First-Time Leaders Accelerated℠ Process
A proven four-phase process designed to transform the right people into confident, people-centered leaders who create Contagious Performance Improvement℠ throughout your organization.
Great Leaders Begin with a Great Process
Organizations spend thousands of dollars recruiting talented people, then entrust them with the responsibility of leading their people, often with little or no preparation.
The results are predictable: preventable first-time leader failure, disengaged employees, unnecessary turnover, and dysfunctional cultures.
The Problem Is Not Your People. It Is the Process.
The First-Time Leaders Accelerated℠ Process provides a practical, proven roadmap to help your organization select the right future leaders, prepare them for success, support them through their transition, and reinforce the behaviors that create lasting performance improvement.
Phase 1: Select & Assess
Great leadership begins before people become a leader. Not everyone should lead people, and promoting the wrong person can be one of the most expensive decisions your organization makes. This phase helps identify people who possess the mindset, desire, and readiness to become successful people-centered leaders, before the investment in training begins.
Phase 2: Transform & Transition (First-Time Leaders Accelerated℠ Lab)
Becoming a leader isn't a promotion. It's a career transformation. During this immersive, full-day Lab, people learn the essential communication, emotional intelligence, trust-building, and leadership skills needed to successfully transition from individual performer to people-centered leader. Leaders leave prepared to lead people with confidence from day one.
Phase 3: Lead People
Learning becomes leadership through experience. Participants apply what they've learned while leading real people, navigating real conversations, solving real challenges, and building trust with their teams. This phase is where leadership knowledge becomes leadership capability.
Phase 4: Coaching Reinforcement
Training creates awareness. Coaching creates lasting improvement. As leaders encounter new situations, coaching reinforces the principles taught in the Lab, strengthens decision-making, builds confidence, and accelerates continued growth. Coaching bridges the gap between learning and sustained performance.
Outcome: Contagious Performance Improvement℠
When organizations consistently select the right people, prepare them well, support them during their transition, and reinforce what they learn, something remarkable happens. Leadership improves. People become more engaged. Trust grows. Performance spreads. Improvement becomes contagious. That's Contagious Performance Improvement℠. It isn't achieved through one training session. It's the natural outcome of following the right leadership development process.
