Leadership Development

All successful leaders must perform effectively within a team context to deliver business results. Our Jungian-oriented Leadership Development is done through a flexible suite of training and development programs that are customized for business objectives and the development needs of the organization. Programs range from workshops for executive teams to group training for senior and mid-level leaders.

Core leadership development topics include communication, active listening, authenticity, empathy, influencing and resilience. Senior leader training includes additional skill-building in giving feedback, building trust, making trade offs, dealing with paradox, and managing stakeholders. For the executive team, workshops begin with Visiva Leadership®, which provides the framework for deeper conversations that build empathy and trust.

The enhanced self-awareness, self-management and leadership skills gained in these programs lead to better team alignment, greater engagement, and improved business results.

Case Study

Workshop series improves leadership communications and decision-making

Client

Small pharmaceutical company

Situation

The Leadership Team of a small pharmaceutical company had grown to 17 members, too large for effective decision-making. The company wanted to divide the team into an Executive Leadership Team and a Leadership Team one level down. The challenge was to do so while keeping everyone fully engaged and maintaining effective communications between the two teams.

LAL Solution

After meeting with all key stakeholders to understand roles and concerns, Letizia Amadini Lane designed a series of workshops with the team members to define the composition of the two teams and work through the logistics of working together. The series of workshops defined responsibilities and accountabilities, established who would be on each team, identified decision-making rights and boundaries, defined team charters, and established the relative accountabilities for each team. Woven throughout these task-focused activities were leadership development exercises to improve communications, personal effectiveness, and self-awareness.

Bottom Line

The workshops had “tremendous impact” and were “extremely beneficial,” according to the VP, Human Resources. Decision-making has improved since the two teams were created: it is more streamlined and less chaotic, with clarity about accountabilities and process. All members are fully engaged. Communications flow smoothly between the two teams, and the enhanced trust and respect formed in the workshops ensures that everyone has visibility and voice.
