CREATE BETTER OUTCOMES … THROUGH DRIVING MORE LEADER LEARNING
With rapid change affecting all parts of your business, return to office challenges, Gen Z quiet quitting – and the need to drive both performance and engagement: you need new leadership skills to help your team step up, navigate change and address challenges real-time.
You’re still dealing with the impact of the pandemic and the shift to hybrid and remote working preferences. And now you’re needing to understand and integrate AI tools to improve the design, effectiveness, productivity and speed of work, with cascading changes to coordinate across the organization.
Yet most organizations don’t focus enough on the single most direct lever available to drive better performance…
Up to 2020, the default leadership model of top-down management of individuals and teams, via the CEO and executive groups (often not teams) worked across the organization to steer the ship. Leaders were “experts”, dispensing “direction.”
With change—in the larger environment and inside organizations—happening more rapidly, unpredictably, and continuously, leaders need new ways to learn, lead and work. These new ways include leaders modeling personal learning faster, “out loud”, to help individuals & teams succeed, becoming more effective, productive, agile, creative, adaptable. But the way that most of us learn—and have learned to lead—doesn’t scale. And many leaders don’t see how their approach falls short.
Today demands MORE of you as a leader. You need to build new capabilities to learn, adapt and accelerate your work and the work of your team. In ways that prevent people from burning out in the process, including you.
This requires leaders and teams/ team members to discover/ demonstrate:
WHEN these leader development programs go really well, we co-create moments, significant emotional events, and string these together in a regular sequence — for you and your people participating.
When you start demonstrating new leader behaviors:
This work creates ennobling moments: sequences of events that lead to dramatic new levels of performance and growth for individuals and teams.
Client team members have told us that these moments are both career- and life-changing.
People grow more engaged; they care more; they see themselves and their work differently; their work relationships change; their capabilities improve; they grow more confident; they play and perform better on their teams.

With change continuing as we work together, we’ll collect data and assess guideposts along the way to gauge progress, and guide course-corrections.
In addition to tracking program-specific outcomes, we work with you in two ways to measure program impact during implementation:
We track progress over time and use it to adjust program content and create interventions (at individual leader/ team-specific levels; and across the full participant group). We share learnings, and where necessary: course-correct. These adjustments increase sponsorship, alignment and focus to driver stronger outcomes over time.
Our behavior change/ learning support reporting helps individual leaders and participants see how specific changes in their behaviors tie to outcomes – including the observed outcomes that others around each leader may experience. We measure engagement and adherence for participants against desired competencies, and program/organizational objectives.
We use this data regularly with client program leads and executive decision-makers (as change champions), to assess what’s working, anticipate and design next steps and interventions, and invite input to influence future program design.
Clients regularly report our comprehensive change work regularly creates outcomes they’d previously considered impossible.
