Asking leaders to step up and take on the challenge of leading each day in an organization presumes they know how to lead effectively in the first place. Presuming leaders have the skills and talent to lead effectively is rarely a sound assumption.
We're not there yet, but the program my team and I built is headed in this direction. It doesn't have an end date, but we do require new members to sign-up and complete Admired Leadership during their first year. We hold 2X monthly sessions to hold people accountable, deep dive into specific behaviors, and provide a platform/audience to bring issues to the table. We offer 360s and Mentoring about 4 months after starting the program, and we offer 3 different leader assessments as diagnostic tools much later and on a case-by-case basis. As other training goes, we seek out and host workshops or Coffee & Chats about every other month. Currently, we have 22 leaders going through the Admired Leadership curriculum. Our goal is to turn many of them into Mentors for future members. We can't measure it yet, buy my Team and I are starting to notice richer/deeper conversations during our sessions. Admired Leadership is helping us develop a common language we can all speak and share with each other.
