Leadership Development

83% of organizations agree that leadership development is important at every level of the company. However, only 5% of businesses have implemented leadership development at all levels. According to a 2020 survey from the Society for Human Resource Management, 84 percent of US workers blame poorly trained managers for creating unnecessary stress in the workplace. For those workers, leadership development represents a significant chance to improve their company culture. More than simply identifying leaders’ strengths and weaknesses, leadership coaching promotes greater self-awareness, which in turn, leads to a greater understanding of the impact you have on others. Overall, it can contribute to a positive shift in organizational culture from the top down.  

We take a “systems approach” to leadership development, based on the practices of analyzing organizations as a collection of interconnected systems and processes and changing leadership behaviors to meet client goals and expectations. We start by doing a “pulse check” using leader assessment tools. Findings are analyzed into comprehensive reports and recommendations for solutions; which when implemented are supported through oversight and two-way feedback mechanisms.

Our approach includes customized assessments, interviews, focus groups and secure surveys on the areas of leadership including:

• Leadership Agility and Resilience
• Engagement, Productivity and Performance
• Collaboration, Communication and Innovation
• Respect
• Diversity & Inclusion
• Change & Transformation
• Efficiency and Productivity

Employee engagement is a foundational component to workplace outcomes. Companies with high employee engagement are 22% more profitable than those with low engagement. 

Only 33% of employees report feeling engaged and only 48% of employees view their company’s leadership as “high quality". Strength-based leadership development can change all that.

A Gallup study showed that strength-based development leads to:

• 10% to 19% increased sales
• 14% to 29% increased profit
• 3% to 7% higher customer engagement
• 9% to 15% increase in engaged employees

Leadership development can be of immense value as a tool to help leaders become more self-aware and grow. With this comes an enhanced ability to communicate. With improved communication comes improved relationships in the workplace. Beyond personal growth, for businesses looking to invest in leadership development, the organizational benefits associated with leadership coaching have been proven time and time again.
