Individual Leadership Development Programme.
Identifying and Creating Effective Leadership Development for Individuals.
It is undeniable that the pace of change in business has accelerated immensely over the past 10 years. New technology, globalisation, communications and social change have altered the context in which individuals are required to take on a leadership mantle.
Traditionally, leadership development training was carried out on the basis of occasional un-linked programmes where new management skills were taught. Today, the leadership development of an individual is seen as business mentoring; being a journey of learning new behaviours, attitudes and values.
This speed of change and increasingly high expectations means that the traditional, sporadic trial and error method of business development is often both high risk and unsustainable: It tends not to embed new learning. Nevertheless, individuals need stretching assignments and roles in order to reach their potential.
LeaderShape has developed a proprietary tool, LEIPA (Leadership and Emotional Intelligence Profile Assessment) for the assessment of leadership skills in the context of emotional intelligence using 360° feedback. This tool, together with LeaderShape’s proven individual leadership development process built on strong personal foundations in business leadership, provides the support needed for individuals to take on these stretching roles and embed new habits whilst minimising risk and maximising learning.
Benefits to Participants:
- A confidential forum where personal and business focused issues can be explored and identified with the benefit of an objective mentor working in a challenging partnership.
- Increased clarity of self-understanding and awareness and how that impacts their work and how they impact on others.
- A greater clarity of what they need to do or what attitudinal shifts need to take place to achieve their desired level of success and thereby facilitate the achievement of the organisation’s business objectives.
- More rapid assimilation of new attitudes and competencies needed for success.
Benefits to Organisations:
- Quicker integration into new role or organisation.
- Development of a wider range of relevant leadership styles.
- Improved commitment, retention and loyalty.
- Improved competence in role and ability to manage change.
- Better working relationships.
- Improved business results.
A Typical Leadership Development Programme:
The objectives and interventions for each programme will be tailored to the needs of the organisation and the individual – for example:
- Brief and review current data (e.g. Myers Briggs Type Indicator, Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation - behaviour, Team Management Systems).
- Set objectives and measures of success for the programme; in consultation with sponsor/other stakeholders as app.
- 1-2-1 coach-mentoring over 6-12 months, usually at monthly intervals.
- LEIPA feedback – leading to Personal Development Plans.
- Mid-point and end point review of progress against objectives.
Other interventions or psychometric tools may be included, eg: group or action learning, shadowing the coachee in the workplace, team facilitation, supporting strategy, vision development.
Suitable for:
- Newly appointed executives (new role or new company).
- Leaders facing change.
- High Potential individuals earmarked for succession.
- Those who need to deliver results through others/teams.
- Those tasked with leading mergers and acquisitions.
