Leadership Development
Leadership is one of the most critical factors in an organization's success. Today's leaders need to be more productive and demonstrate more skills than ever.
Effective leadership develops over time; it's a process of learning, growing and reflecting. Companies that proactively develop their talent prosper. Investing in leadership development expands the capacity of individuals to perform. Our leadership offerings help raise the bar for success.

​
We recognize the value of collecting internal and external performance data on leaders, teams and entire organizations. We tap into several well-recognized, valid and reliable instruments found in the marketplace. We will use the following techniques, where appropriate:
Emotional Intelligence Appraisal (EQ) The EQ assessment pinpoints strategies to increase emotional intelligence in the areas of self-awareness, self-management, social awareness and relationship management.
StrengthsFinders 2.0â„¢ The StrengthsFinders 2.0 measures natural patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving to discover what you naturally do best (your talents) and learn how to develop them.
Myers-Briggs Type Indicatorâ„¢ (MBTI) The MBTI is designed to measure personality temperament preferences along four domains: Extroversion and Introversion, Sensing and Intuition, Thinking and Feeling, Judging and Perceiving.
Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrumentâ„¢ (TKI) The TKI is designed to measure a person's conflict styles in work and personal life. Five styles are measured against how much a person asserts themselves and/or how much a person cooperates with others. The five conflict styles are: Control, Collaborate, Avoid, Accommodate and Compromise.
Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, Conscientiousness Model (DiSC)™ The DiSC is an assessment of behavior at work and/or personal life measuring Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and Conscientiousness. Insight of other’s behaviors helps to break down real and imagined barriers between team members when results are shared.
Polarity Assessment for Continuity and Transformation â„¢ (PACT) The PACT assessment allows a management team to see individual and group interpretations of performance of key polarities within an organization.
Leaders need to perform effectively, efficiently and produce results. They must execute viable business strategies. Effective leaders ask, "How can we take a good thing and make it better?" The seasons of a leader's career sometimes calls for a trusted partner to navigate with them. Whether sharpening an existing skills-set, providing a sounding board, broadening organizational awareness, developing executive presence or simply reminding leaders it's okay to have doubt sometimes, executive coaching is a safety net to give leaders a competitive advantage.

360-degree employee feedback provides a holistic view of an employee by gathering feedback from a leader’s manager, peers, direct reports and sometimes customers. Data collection is ideal if an organization seeks sustainable individual development for a leader, as the leader gains an outsider’s perspective into their personality. Each assessment is customized for the leader to align with known goals, objectives and competencies. Our reporting and action planning tools enable leaders to align strategic change within the organization for overall effectiveness.
