Effective leaders begin by analyzing the external environment that impacts your organization. Your high potentials need tools to evaluate changes and challenges that could hinder progress. In this section, leaders learn how to assess external trends, analyze internal structures, and develop strategies to overcome obstacles. This includes practical discussions and exercises tailored to your organization.
Great leaders think outside the box. This section focuses on helping leaders expand their thinking and generate new ideas. After assessing their organization’s capacity for innovation, leaders learn how to prioritize, organize, and refine ideas. They also develop skills to facilitate productive conversations and address challenges in a collaborative and supportive environment.
Leaders must know how to gain support and overcome resistance to their ideas. This section helps high potentials understand how to anticipate resistance, build alliances, and negotiate strategically. Leaders develop the political competence needed to push their agendas forward, mapping out key stakeholders and understanding where power lies within the organization.
Coaching leadership is essential for team engagement. In this section, leaders build empathy and develop skills for coaching others effectively. They learn how to ask the right questions, give meaningful feedback, and empower their teams to overcome roadblocks and achieve their goals. This includes helping teams take ownership of the agenda and fostering a sense of success and accomplishment.
The Agenda Mover model equips leaders with four critical competencies: contextual, ideational, political, and facilitative. These competencies help leaders understand external challenges, generate innovative ideas, build coalitions, and coach their teams to success. Through hands-on learning, real-time feedback, and real-world application, we help your high potentials develop the skills they need to lead with confidence and drive results.
