The Leader's Toolbox® Overview

Companies spend billions of dollars each year on implementing change & leadership development. Unfortunately they do not get a sufficient return from their investment. Most approaches to leadership development fail to deliver the tangible business results that management expects.

Many companies falsely believe that:
  • Leadership development is time consuming, expensive and difficult to teach
  • The impact of leadership development efforts is impossible to measure
  • Leadership is the responsibility of a few
  • Leaders are built through individual assessments and competency training
  • Leadership development must take a back-seat to pressing business issues

The Leader's Toolbox® helps managers know what to do and how to lead with the aim of making a tangible and immediate impact toward the success of the organization. It provides a roadmap for reframing the future by building internal collaboration and effective team leaders. The Toolbox ensures leadership in achieving key business goals in the face of a competitive, ever-changing marketplace. It drives real, immediate business results, provides a concrete process for determining what crucial actions to execute, enhances managers' skills, and builds team effectiveness across functions.

Rather than focusing on individual skills assessment and competency enhancement, The Leader's Toolbox® assumes that managers across the company must:

  • Share a common understanding of the products/services that they provide to customers
  • Speak a common leadership language and have a shared leadership agenda
  • Operate as a collaborative, well-leveraged team
  • Use common leadership processes and tools to plan, communicate, and execute initiatives that drive change and assure future success

It teaches people how to face five universal leadership challenges that may have kept them from being successful in the past. Rather than teaching people specific skills, The Leader's Toolbox® encourages people to use the tools in the box and to act their way to successful leadership.

Participants:

  • Develop innovative strategies
  • Learn the art of establishing stronger followership
  • Overcome organization and role paradoxes
  • Facilitate organization learning
  • Enhance workforce productivity and a sense of community

The Leader's Toolbox® encourages

  • People to develop their skills by working on critical organizational issues
  • Leadership development through acting and doing new leadership behaviors
  • Leaders to collaborate and support one another
  • Human Resources staff to become actively involved in developing and delivering the program.
