LEADERSHIP
Lead your organization with confidence
Organizations differ in size, scope, and missions, however, every organization depends on decisive leadership to survive. Matching the right style of leadership for each new initiative is essential for the success of the project. To sustain innovative efforts an organization must invest in the leadership abilities of its people. Understanding some of the psychology surrounding the prospect of an innovative effort can help better innovators successfully navigate through their next improvement effort.
How can we better inspire people?
Motivated employees are good for any organization. Understanding what motivates your employees is an important part of leadership. PI can provide leadership support to help your organization connect its mission to its employees.
Assessments
Strong leaders are learners. Understanding how the world works is an essential insight for successful leadership. Learning about personal leadership traits is an important part of this insight. Every leader must reflect on their inventory of personal leadership qualities and invest effort into making the most of those attributes. Assessments are an extremely beneficial tool to quickly discern these leadership qualities. PI has access to many such assessments and has the ability to create custom instruments for specific situations or organizations.
Change Management
Leading a change agenda in any organization can be one of the most necessary and difficult tasks a leader can undertake. Fostering a large-scale improvement requires many steps and significant buy-in from every level within the organization. Change management can be one of the most rewarding and profitable efforts an organization undertakes too. Sometimes getting this powerful asset to work for the mission of the organization requires a little bit of help. We've guided others through this process with exciting results.
Executive Coaching
The more responsibility a leader has, the more details matter. Skills like active listening, decision-making, and having access to a leadership coach can improve good habits and help set necessary new ones.
Interim Leadership
Contengentcy and succession planning are important tasks to ensure that an organization has sufficient continuity of leadership, should a key role suddenly become vacant. In this position, many organizations will appoint an internal candidate to temporarily assume certain duties of the key leadership role until a suitable replacement candidate can be placed into the position. Such moments are great opportunities to re-evaluate the duties and scope of a given leadership role. PI can assist your organization with evaluating the leadership roles and recommend how a job description might change to align with the future needs of the organization. Additionally PI is available to provide hands-on assistance as interim fiduciary leadership representatives to help stabilize abrupt transitions should the situation require additional attention.
Staff Development
The topic of innovation can permeate an organization with excitement. This is a tremendous asset for creating momentum. The excitement generated by the innovation process attracts a lot of interest. Some of this interest is expressed by additional employee availability. Talented and motivated employees may express interest in participating in the new initiative. Employees looking for their next promotion may also apply. Retaining motivated employees is a good practice. Consultants from PI have experience helping organizations develop their students, staff, and volunteers.
Workshop Facilitation
Learning together as an organization can unleash a refreshing new revitalizing energy. Tapping into this resource can have significant and enduring results. Leaders who participate in learning new skills with their employees benefit from a better understanding of how the organization processes new information. Additionally, leaders are perceived as more approachable which has additional organizational morale benefits. Likewise, when employees learn with leaders they gain a better understanding of how new information is prioritized and some insight into how decisions are made. PI can help your organization put together a custom leadership workshop or present a workshop on a different topic for your organization. We have experience facilitating small intimate workshops of less than 20 and workshop events of more than 800. Let us help you with your next event.
