No bandwidth to fill your leadership pipeline?
Has succession planning failed to deliver quality leaders that are ready to take over key roles in your company?
We get it! We have a leadership pipeline roadmap that combines practical tools and proven processes to prepare competent and confident leaders to fill the gaps brought on by turnover, disruption and attrition.
How it Works
Depending on the leadership level that is being developed, the process and time commitment varies.
Assessments:Â We provide a series of assessments that reveal the leadership potential. These assessments contribute to the the Action Plan for each leader.
Coaching: Director level leaders can have half-day (4 hour) meetings every other month (can be virtual). Managers might meet for 4-6 hours, quarterly with virtual support in between sessions.
Roadmap: A customized 12-month succession plan for each member of your team. This includes assessments and on demand training in critical leadership skills.
