"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."

 

                              -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Preparing a Future Leader Why? It is absolutely essential that you spend time today preparing tomorrow’s leaders. Future leaders may be performing well in their current positions, but their current positions may not grow the skills they need—strategic planning, assertiveness, presenting, negotiating, coaching, etc—to succeed at the next level. We assess the future leader on the competencies critical for success at the next level, develop an action plan to enable him/her to master those competencies, and work with him/her over the course of a year to implement the new skills. Tools: Competency models; anonymous 360-degree interviews; assessments of leadership style, critical thinking, values, and interpersonal style. Time: 12-24 months; 8 hours in months one and two; 2-4 hours in subsequent months.
