Business Challenge
Companies are increasingly concerned about the impact their leaders have on the morale, retention, and productivity of their employees, particularly their high potentials. In many cases, new leaders and those with technical backgrounds have never had a formal opportunity to learn effective leadership skills. The results can be significant, with inexperienced leaders’ unintentionally increasing turnover, lowering morale, and reducing employee productivity.
Who will benefit?
The Leadership Development Series is suited for first-time leaders, leaders with a technical or staff background, as well as senior leaders (Directors and VPs) who would benefit from a formal leadership development experience. It is ideally suited for organizations seeking to expand the capabilities of their leaders and managers through a practical, direct, and rigorous process.
The Focus
The Advisory Alliance’s Leadership Development Series is a field-tested development process that increases leaders’ ability and effectiveness in working with others. It provides participants with an honest and frank view of themselves; the opportunity to build on their leadership strengths, and mitigate their potential weaknesses; and offers very specific recommendations and best practices to lead and manage direct reports more confidently and effectively.
Outcomes
By implementing the Leadership Development Series, your organization will:
- Increase the leadership capabilities and performance of your leaders and managers so they become more strategic, more self-directed and self-managing.
- Provide your leaders and managers with a candid forum to examine their leadership strengths and confront their potential liabilities.

Delivery
Delivered in ½- and full-day sessions, The Advisory Alliance’s Leadership Development Series is typically delivered over several months, reflecting the capacity and pace of the organization. For those requiring a more compressed format, a 2 – 3 day program is also available.
