After almost four decades of working with CEOs, heads of HR, and leaders at all levels, ADVISA has seen that customized learning experiences and programs are the most effective way to equip leaders to propagate your intentional culture.
Leader Effectiveness is just one of the?5 drivers of cultural competitive advantage.
Tactics to help your leaders
Identify key leader capabilities.?
Determine what leaders need to “say” and “do” to live out the culture and move the business strategy forward. These observable behaviors define what effective leadership looks like within your organization.
Offer internal, authentic leadership development journeys at all levels.?
Access to knowledge about how to generally lead effectively is infinite – books, podcasts, events, external leadership forums, leadership workshops. Authentic leadership development is customized to reflect your mission/vision/values, and it explicitly addresses your leader capabilities, thus propagating your intentional culture within and throughout the learning experience.
Provide coaching and mentoring opportunities.?
Leadership is lonely and managers are in crisis.?Match senior leaders with more junior leaders and managers for informal coffee chats. Engage with outside coaches to help leaders make real progress toward their development goals. Set the expectations for regular 1-on-1s between employees and their direct supervisor.
Prioritize wellness initiatives.?
Leaders’ wellbeing is paramount to their ability to lead effectively.?Keep a close eye on signs of burnout and provide support and resources. Ask your leaders about how they are managing their stress. Tell them that you care about their mental and physical health. Normalizing wellness conversations with leaders will have a cascading effect throughout the organization.
