Leadership Development
LEADERSHIP TRANSFORMATION PROGRAM
70% of the variance between a lousy culture and a strong culture is the knowledge, skills, and talent of your team leaders. Strong culture equals engaged employees. Engaged employees mean lower turnover, higher retention, higher productivity, and ultimately, higher profitability.
Bottom line: Your team leaders have 70% of the influence over whether an employee stays or chooses to leave, 70% of the influence over the productivity of your employees, and as a result, influence over your business profitability.

Most leaders are not equipped for that responsibility. Are yours?
- Do your leaders actively coach and provide feedback to employees?
- Do your leaders feel comfortable and confident holding employees accountable?
- Do your leaders focus on leading their team (rather than managing the work of the team)?
OUR LEADERSHIP TRANSFORMATION PROGRAM
This program equips managers, supervisors, and leads with the skills to be effective leaders. It helps managers build strong relationships with employees, provide meaningful and effective feedback, address performance concerns, and proactively retain high-performing employees.
This 12-month program goes beyond learning the skills and tools to implementing the skills and tools into daily habits. This is accomplished through an eight (8) week learning process, followed by ten (10) months of engagement and support to sustain and reinforce the skills and tools throughout the year.
Praise from Business Leaders

Praise from Participants
“This is a very well-planned and delivered training program. The assignments provide opportunities to apply the lesson, and the weekly meetings with other participants provide an excellent review and opportunity to discuss questions and concerns. I think most businesses would learn a great deal that would strengthen their organization by offering this to their leadership.”
“This has been very informative and supportive in becoming a manager.”

Clients and businesses tell us that they are STRUGGLING. Struggling to find any candidates (let alone good candidates). They are hiring people they never thought they would hire because A body is better than NO body (the biggest qualification is whether the person can pass a drug test). And to top it off, they are struggling with poor performance from employees because if they try to address the issue, the person will leave, and again, A body is better than NO body.
In the Ignite to Transform for Team Leaders program, we provide a framework for providing impactful feedback that engages and motivates employees. Then we practice it!
The cost of losing one good hire is $29,600. The cost of a bad hire is $14,900. Rather than losing money and spinning your wheels, why not invest in your people strategies? For the cost of one bad hire, you could invest in leadership development for 10 of your people leaders. Think of the trickle-down impact that would have on your organization!
