When looking to the growth/improvement of leadersip competencies, most popular aproach of decision makers within companies is to send them to leadership oriented programs. An aproach which is basically about learning something new as a cognitive process.
The real issue of already succesful leaders is not the”KNOW-HOW”; it is the ”SHOW-HOW”. Meaning they know already what is apropriate to do, but they have difficulties in actually doing it.
Here it is what Marshall Goldsmith, considered as the nr.1 leadership thinker in the world, wrote in an article related to that:
”People don't get better because they go to "programs". They don't get better because they listen to motivational speakers. They only get better if they pick something important to improve on, involve the people around them and follow up in a disciplined way. Long-term change in leadership effectiveness takes time, follow-up and discipline - not just understanding.
This is a critical insight for HR and business leaders. It is the basis of our Stakeholder Centered Coaching methodology which puts these concepts into a clear 7-step process: involving those around a leader to help the leader improve in specified leadership growth areas through consistent feedback and follow-up. In our experience when organizations make coaching an HRD process available inside the organization the results are phenomenal.”
Having in mind that the SCC proved along 40 years its efectiveness for more that 11000 leaders from big international companies on 4 continents (more than 95% of leaders improved measurably significant their efectiveness in the leadership areas/competencies they choosed) we have the confidence on which to base our ”no growth – no pay” commercial proposal.
More than that: statitics and comprehensive research show that 35% from the financial results of a company is due to its culture (the rest of 65% is due to other factors like market environment, access to resources, specific legislation ... ). And the culture of a company is due between 50%-70% to the behaviors of its leaders. Therefore, it means that about 20% of the financial results of a company is due to the behaviors of its leaders. Therefore the improvement of leadership behaviors is the single biggest factor determining the increase of the financial performance of a company.
