Individual Leadership Development
Your organization’s future depends on its people. Prepare them for what’s next and grow your leadership pipeline with individual leadership development tailored to their needs.
Our Transformational, Highly Personal Leadership Programs
A job promotion doesn’t automatically create a leader. It creates the opportunity to become one.
New, first-level, and frontline managers are the largest population of leaders at most organizations, the critical people responsible for day-to-day operations — so equip them to start strong.
Our predesigned, open-enrollment and customized new & frontline manager courses are carefully crafted to offer scalable ways to support development and address the challenges faced and skills needed at this leader level.
Leading from the middle isn’t about a position; it’s about balancing demands from above and needs of those below.
Our predesigned, open-enrollment and customized mid-level manager training programs develop the skills these key players need to effectively lead your organization from the middle. Our highly personalized, flagship Leadership Development Program (LDP)® is the individual leadership training that started it all — and now the most widely recognized and longest-running program of its kind in the world.
Leading the organization comes with a different set of demands. Do your top leaders have the strategic perspectives, mindsets, and skillsets needed for your organization to succeed?
Our prestigious, top-ranked executive leadership programs, including open-enrollment and customized options, make sure your senior leaders and top executives are harnessing their full potential. Perfect for those leading business units, regions, departments, divisions, functions, or the entire enterprise — as they steer your organization into the future.
Leadership Training for Individuals
Strengthen Your Pipeline With Leadership Development
You already know that to secure your organization’s future, your leadership pipeline must be sustainable. So to retain and strengthen your pool of future leaders, commit to developing talent at every level of your organization.
In our decades of research and hands-on experience, we’ve found that people are more committed and engaged when they have a clear career path, ample professional and personal leadership development opportunities, and the support they need to succeed. Another must? An individual leadership development plan. Personalized leadership development is simply a necessity.
Benefits of Personal Leadership Training
Learning to lead is an intensely personal experience — and one that shifts over time. Our research-based individual leadership development programs and leadership coaching services are specifically tailored to address what our research has found are the challenges faced and competencies needed most at each leader level, and are customized to the unique experience of each individual participant.
We can provide the right learning at the right time for all leaders — from individual contributors, new managers, and frontline leaders through mid-level leaders and senior executives. Our individual leadership development plans and programs can meet people where they are, and take your organization where it needs to go.
