Emerging Leaders

Areas Of Focus

Strategic Planning

Every successful small and mid-sized organization has a viable plan. Strategic Planning is a process to determine the future of the organization and what resources will be needed to ensure success.

Emerging Leadership Development & Coaching

 In today’s global business arena, emerging leaders can be assured of several things: the challenges facing them today will become even more intense; the speed with which change occurs will increase; and competition will intensify.
Business Planning Process & Outcomes

Effective emerging leaders today have found that developing a Vision, Mission, Strategy and a specific plan or action contributes to long-term sustained success. With the Business Alignment Model as a backdrop, our Strategic Planning process helps corporate leaders determine not only where their organization wants and needs to go, but also, how it will get there. The Strategic Planning process covers critical issues and creates deliverables the following:

  • Business Philosophy
  • Vision and Mission Statements
  • Organizational Goals

  • Measurements for Sustainable Success

As a result of this process, an emerging leader will be able to achieve measurable increases in revenue and profit, focus on attracting and servicing clients and a defined strategic direction.

Sales Development

Leadership is Salesmanship! Like the profession of Leadership, the field of Sales continues to experience dramatic and far-reaching changes over recent years. 

Business Process Improvement

It is said that processes comprise up to 85% of the issues in any business.  All successful businesses are run on five core processes and a host of supporting processes.

Sales Development Process & Outcomes

Buyers are better educated, more informed and have more options than ever before. Success in the world of Sales depends on a leader’s ability to help the sales team reinvent itself and their processes and apply them for improved results consistent with changing customer’s needs.

Business Process Improvement Outcomes

Changing the status quo to meet customer and supplier demands and increase revenue has become one of the foremost business issues of today’s competitive corporate environment. Whether providing a tangible product or or services or both, ensuring these operational processes are effective and relevant to sustainable growth of their business is key to the corporate leader’s success.  Our processes listed below can be facilitated individually or in any combination with other processes:

  • Inbound logistics and Outbound Logistics
  • Core Business Operations
  • Sales and Marketing
  • Customer Service
  • Supporting Processes (Human Recourses, Financial Operations, Technology Support etc.)

As a result of improving these processes, the corporate leader will be able to help their organization achieve measureable increases in profit margin, revenue, operations and focus in a sustainable manner. 

Business Assessments

There is likely no better tool to helping the emerging leader succeed than self-awareness. Self-awareness involves looking across different aspects of one’s attitudinal thought processes to create a complete view of YOU.

Business Assessment Outcomes

To reach optimal performance you must understand WHAT natural talents you have, WHY you are motivated to use them and HOW you prefer to use them. We combine the 3 assessments in the ADVanced Insights to provide the most current and up-to-date input to an emerging leader's self-awareness journey.

  • Over 50 years of scientific research reveals 3 distinct decision-making styles – Personal, Practical and Analytical.  Emerging Leaders make decisions using all 3 styles yet tend to develop a preference for one over the other two.  Our Attribute Index provides information on WHAT attributes the entrepreneur uses to make decisions: Intrinsically, Extrinsically or Systematically.
  • Our DISC Index provides the most comprehensive view of HOW an emerging leader prefers to behave especially in the context of working with team members, as a leader or in any environment that requires conflict resolution.
  • Everyone has their own unique mix of personal drivers and motivators to help guide them to success. Using the Values Index helps understand WHY an emerging leader is motivated to do things so they are able to better align themselves to their environment with what creates in them the most passion.

These individual assessments can be leveraged by themselves or in conjunction with other individual assessments and development processes. They can also be used to assist the emerging leader in the hiring process as they grow their organizations.
