Many corporations waist large sums on leadership development and management consultants. Either because the changes are short lasting or because the development of new leadership behavior does not support the strategy. Hence, the changes do not create improved business results.
We recommend cost saving by avoiding: 1) Allowing leadership development to become a separate activity compared to everyday work responsibilities. 2) Using an excessive number of consultants. 3) Spending time and money on the same leadership training over and over again with no beneficial results.
The solution is to become self-supplying and self-renewing in regards to good and effective leadership. The best way to learn the art of leadership is from involvement and participation in an apprenticeship. We assist experienced leaders and the entire management system to handle this responsibility.
One of the benefits hereof, is that new leaders better fulfill the leadership role when starting in new management positions. A key business advantage is that the vision, goal and strategy of the company become natural guidelines for all leaders, and their every day actions.
The first small step towards self-supplying and self-renewing leadership is a short term approach where you help the leaders to succeed with challenges faced here and now. But if this is all you do, it must be done over and over again. As consultants we can of cause live with that and live from it, but can your company live with it? We are open for assisting with leadership development covering needs in the very short run, but we advise that it does not stay with that.
