Define the Leadership Maturity that will enable your Growth Ambitions
Why do you need a Leadership Culture?
Defining your leadership culture is at the core of your ability to reach growth ambitions.
As you grow the business from an international company to a true multinational with a strong culture, there are different levels of leadership maturity required. The level of leadership maturity is defined by the ability to lead through others, work values, time application and a renewed sense of leadership identity as individuals grow in more complex and visible roles.
Leadership Development is not a one-off event
Achieving professional growth requires a leadership development process.
Leadership development is a process that unfolds over time. It is most effective when it supports individual who are transitioning to broader, more complex roles. Programmatic support is most effective over a time period of 12 to 18 months. It starts with assessments including a 360 process, a thorough feedback session followed by structured support to support the shift in sense of identity and leadership impact.
A fully integrated talent management strategy
Leadership development needs to work in tandem with your culture and talent management. Decisions around pivotal talent, from hiring to exit, are sponsored by key stakeholders. Creating clarity around the criteria for succession and promotion, and inserting these in the leadership development programs are key to building leadership pipelines that can handle various transformation contexts.
Build a Plan
Many clients think they need the full library of leadership training.
Alternatively, you structure some key messages, related to the company purpose, values and how they translate in sales effectiveness and operational excellence. You create momentum and translate it into movement. For instance, a Top 100 Leadership Convention followed by workshops on people performance management and leveraging paradoxes. Being specific increases your return on investment.
