Integrating leadership assessment with strategic leadership training
Leadership Training and Leadership Workshops
Leadership Development Surveys
Is your organizational culture promoting leadership development for desired high-performace and competitive edge?
This strategic question is best addressed using leadership development surveys. And apart from helping you to get clarity on such an important question, leadership development surveys should be used to identify and highlight—in an insightful, business-linked manner—the leadership requirements of your organization. This would include what is required in relation to organizational leadership—e.g., on how the organization wants to see itself and be seen based on its strategic vision. Besides, use leadership development surveys to identify, highlight, clarify, and establish the leadership character, attributes, attitudes, style, and outlook required of potential leaders across the business that fit its strategic and competitive realities and vision.
When integrated with fit-for-purpose performance management systems—and aspects of leadership performance scorecards—leadership development surveys could help you identify key staff in the organization that have the right leadership potential, aptitude and attributes for your business.
Leadership Performance Scorecards
How are members of your leadership teams and senior management staff rating on metrics of leadership performance?
Establishing and formalizing organization-wide, or business-wide, leadership performance metrics could involve using customized leadership inventories and leadership performance scorecards. As there is no one-fit-profile of leadership, particularly so in diverse organizations, business cultures, and competitive realities, your business would have to develop leadership performance scorecards that are fit for purpose. In fact, such leadership performance scorecards would have performance metrics, dimensions and degrees scaled to different levels, units and strategic and operational situations in the organization. An intergated approach to developing leadership performance scorecards involves conducting a strategic organizational assessment—with particular emphasis on the leadership status, gaps, metrics, and standards for desired organizational leadership, culture and transformational performance.
Organization of Leadership Workshops
To make significant progress in transformational leadership development in your organization, integrate the use of leadership development surveys and performance scorecards with strategy-linked transformational leadership training.
Based on insightful, strategy-linked organizational assessments or organizational leadership development surveys, periodic leadership training, strategic leadership projects, and transformational leadership performance workouts, should be organized for leaders and potential leaders—and as required by, and relevant to, the strategic and competitive situation of the organization.
Such strategic leadership training and transformational leadership workshops should incorporate survey feedback, open house forums, leadership mini-projects,—and strategic, situational and organizational leadership reviews, which may involve using customized leadership development inventories or surveys, and leadership performance scorecards.
Doing this would generate the drive—among key stakeholders—to focus on organizational leadership and strategic issues and at the same time on exploring and promoting key metrics, dimensions and atttributes of high-performance leadership in the organization. This may create the right environment for viral self-leadership development in the organization. Such periodic organizational leadership training and transformational leadership workouts would also enhance the commitment of key stakeholders to the organization's vision of organizational change, leadership and performance.

One way to develop and sustain desired organizational leadership performance and culture is through viral self-leadership and self-empowerment.
