Leadership Development for Individual Contributors

Individual contributors are the backbone of organizational growth, yet they face distinct challenges. They must boost their own performance, work across departments, and adapt to fast-changing technology—all while lacking formal authority to drive change.

Our customizable and scalable leadership development experiences empower these pivotal players to excel and lead from where they stand.

The Leadership Challenge® Helps Individual Contributors:

Accelerate Development

Leadership isn’t just theory; it’s a practical skill for all. By investing in people development, especially nurturing new leaders through The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership®, we accelerate their growth. These practices provide the tools and language to make an immediate impact while honing skills for future challenges.

Improve Organization Performance and Innovation

Research confirms that leaders who actively engage in The Five Practices® achieve better results than those who do not. The Leadership Challenge® equips your leaders with essential skills to navigate complexity and drive success.

Drive Ownership and Accountability

Research shows that employees who view themselves as leaders and consistently practice The Five Practices experience a powerful shift; they feel more committed, empowered, and influential, leading to increased personal ownership and accountability.

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 an individual contributor.
