for your Organization
Are you willing to do what it takes to awaken leadership within your organization?
The latest research reveals that:
- Great leadership equates to business growth, maximizes profitability and increases performance.
- Poor leadership generates business entropy, costs your organization money and decreases performance.
Are you willing to dramatically shift your thinking and change your patterns of behavior necessary to generate greater results?
If you are ready we can help.
- What happens in two days?
Sophia Associates, Inc. will customize and deliver a two-day leadership development intensive for your team or group1that is hands on, provocative and transformative. Your participants leave having worked on their personal leadership and team resiliency through real work challenges. They develop real-time quality action plans for improvement towards desired outcomes and project goals, and with strategies to build support for follow-through 2.
Day One is devoted to defining leadership, personally and organizationally. This is not a day outside of work. This IS the work! We will use current and real challenges faced by the participants as the context for the learning. Data generated by individual and group assessment will focus the day’s exercises and work and initiate honest, deep conversations that lead to mutual understanding and respect, innovative solutions and team commitments.
Day Two is devoted to teaching participants concrete techniques that support the attainment of their goals and that build personal and group resiliency. Participants will be able to apply their learning immediately by applying it in a safe environment through role-plays and exercises that mimic their current work-life challenges. Upon return to their work environment participants are encouraged to practice techniques to coach others and to continue new ways of thinking that improve business results and increase resiliency.
1Groups may be departments, divisions or project groups that share a common purpose.
2To leverage your investment and integrate results, we encourage follow up team dynamics coaching and facilitation that solidifies the learning and shifts the team to real-time self-generating and high-performance. Teams work on actual projects and goals while a skilled coach monitors team dynamics and coaches the team to greater effectiveness and productivity.

- Details
This learning experience provides a framework that allows participants to take full advantage of the latest, breakthrough research connecting leadership to business performance. The principles learned about leadership will support them in building a mind-set embracing proven principles and taking practical steps that will significantly improve business results and leadership ability.
The facilitation is hands on and highly experiential. The seminar engages participants at every level, from start to finish, by remaining interactive, provocative, and fun. In the process, participants discover the inner 'operating system' that links automatic thinking with leadership behavior. As a result, they will gain significant insight into the underpinnings of their leadership. This awareness increases leverage for change and will enable them to lead with greater passion, compassion, courage and effectiveness. Through their collaborative effort the participants will leave with ideas and suggestions for improving their performance and that of their team.
As an integral component, your group will work with the Leadership Culture Survey™. The Leadership Culture Survey delivers a powerful "litmus" test of your leadership culture. Used for your team, TLCS reveals valuable data: It tells you how your people view their current leadership culture, and compares that reality to the optimal culture they desire. The "gap" between data on their current culture and their desired culture instantly reveals key opportunities for leadership development. Furthermore, The Leadership Culture Survey measures how your leadership culture compares to that of other organizations. The Leadership Culture Survey builds readiness for change at the group level.
Additionally, each participant will receive Leadership Culture Profile™ - the breakthrough transformational 360-degree assessment used by cutting edge organizations. The Leadership Circle Profile provides in-depth feedback for individual leadership development. The profile measures behavior plus a leader’s inner operating system that runs that behavior while the survey measures the impact of that behavior on the team culture. Before participants come to this program, they will receive on-line feedback from their boss, boss's boss, peers and direct reports. When they arrive at the workshop, their own personal profile report will be waiting for them. It will reveal key opportunities for both professional and personal development and be a pivotal tool for transformation into a more effective and successful leader. During the seminar, participants may work one to one with the Coach/Facilitator on more in-depth understanding of their data as time permits. Combining The Leadership Culture Survey and The Leadership Circle Profile illustrates the impact individuals have on their team and makes a case for mutual accountability for high performing teams.
