Benchmark. Build. Brand.

Participants learn about the concept of leadership brand and contemplate how they would most like to be viewed as a leader in these unprecedented times. These aspirations then serve as a guide for daily leadership behaviors. Next, they receive feedback on a 360-degree assessment, Benchmarks for Managers™, to enhance self-awareness regarding their personal leadership reputations. Two subsequent coaching sessions, one during the workshop and one in the weeks following, prompt candid conversations about how to close the gap between reputation and aspirations. Rich discussions with peers also contribute to the development of meaningful and motivating action plans.

Learning Objectives

During this program, participants will:

  • Seek insight into who they are as leaders by reflecting on lessons learned over the years;
  • Define how they aspire to be known as leaders particularly in this time of crisis and change;
  • Enhance self-awareness by assessing their current leadership reputation;
  • Identify opportunities for creating the leadership brand they desire; and
  • Engage in two personalized coaching sessions to create a compelling plan for career development.
