SC4E works with you to assess the desired behaviors for your leaders, customizing an education and training plan tailored to their needs and your organization. Our training includes education on methodologies, processes and behavior skills and role-playing desired behaviors.
After the leadership training, we ask each attendee to commit to implementing 1-3 learned behaviors over the next 90 days. Our trainer meets with each attendee for 15-30 minutes every two weeks during that time to hold the leader accountable for the behavior changes and to help them through any challenges.
Improved skills make your leaders and everyone around them better.
Examples of skills, processes and methodologies covered in SC4E’s training include:
Coaching methodologies like GROW®, a coaching framework used in conversations, meetings and everyday leadership to unlock potential and possibilities, and AOOA (Agenda, Obstacles, Options and Actions)
Delegation best practices — because great leaders know how to delegate well and have the skills to do so
SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-Bound) optimization
Situational Leadership® model, a leadership framework that focuses on the idea that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to leadership
Time management strategies, tools and processes to help leaders make the best use of their time
Team meeting and one-on-one meeting best practices for more effective interactions with people, creating the opportunity to listen, share information and foster a inclusive environment
