Leadership Development for Frontline Managers

Drive Innovation

To foster innovation, leaders must actively champion it. The Five Practices® teach leaders behaviors critical for challenging the process and inspiring a shared vision, equipping them with the skills to cultivate a culture of innovation.

How Does It Work?

Becoming an exemplary leader starts with understanding yourself. Our comprehensive Leadership Practices Inventory® (LPI®) assessments measure a leader’s effectiveness based on the frequency with which they exhibit 30 essential leadership behaviors. Think of it like a roadmap to guide each individual towards extraordinary leadership.

Participants receive a customized report that highlights the areas where they excel and areas for improvement. They also learn specific actions they can take to enhance their performance to become an exemplary leader.

The learning culminates in a facilitator-led, group workshop or one-on-one coaching session, where personalized insights from the leader’s report come to life through powerful activities and impactful discussions to help them build the skills they need to grow as a frontline manager.
