Leadership & Talent Development

• Are your high performers living up
   to their potential?

• Do you want to reduce executive
   derailment?

• Are promotion decisions transparent
   and easily explained?

• Want to know more about the gaps in current organizational theory?

• Is your succession planning and leader pipeline in place?

• Are your leaders also great performance managers?

Talent development
The 360° evaluation is a highly-regarded method to elicit key perceptions about a person’s on-the-job skills and behaviours because feedback to the recipient is solicited from their staff, peers, and leaders. It is a sensible approach to take because the recipient has multiple roles as a leader, peer, and follower, all of which have to be executed well. And yet, most organizations miss critical elements in developing 360° action plans based on the evaluations. Research shows that a whole picture approach – creating action plans that recognize the recipient is simultaneously a leader, a peer, and a follower – is strongly linked to both personal and organizational success. Consider, for example, the case of a high potential employee who has become a great leader, but is not in turn a good follower. When their chances for a promotion get blocked (as often happens to poor followers even when their other skills are excellent), they get frustrated. This is a fairly common path to executive derailment and the loss of the best talent.

Leadership and performance management
Leadership is about creating a vision, developing a strategy, and then seeing it through to execution. Being a good leader means knowing how to engage staff in the process, and knowing how to support them in executing the strategy. It is a true partnership, one that requires sets of complementary skills. At FliPskills, we have developed a unique model consisting of five complementary partnership skills. Our programs train leaders on these skills so that they can, in turn, develop their staff, create stronger teams, and become better performance managers. These are things every leader needs to know.

Programs
FliPskills offers a number of programs specifically for executives and top talent. These include:

• Executive briefings - approximately 1-2 hour sessions for
   small groups of senior and C-suite staff)

• Keynote talks - 1-3 hour talks, perfect for strategic offsites or larger meetings

• High potential training - variable formats available to enhance your
   current program, or develop a new one

• Executive on-boarding and coaching - one-on-one coaching to
   integrate executives more quickly into the management team,
   or to diagnose and support executives currently experiencing
   blockages in their career

• Senior leader integration – a half-day workshop designed to
   complement your current program for introducing a new senior
   leader to their team

• Leadership development – one day to multi-day workshops
   that significantly enhance the ability of leaders to create 360°
   action plans, strengthen their performance coaching, enhance
   goal-setting, be more effective decision makers, mentor junior
   staff, and build more productive partnerships with staff, their boss,
   and peers.
