How It Works

Leadership Assessment

As a leader, it is critical to know how you are performing today. We begin by using a powerful set of assessments to establish baseline leadership performance and to build awareness of your current leadership strengths and opportunities.

This component focuses on assessing your leadership strengths and development opportunities. We will collect feedback from four to seven co-workers who work closely with you. The assessments will look at both capabilities and motivations for a fit with the profile of a high-performing leader in your position.

Once your current leadership performance has been measured, your leadership coach will conduct a one-on-one on-site debriefing and coaching session, including optional confidential interviews with employees. This session concludes with the creation of an individualized leadership action plan that puts you on the path to the next level of performance. 

Leadership Coaching

The coaching component is all about enhancing performance. Ongoing support and direction help you effectively implement new leadership behaviors and capabilities in the quickest, most efficient manner. Your coach will provide:

1. Individualized Action Plan – Your Spader Leadership Link coach will help you develop an individualized action plan that provides a road map for increasing your leadership performance and effectiveness.
2. Monthly Coaching Sessions – Leadership Link includes one year of monthly progress reports and coaching to help you develop new leadership capabilities. (approximately one hour per month)
3. Sounding Board – Facing a difficult situation? Use your coach as a sounding board.
