Organizations typically engage a leadership consultant for two main reasons:

1. A leadership offsite has been scheduled, and they need a last-minute agenda filler, prompting them to find a consultant quickly.
2. The team is navigating change and experiencing dysfunction, leading them to seek an external consultant to resolve issues and reduce stress.

The impact of this approach includes:

• The training's effectiveness depends on the consultant's skills and tools rather than targeting areas with the highest potential for impact.
• The training is disconnected from a strategic plan, resulting in a lack of long-term sustainability and effectiveness.
• Progress is not monitored effectively, making measuring return on investment (ROI) challenging.

The solution: 

Take a proactive and strategic approach to talent management, beginning with data collection. This will help your team identify where to focus their efforts and establish essential benchmark data to measure success. Follow these steps:

• Benchmark Your Organization
  • Complete the FREE Talent Optimizers People Strategy Survey to gauge your organization's overall health. A people strategy outlines your company's approach to recruiting, retaining, training, and engaging its workforce, ensuring employees align with business goals. Remember, businesses thrive on their people, and their success depends on them.
