ADDITIONAL BENEFITS OF THE LEaD PROGRAM
Retention: investing in your leadership team usually means they will invest back in you. Don’t lose people to higher salaries. Growth, personal development, and the feeling of being valued have more value than additional 401(k) matching, a Christmas bonus, or a title increase. This is the kind of investment that makes managers recognize the opportunity to progress in your company
Attraction: growth, the opportunity to progress, and leadership training are listed among the many perks employees want more of. Especially for the younger generation, the emotional intelligence and soft skills of leadership training are as important as the flexibility to work in a hybrid environment.
THE LEaD PROCESS
BASELINE
Assessment Phase
We grow what we know. LEaD’s Assessment Phase sets the baseline of each participant’s leadership, creating a solid foundation for future growth.
The heart of LEaD’s Assessment Phase is the completion and debrief of our core suite of assessments. Participants will select their LEaD process raters, complete the EQ-360 and Time Analysis assessments, and participate in a 1:1 debrief session with a LEaD practitioner.
The output of these debriefs is a baseline Actual Effective Influence Score identifying a participant’s capability and capacity for transformational leadership. This AEI serves as the baseline for tracking growth trends in the Growth Phase.
BUILD
Growth Phase
We have the baseline, now we build.
LEaD’s Growth Phase operates on the principals that you cannot grow what is not measured, and people develop more effectively in an environment of relational accountability than they do in a vacuum.
Every LEaD participant is assigned a cohort that meets monthly for the twelve-month Growth Phase. Participants are given SMART goals based on their AEI baseline. These goals are tracked and assessed over time for growth trends. As goals are reached, new goals are assigned to prevent stalled growth.
Additionally, participants report their leadership Win, loss, and Draw (current obstacle) from the previous month. Organic, real-time dialog amongst the cohort increases the perspective and knowledge of the participant to help them overcome this obstacle.
BEYOND
Application
Leadership does not happen just in LEaD, it happens beyond in the participant’s everyday reality.
To account for this, every cohort meeting ends with specific action steps for each participant based on their reported Leadership Draw. These action steps are intended to solve the participant’s current leadership obstacle while instilling new behaviors and processes to increase leadership competencies.
Action steps are reviewed for success and accountability at the next cohort meeting.
