Organizations

Leadership Enhancement Associates works to develop organizations by providing the following services:

Board Development and Retreats

We work with clients to customize interventions designed to assist and enhance Board and organizational effectiveness. These interventions include a variety of actions to:

Assess current Board and organization effectiveness
Clarify roles and responsibilities
Conduct S.W.O.T. analyses
Facilitate strategic planning
Establish goals and action steps

Cultural Assessment and Design

Cultural Assessment and Design is a comprehensive, systematic approach to identify current cultural dynamics, strengths, and challenges of an organization. The group then identifies the desired "future" culture and develops strategies for making it a reality.

Customized 360-Degree Instruments

Competency modeling is the process of working with clients to identify the core leadership competencies needed to take their organization into the future. This process utilizes highly proven methodology to validate internal leadership competencies with nationally recognized standards. These competencies are then used to design assessment instruments, establish individual development action plans, and measure progress.

Leading and Managing Change

Organizations today are dealing with constant change. It is not enough to just manage change, executives need to lead change and assist associates navigating the dynamics that surround it. Leadership Enhancement Associates works with clients as guides in this process of transformational change. Initiating behaviors is challenging but remaining stagnant or going back "to the way it was" are not options.

Management Assessments

Management Assessments are used to provide objective data around the current competency level of leaders. A variety of data collection instruments and methods are used, such as Leadership Work Styles Inventory, Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, 360-degree surveys, 360-degree interviews, and stakeholder interviews. The data are analyzed and used to develop individual action plans.

Management Development Initiatives

Management Development Initiatives focus on designing customized initiatives that provide ongoing development of managers and supervisors. These initiatives are designed to enhance skills and competencies needed for current and future organizational effectiveness. Methods include:

Assess needs—individuals and organization
Establish measures for success
Select criteria
Create nomination process
Identify participants
Design program
Confirm program design
Deliver program
Monitor and measure

Organization/Function Assessments

We work in partnership with clients to develop customized organizational assessment instruments and processes to assess the effectiveness of individuals, teams, divisions, and entire systems.
