The planning process for a Strategy-Linked Leadership Program includes:

• Target key segments of the management population for 1:1 development.



• Use the company’s 360° feedback instrument (or help the company create one).



• Discuss the results of the 360° feedback in a confidential 2-hour session.



• Help the individual identify key elements for his/her development plan.



• Conduct a 1-hour focusing session to ensure that the individual’s proposed development plan is aligned with his/her development needs and company priorities.



• Provide a structured process for a development discussion to be held between the participant and the sponsoring manager (optionally facilitated by the coach).



• Conduct follow up phone conversations to help the individual evaluate short-term progress and create additional action steps.
