Executive Sprints: Leadership and Effectiveness NOW

Executives often scratch their heads about leadership development. Many have high performing people on their teams who are missing important pieces for creating the collaborative work environments that lead to breakthrough results.

The missing pieces most often are in two areas:

Interpersonal skills/ people skills

• Listening to someone you don’t agree with and then collaborating
• Being open to new ideas
• Being open to feedback and coaching vs. being defensive
• Cultivating listening… listening… listening
• Expressing ideas clearly
• Talking straight… giving honest feedback
• Being a pleasure to work with

Accountability/ team effectiveness

• Having highly effective protocols for follow-through and completion
• Doing what you said you would do, when you said you would do it
• Operating based on agreed upon deadlines
• Clear communication in the face of changes or delays
• Being focused and effective, regardless of what there is to do and handle
• Ability to move a project or initiative forward collaboratively

To win a three-legged race, all legs have to work in harmony.

Executive SPRINTS is a one-on-one development program (3-6 months) that gives an individual leader new tools and new capabilities. The outcomes to be produced and the format for delivery are custom-designed with each leader and the person to whom they report.
