LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
Effective leadership is critically important to the success of your company. Great leaders build effective teams, set goals, and guide the organization towards achieving those goals.
You may be looking for ways to become more effective as a leader. The way you communicate with your employees may need to improve. And, if you're like most other executives, you're probably delegating too little, too much, or to the wrong people. That behavior not only impacts your effectiveness but also that of your employees. In the end, it has an adverse effect on your company.
How do you treat people who make mistakes? How do you deal with your own mistakes and limitations? Are you open minded? Do you ask questions and solicit input, or do you give orders?
“Leaders are not born,
they are grown.”
~ Peter Drucker ~
It's more than your own leadership skills that matter. To ensure the future of your company, you'll need to identify and develop others with leadership potential. How do you grow the leadership talent in your company? How can you make sure that you pick the right candidates? What development do they need and how do you provide it?
Emotional Intelligence
For decades, people believed that the foundation of effective leadership included primarily intelligence, technical skills, and experience. However, over the past 15 years research has shown that Emotional Intelligence (EI) is the most crucial variable in leadership performance.
Emotional Intelligence, as developed by Daniel Goleman at Rutgers University, identifies the key areas of "self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management."
Most leadership training programs only explore the surface issues of effective leadership and ignore Emotional Intelligence. These programs may bring about short-term change but do not provide long-term solutions.
Leadership Development Programs
At Stanislaw Consulting we provide customized programs to improve leadership performance by focusing in-depth on individual leaders' strengths and limitations, evaluating all components of Emotional Intelligence. We assess behavior related to communication style, adaptability to change, and people skills, to name a few.
Next, we work closely with you on the step-by-step implementation of the leadership development plan through individual sessions and group meetings.
Identifying and developing the future leaders of your company follows a similar process. Careful assessments of those selected are the foundation for creating individual leadership development programs.
Developing leadership skills does not happen overnight. It takes time for new skills and attitudes to set in and become second nature. We are committed to transforming your company's leadership team by providing you with the direction best suited to your needs.
