organization to which the individual will return.  This both/and approach ensures alignment throughout the developmental process.

Each design is unique to the organization and may include:

➤     A Highly Effective Selection Process:  Helping organizations define a process that ensures they select “high-ready’s” at the right time in their career, when the individual’s personal and professional goals and the organizations needs align.

➤     A Comprehensive Reentry Strategy:  By starting with the end in mind, we prepare individuals from day-one to be focused on how their experiences and learning align with their organizations needs and how they will implement that new knowledge when they return.

➤     Powerful Workshops:  Designed to provide topical learning to strengthen leadership skills and abilities; executive coaching to create better self-awareness and effectiveness in leading others; access to best-in-class benchmarks to help expand thinking and creativity, while creating a life-long connected network of leaders that will continue to be a resource to each other throughout their career.

➤     Developmental Assignments Worth the Investment:  Nothing works better in enabling creative thinking and building leaders with an organizational-wide perspective than developmental assignments outside the home organization.  However, sending individuals on developmental assignments is costly, both in travel and salary dollars.  Sadly, very few organizations know how to identify the assignment that will produce the greatest ROI. Our proven method of assignment matching stretches individuals far beyond their current capabilities, builds greater confidence and creativity and ensures that individuals bring back the knowledge and skills needed most by their home organization.
