Developing Your Leadership Brand is designed for managers who wish to understand how colleagues perceive their current behavior and to define their own leadership aspirations for the future.
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.
