Your managers are the heart of your organization. They are the ones who communicate and defend your culture and your brand.

According to a recent Gallup publication, they account for 70% of the variance in team engagement. Nothing less. They are given great responsibilities…but are we also giving them the support and tools they need to succeed and thrive?

That’s exactly what our leadership development program is designed to deliver. Check it out in this article!

Leadership development is key to the long-term success and sustainability of any organization.

Understanding the crucial role of effective talent management and succession planning in organizations, we crafted a comprehensive leadership development program over 5 years ago. This program has since been successfully implemented with numerous clients, demonstrating its effectiveness and impact.


Empowering Individual Leadership Styles

Our program's mission is simple yet profound: to empower your managers to cultivate their unique and authentic leadership styles. The focus isn't on mimicking others' leadership or drawing comparisons. Instead, by fostering a deeper understanding of oneself and one’s colleagues, and by capitalizing on both individual and collective strengths, we facilitate the creation of a powerful synergy.

Marie-Hélène Langlois, the visionary and expert behind the program, tailors the content to meet the specific needs of the managers participating. She ensures that each participant gains the skills necessary to confidently fulfill their roles and grow personally. With a deep expertise in adult learning principles, Marie-Hélène expertly matches the learning approach to the unique talents and experiences of each individual.

"Managers should celebrate their uniqueness and understand that their differences are what enrich the team and the organization. It's important to remind them that making mistakes is part of the process. I'm passionate about stimulating thoughtful reflection and love the idea that our program not only enhances leadership skills but also contributes to personal growth."

Co-Creating the Leadership Journey

The journey begins with a self-assessment by the managers, identifying their proficiency in key leadership competencies. This is followed by a collaborative workshop involving participants and senior management to establish the program's business objectives and expectations.

Module 1, "Be the Leader That You Are," sets the stage for personal and group reflection. Here, we explore pivotal questions such as: What defines us as leaders? What are our aspirations? How can we uplift each other?

Subsequent modules are customized to the group's needs, often addressing vital topics like time management and specific managerial challenges, including team engagement, personal development, handling difficult conversations, and more.

The next-to-last module focuses on nurturing the manager-employee relationship, emphasizing the importance of genuine connections and understanding individual needs.

The final module zeroes in on team dynamics, covering high-performance team building, evaluation processes, recognition practices, and more.


Bringing Learning to Life

To translate theory into practice, we introduce practical exercises and incorporate co-development workshops between modules, fostering a dynamic learning environment. The entire program unfolds over approximately 9 months, ensuring a thorough and impactful experience.

However, the journey doesn't end with the program's conclusion. We offer additional opportunities for managers seeking to further refine and energize their leadership through individual or team coaching, case studies, and workshops.
