unite-senior-leadership-development-program

For many senior leaders, promotion is just the start of a whole new set of unexpected problems. Many for the first time are asked to work on multiple teams with peers who have competing priorities. They might now be responsible for areas of the organization in which they don’t have technical expertise. And it’s not just about the teams they lead anymore, because now there’s a broader spectrum of constituents with which they have to engage.

Find out if the Unite! Leadership Development program is right for your senior leaders!

If your senior leaders are like many other tenured and experienced leaders, they are probably results oriented, motivated by challenge, but struggling with leadership behavioral tendencies that have a bigger impact on the organization. In fact, they are probably trying to navigate the following challenges that the Unite Leadership Development Program is designed to address head on:

The four challenges limiting senior leader effectiveness:

  1. Looking smart. When leaders are focused on looking smart, they tend to be less conscious of their impact to people, process and the business.
  2. A problem orientation. Leaders with a problem orientation focus on solving one problem at a time. They see a problem and they fix it. They see another problem and fix that one too. It’s a never-ending process of tension and relief as problems arise and the leader fixes them.
  3. A focus on compliance or consensus. Leaders with an overly aggressive style tend to create compliance, where team members comply because of an external source of motivation. Other leaders, with an overly agreeable style, focus on gaining consensus. The avoidant tendency that comes with this style often results in unproductive behaviors being tolerated in the workplace.
  4. Over emphasis on task management. Managing tasks is important and critical work at every level within an organization, but as a guiding orientation, it’s narrow, siloed, and mostly about getting things done. Senior leaders who play the role of glorified project managers get stuck in the status quo.

What organizations really want for senior leaders:

  • You want self-aware leaders who ultimately have a deeper understanding of themselves and the impact they have on others so they can maximize their relationships.
  • You want leaders with an outcome orientation who have a broader perspective and take a more systems approach so they operate at the right level. It’s an approach that requires leaders to (1) think beyond their own functional area, (2) consider a longer-term view, and (3) build people capacity.
  • You want leaders who are able to align their teams and build commitment instead of compliance or consensus.
  • You want leaders who are evangelists. They are supporters and representatives of a cause and focused on ensuring that the right things are being done in alignment with the vision and guiding direction of the organization.

These objectives are not only obtainable but can be achieved in a very short period of time with a structured approach that provides support along the way.

The solution? The Unite Leadership Development Program. This unique leadership and training program accelerates leadership development, resulting in senior leaders who have a vision, can align their teams and champion execution.
