How can effective leadership be measured?
The measure of leaders’ effectiveness can be seen in the behavior of their “followers,” in their ability to inspire, focus, and motivate direct reports and peers (see Measure of a Leader by Daniels & Daniels). Excellent leaders create momentum, commitment, initiative, and trust in others. Yet organizations often anoint managers and supervisors as leaders based on their job title or their technical expertise rather than their ability to align and motivate others.
ADI’s science-based approach to leadership development aligns and optimizes leadership practices so that people skills become an organizational core competency.
What is ADI’s approach to leadership development?
ADI’s first step in developing leaders is to assess their practices and impact on others. This helps leaders see how others perceive them. Their impact can be quite different from how they perceive themselves. We provide objective and actionable feedback so that leaders can grow their people skills, establish themselves as reinforcers to others, and begin to have a more positive impact. They do this by first focusing on their own behavior.
ADI consultants also work with leaders to help them analyze performance problems and business issues from a behavioral perspective. This ensures that their coaching and decision-making produces an outcome better aligned with their goals.
What do organizations gain from ADI’s leadership development?
ADI’s science-based approach to leadership development will help your organization develop consistency in leadership excellence. You will gain a reproducible management process for focusing your workforce on what matters most and for setting up positive accountability for making it happen. Your workforce will look to your leaders not because of their position, but because they have faith that your leaders can help them succeed.
What leadership training does ADI offer?
We go beyond teaching targeted skills such as how to give helpful feedback. We teach leaders why people do what they do and the fundamentals of how to positively influence behavior. Leaders learn science-based tools and approaches they can apply to address any performance challenge. Leaders from the executive suite to frontline supervisors build the skills they need to accelerate business performance.
