Leadership Development

Thoughtful leadership, professional, and personal development through leadership training programs

How are leaders and/or managers developed in your organization?

What competencies do you require for effective leadership?

How can you give your leaders and leadership teams the skills, knowledge, approaches, and support necessary to succeed?

With the right leadership – effective and well-developed – an organization can succeed in day-to-day operations while focusing on a strategic vision for long-term impact. Ineffective leadership can take an organization down a self-destructive path. The difference lies in whether the leaders are developed and supported to be as strong as possible. We partner with our clients to strengthen their senior managers and current and future leaders through offering customized leadership training.

Our Leadership Development practice is based on the knowledge that effective leadership requires focus and strength in three areas – understanding an organization’s systems (both internal and external); connecting with people; and understanding and developing oneself. This is our Three Faces of Leadership model.

Based on the Three Faces of Leadership model, we offer Leadership Development consultation, training, and coaching that allows individuals to identify and hone their leadership skills.

“As you know, we have recently completed the “second wave” of management employees through the various modules of the Leadership Development Program and personal coaching you have worked with RSL to deliver. I would like to thank you, Robyn and the rest of the team for doing a very thorough and professional job.

As you know, I chose the Chatsworth program with hope that it would provide my management team additional tools to help them handle the challenges that they are confronted with daily in the fulfillment of their job. Also, to help solve a couple of nagging issues that I felt prevented my field service group from realizing their full potential.

Your program exceeded my expectations. The immediate and ongoing feedback provided by the team has been outstanding. The true test is reflected in the fact that when I have asked team members about strategies used to solve certain problems, many have mentioned that they employed something learned in class or suggested during coaching sessions.

In addition, overall turnover in the field service organization has been cut by 40% in two years. I attribute this to a couple of different things, of which the most significant is the skills learned during the Leadership Development Program.

Thanks again to you and Chatsworth for your help in improving the performance of the [Sales leadership] team here at RSL.”
