Harness the ability of your leaders and remain competitive! 

CEOs and business owners need to be constantly developing the leadership skills of line managers to remain competitive in an ever-changing business environment.

By harnessing your managers’ leadership ability, you can help your people and your business reach their full potential.

In order to grow your business and remain competitive, you need a process to drive learning and growth in your leaders.

The potential benefits are great:

• – Not only higher performance from the managers and their direct reports, but those impacts trickling down to front line staff.

Here are Five Steps to Developing your Business Leaders

1. Analyse your gap

From the start, you need to do an audit of your leaders current skills to highlight gaps on which to focus. A needs analysis will pinpoint key learning needs and set the goals of what you want to achieve. Engage all current and potential leaders to seek feedback and ensure alignment with your current business objectives and overall company vision.

2. Time for a plan

A great leadership program is not just a one-off event, it should be a well-structured process based on your clearly defined learning outcomes. Select the most suitable training and coaching topics ranging from problem solving, communication and change success, to driving project teams, delegation and motivation. Incorporate learning across different managers and areas of the business, creating synergies.

3. Delivery method

Delivery of your program will depend on the location of your leaders and the resources available to engage them. Find the right balance of traditional face-to-face training and online delivery through webinars and online training modules. An online support network also enables leaders to collaborate with peers and have access to expert facilitators anywhere.

4. Talk to an expert

Engage an outside expert in leadership training and coaching if you don’t have the expertise in-house or if it’s time for a fresh view of what your business needs. Having a tailored solution to meet the unique needs of your business can save you precious time and avoid costly mistakes.

5. Change is the one constant

Leadership development is not a ‘set and forget’ program that you leave on the shelf to become outdated. By regularly monitoring your program and relevance to your management team, you will be able to adapt it to keep up with the changes in your business environment. This will ensure you remain competitive.
