Office of the Vice President

Problem

Senior executive wanted to dramatically increase the leadership skills and effectiveness of the company’s management team by focusing on core, critical leadership qualities that would not only be emphasized for individual growth but have a positive cascade effect throughout the organization.

Deliverables

The Medlin Group designed, developed and delivered a customized Leadership Portfolio for each manager at all levels in the organization. The Portfolio contained multiple views into the executive’s behavior and decision-making motivators. A customized leadership-specific 360 degree was developed to augment the company’s existing 360 degree assessment. This leadership-focused 360 along with the self and manager assessment tools were used to measure leadership attribute changes and improvements over the 12 month identified timeframe.

In addition, a Leadership Attributes Appraisal was developed whereby each manager identified their top leadership skills and strengths they wished to exploit. Similarly, they noted those qualities that could be enhanced though focused efforts on development and wrote a roadmap of activities to improve each of them. Finally customized CDs were utilized to reinforce the leadership skills development for the identified areas and milestone measurements were put in place to check progress, provide reinforcement, and, where necessary, course correction along the way.
