Leadership Development

When it comes to developing Leaders at varying levels in the organization, many will focus on leveraging or designing programs that build specific skills, or designing / redesigning and implementing a targeted curriculum.  Although those elements are important, at Leading Minds, we have had proven success and organizational impact through development and execution of a comprehensive strategy that literally changes the leadership culture.  And the best part is, depending on the size, needs, budget, and existing processes of your company, you may not need to invest in all of the strategic areas.  Or you can phase pieces over time.  The results can be substantial, as we have seen double-digit percentage increases on engagement survey items around Manager Capability, especially in key areas like inclusion, development, and trust. 

The strategic elements focus on:

• Emphasizing full commitment and involvement from senior leadership
• Creating a business case that compels Leaders to strive to make a more meaningful impact on people’s careers and lives
• Communicating clear Leader expectations that are achievable and actionable
• Enabling leadership forums where Leaders can ask questions and share ideas, best practices, insights, and guidance with one another from across the organization
• Designing learning paths that are geared toward varying levels of leadership experience (as opposed to job level)
• Providing a central location to access leadership tools and resources as needed
• Simplifying the communications to Leaders, while still leveraging multiple communication channels
• Measuring short-term and long-term impact
