Energizing Development for Senior Leaders

Despite generally being high performing, our senior leaders are often subjected to heavy scrutiny and pressure. When it comes time to identify a development topic, it can be a challenge. Commonly, leadership development looks like personality profiles that tell us where we are good or bad. Loads of self introspection. These exercises are necessary and valuable, but often leave our leaders feeling like they are, yet again, being examined in the corporate petri dish.

At the same time, 70% of corporate change initiatives fail with poor sponsorship being the leading cause (Prosci, McKinsey). With the huge dollars and effort invested in our change initiatives, this presents a huge opportunity to minimize risk.

Teaching your senior leaders how specifically to manage through change and to be an effective sponsor solves both of these problems. Your leaders get to flex their muscle in active-learning workshops wherein they can amplify and apply what they already know. Research shows that an empathy-focused approach to change helps to strengthen our EQ as well. This leader development also helps to minimize the risk that is associated with poor sponsorship.
