Leadership Assessment and Development Workshop

In surveys that ask, “What’s missing in organizational success?” the most common answer is “Leadership.” Which is a little like saying the main thing missing from the sea is water.

We all know what failures of leadership look like. But what does success look like? What are the traits of a leader-rich organization?

Such organizations simultaneously develop the capabilities of their people to awaken their effect on the organization and create its effectiveness in the market and community. Each leader in such an organization must learn to foster business leadership, technology leadership, value-adding process flow leadership (enfolding supply chain into the whole) and regenerative leadership (growth and development of people, processes, product, markets and boeyond), simultaneously, no matter their functional role.

All development must be aligned with a distinctive, compelling, and highly relevant strategy and executed with precision against rigorous and exacting performance criteria. Finally, leadership must come from persons who exhibit purposeful behavior, refusing to allow their own ego to be the driver. Rather, they live out the idea of serving stakeholders by bringing their own essence and the uniqueness of others into the work.

Organizations that excel at the ongoing and iterative development of their “whole system” in this way create high degrees of competitive differentiation and “market non-displace-ability”. They enjoy sustained, industry-leading performance and self-renewing cycles of innovation and value-creation in service to customers, employees, stock holders, the community and other stakeholder systems.

Format:

Your Senior Management and ideally other cross-functional Leaders in your organization, will:

• Evaluate your organization’s leadership capacity relative to the “enterprise roles for leadership direction” and determine where your current leadership fits in relation to your companies potential. (Most organizations have barely tapped leadership potential at all levels of the organization.)

• Test your leadership capacity against the four core capacities required for a strategic execution of a grow strategy which is much more demanding than an improvement strategy.

• Assess the quality of your current leadership hiring and development process and your capability to deliver on the strategic direction you have set as a result.

• Audit how well you have structured your leadership development practices and management processes in order to be able to deliver on your strategy.
  
• Discover how you are positioned relative to your competition on a “hierarchy of leadership capability.”

Benefits:

• Validate the viability of your existing leadership capacity

• Test the degree of alignment that your leadership team has with the strategy.

• Learn capabilities that will ensure that the current leadership is working to execute on the full potential of the business’ strategy.

• Know how well you are set up functionally to develop leadership capacity and where your weaknesses exist

• Gain alignment on critical arenas where your leadership capacity may or may not hold up in competitive environment and where you need to upgrade

• Insight into the nine interrelated arenas where your organization must develop leadership in order to deliver on a strategy

• Awareness of the six elements that determine the overall health of your organization and where you have significant shortfalls that must be addressed.

• This “Strategic Assessment” workshop is only one module in InterOctave’s™ larger “Strategic Intensive Series”, a “whole systems” technology for the next era of business performance…the Developmental era.
