Leadership development (LD) involves a lot more than a few well-designed workshops. This program is designed to introduce you to all of the key elements of leadership development with the primary objective of helping you enhance the impact, effectiveness, balance, and strategic relevance of your overall leadership development efforts. This one-day program combines education, facilitation, and consulting, and outlines almost everything you need to know before designing or re-designing your LD strategy, methods, and programs. This program is specifically designed to ensure that your LD design team knows what all of the major LD components and options are before committing to particular programs, methods, or LD consultants. Useful benchmarking data, practical advice, great tools, and databases of critical success factors enhance this program and further support your effort to make solid, cost-effective decisions in your LD program design.

This program is available as a 1-day work session, combining workshop and consultation, for your leadership development team and/or senior executive team.

Food For Thought:

Athletes may want to develop all of their muscles, but the reality is that a sprinter needs different muscle development than a marathoner. It would be nice to develop all individual, team, and organisational muscles, but organisations do not need all muscles in equal proportions; it is also impossible to focus on everything at once. Organisations have to understand which muscles--which skills or capabilities--are mission critical. Organisations must develop precisely those individual, team, and organisational capabilities that will most help them:



• Conquer critical business challenges
  
• Enhance competitive advantage
  
• Increase value delivered to customers
  
• Translate strategy into action
  
• Formulate new strategy or identify & leverage new opportunities
  
• Develop future leaders
  
  

"Learning & development add value to the business only when they help a business achieve its primary goals & create new opportunities."

"The ability to learn faster than your competitors may be the only sustainable competitive advantage."
(Arie de Geus)

"The ultimate challenge of leaders who are senior managers is to develop the next generation of leaders more capable than themselves."
