Transforming Your Leadership Pool | The Spark Vol. 3

Reframing Leadership Development through Transformational Learning Experiences

Younger workers are hungry for learning opportunities and are asking for career paths and development plans like never before. And they mean business. Forbes reported 74% of Millennials and Gen Z would quit their jobs due to a lack of career mobility and development opportunities. Given that Millennials and Gen Z currently make up 38% of the global workforce, the time and investment needed to meet their demands and deepen your leadership bench can feel insurmountable. Not to mention, nearly one-third of all the money invested into leadership development in the U.S. is “wasted” because sending someone off to a workshop isn’t enough to create leaders who are effective at engaging and developing others.

??

Thirty years of research reveals adult learning happens 70% on the job or with stretch projects, 20% through relationships and mentorship, and only 10% in the classroom. Most development investments focus only on the 10%. At ADVISA, we believe people deserve learning experiences that include all the following:?

• New knowledge and skills?
• Meaningful connections between learners and between participants and their managers?
• On-the-job application of new knowledge and skills with fast feedback?
• Just-in-time access to tools and support?

If you are interested in learning more about ADVISA’s systemic approach to effective leader development and how our team utilizes the 10/20/70 rule in creating transformative learning experiences, reach out. We will connect you to the appropriate team member to schedule a 30-minute conversation. And, in the meantime, you can learn more about leadership effectiveness by visiting our website.??

Step 1 to becoming a great leader? Self-awareness. That’s where it all starts! Our Leadership Academy provides established leaders and managers of managers with the knowledge and skills necessary to drive business success. This 9-month academy includes personalized coaching, a Leadership Development Project and experiential development.

Success Through Discipline?

All too often is leadership development focused on teaching skills, rather than centered on the importance of learning. At ADVISA we approach leader development through a 10/20/70 rule.

• 10% is knowledge and skill
• 20% hinges on relationships
• 70% is environment

Learn more about the breakdown of this rule here.

Great Leadership: This or That?

How do you describe leadership qualities? Is your description the same as the person next to you? We get trapped in defining leadership with qualities that aren’t measured the same across the board.

At ADVISA we have made a small shift with a giant impact: leadership capabilities.?

Discover the impact this small change can make in your leaders.

How to Build Effective Leadership Development

It is becoming all too common for toxic workplace culture to be the driving factor of “the Great Resignation.” Having effective leadership development can entirely shift the culture of the workplace, but how can your company create effective leaders?

Here are four elements you can’t ignore:

1. Use data to diagnose your own current state. What behaviors are most observed among leaders?
2. Knowing isn’t doing. When you know better, you can choose to do better.
3. When everything is important, nothing is. The more we try to achieve, the less likely our success becomes.
4. If you can’t measure it, it doesn’t exist. Measuring observable behaviors is the only way to verify impact.
