Emerging Leader Program
In rapid growth environments managers must continually grow their skills while meeting their goals and objectives. This kind of situation puts a great deal of pressure on the manager and the company’s training and development support structure. Additionally, higher-level skill sets such as influencing, building organizations, and strategy development require significant investments in time and resources that are rarely, if ever, available inside the company.
It is in this kind of environment that the Emerging Leader Program (ELP) from Leadership Coaching produces the greatest benefits. Utilizing the latest research on management development, and expertise gained from over 20 years in the coaching field, the Emerging Leader system represents a significant advancement in the field of Executive Development. This intensive one-on-one system incorporates state of the art tools and techniques to accelerate a manager’s development.
Program Description
ELP is a proposal-driven, customized coaching program for the mid to senior level manager. Utilizing a philosophy of linking objectives, the system focuses on helping the manager acquire or enhance skills that contribute to the company’s success. Each leader is assigned a coaching team made up of a primary and secondary coach.
Rather than a "one size fits all" program, ELP is based on a customized Development Roadmap that outlines the tactics and strategy that will be used to address the unique needs of the manager. This roadmap is developed through a set of initial interviews and is refined in the early stages of the program.
Over the course of the ELP, managers will engage in five types of activity.
 Pre-work involves gathering background and work context information. |
| Clarification includes revising developmental objectives, identifying relevant components, setting performance targets, and defining success indicators. |
| Baselining involves assessing the manager’s current performance. |
| Feedback activities revolve around establishing the Coaching Alliance. |
| Change activities include measurement and monitoring, practice, experimentation, and learning new models and techniques. |
