Leadership Development

Leaders - and their companies - are only as successful as their people. And, far more important to this success than job knowledge or technical expertise are a leader’s behavior and inter-personal style, which directly affect how people respond to them and ultimately how they perform. Unfortunately, people in leadership positions often fail to realize their influence or they may hold fast to a leadership style or behaviors that are not effective in their current role.

Understanding leadership style and related Emotional Intelligence competencies is fundamental to our leadership development process. We know from experience that leadership is an acquired skill that once learned can mean the difference between average yield and exceptional profit. Our unique approach utilizes the Five Factor Model™, created out of years of experience with individuals and organizations striving to improve their leadership effectiveness. In this process we create an engaged partnership with each individual based on a full understanding of their personal aspirations while fulfilling the needs of the organization.

Alignment of individual strategies and goals with the organization’s vision, mission, and values leads to superior performance and desired outcomes.

The Five Factor Model consist of the following requisites

I. Establish the Organizational Context
  (Vision, Mission and Values)
II. Determine Specific Role Expectations
  (Interdependencies, Guiding Behaviors, Success Factors, and Emotional Intelligence requisites)
III. Determination of Individual Personality and Leadership Style

IV. Performance Planning
  (Feedback, Action Plans, Developmental Goals, Desired Outcomes, and Specific Strategies with Progress Measures)
V. Coaching and Implementation
  (Ongoing Feedback, Adjustment, Refinement and Follow Through)
