The Authentic Leader

But the reality is that your competitors can do the same thing! Increasingly, strategic factors such as these are merely the price of admission to the game. They can’t differentiate you for any length of time.

The best guarantee of an enduring edge is a group of employees who are engaged, enthusiastic, and committed to the organization’s mission and goals.

So, what does it take to create that kind of workforce?

Great leadership that starts at the top and permeates
every layer of your organization.

Having “good enough” leaders at the top is, simply,
not good enough!

If you want to maximize your organization’s capacity to deliver you need great leaders at the top. In fact, a recent study on leadership by Jack Zenger and Joseph Folkman found that the top 10% of leaders created double the net income generated by leaders in the next 80%.

The Authentic Leader* equips your executives to increase their impact on your organization’s capacity.

Our four-step process carefully integrates peer feedback, one-on-one coaching and a powerful experiential workshop to help your leadership team members adopt the mindset that research has identified in extraordinary leaders. The process challenges your leaders to make a significant shift…

From:

• Being cautious and playing not to lose
• Controlling and dictating
• Criticizing others or remaining detached
• Going along to be liked

To:

• Achieving results and playing to win
• Bringing out the best in others
• Productively engaging with people
• Being courageously authentic

Overview of the Process

Step 1: Individual Assessment
Each leader has his/her current effectiveness assessed by means of the powerful 360º diagnostic tool called The Leadership Circle Profile (TLCP).

TLCP pinpoints critical developmental data that correlate with business success. Unique to The Leadership Circle Profile, both behavior and its underlying beliefs are addressed. The instrument reveals, literally at-a-glance, vital information that allows your executives to make rapid change and real advances in their own effectiveness as a leader.

Step 2: Individual Feedback
Each individual receives a private debrief session with one of our facilitators to interpret their TLCP results and begin to make concrete plans to strengthen their leadership capacities. This one-on-one consultation allows participants to absorb their own results and start planning for their own development.

Step 3: Whole-Team Learning
The entire senior group participates in a two-day workshop. Using simulations, group discussions and personal reflection, this session engages your participants from-start-to-finish. It brings their TLCP results alive and uncovers their current “operating system” while they discover how they can have a great deal more impact on the people and organization they lead.

Together, your executives gain new insight into the strengths, limitations and consequences of their current habits of thought.

Armed with this awareness, they commit to making concrete individual changes that will establish a senior leadership culture that supports sustainable, superior results.

Step 4: Follow-Through Support
All too often, insights and applications from a workshop setting are squandered because they are not reinforced or applied with any discipline back at work.

To counter this tendency, our design provides post-workshop support through one-on-one coaching sessions with each executive team member during the first few months following the workshop.

This coaching helps your leaders:

• Deepen their personal insights,
• Refine the implementation of their leadership development plans, and
• Sustain new more effective behaviors and the thought patterns behind them.

The Authentic Leader represents the leading edge of executive leadership development.

It will help your organization stay on the leading edge.
