Leadership Development Program (LDP)

THE LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM ® (LDP) IS:

Our program targeted to intact teams of between 8 to 10 mid- to high-level managers. Its goal is to improve individual and group leadership effectiveness by:

	•	Clarifying organizational goals;
	•	Improving communication across organizational boundaries; and
	•	Linking concrete behavior changes to tangible business outcomes, such as productivity, profitability, innovation and customer satisfaction.

Simply put, this process aligns people with business systems for better results.

"Skill at creating, exploiting, and exiting crucial relationships beats ownership of fixed assets."

-Tom Peters

HOW DOES IT WORK?

LDP sessions are 5 hours in length and occur once a month for 9 months. The LDP is highly customized with topics determined by the needs of the organization, the group, and the immediately relevant demands of day-to-day operations. Through a combination of instruction, experiences, and coaching, this format gives participants the highest amount of practical data in the shortest amount of time. The monthly format provides an opportunity to test new learnings and to return on a monthly basis to discuss successes and failures.

THE RESULTS?

	•	Improved communication across departments;
	•	Increased buy-in to the organization's vision and direction;
	•	Practical support for organizational changes;
	•	Improved performance of leaders in managing themselves and others;
	•	Reduction in inefficiencies, redundancies and conflicts.

Producing the Dollars to Prove It

Nine months ago, we were a new team facing organizational uncertainty and serious business challenges. Our team had to gel quickly, start changing the culture AND produce substantial results in a hurry. By investing just half a day per month in the LDP process, our team developed as much in 4 months as most groups do in 2 years, if ever.

Today, we have clarity about our organizational strengths and weaknesses, we trust in our team's ability to engage in healthy debate, we question long-held assumptions, and we're producing the dollars to prove it!
