Home-Grown Leaders

“One responsibility [we] considered paramount is seeing to the continuity of capable senior leadership. We have always striven to have proven backup candidates available, employed transition training programs to best prepare the prime candidates, and been very open about [succession planning]. . . . We believe that continuity is immensely valuable.” - Robert W. Galvin, former team member of the Chief Executive Office, Motorola Corporation, 1991.


Jim Collins and Jerry Porras in their seminal work called Built To Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies (HarperBusiness, 1994) write that “visionary companies develop, promote, and carefully select managerial talent grown from inside the company to a greater degree than the comparison companies.” This conscious strategic choice preserves the core of the company and creates continuity within operations. It also reduces management turmoil and improves retention of key personnel. 


Given current events like The Great Resignation, any company who chooses to develop and promote highly talented internal staff are building the capacity to improve planning and execution over time. They also are building the capacity to sustain healthy change and progress over time.


With the above in mind, now is the time to sign people up for the 2022 From Vision to Action Leadership Training. Through a challenging and interactive curriculum which blends lectures, selected readings, small and large group discussions, and how to skill-building exercises, participants in this four part leadership and organizational change training gain critical knowledge and skills which improve their ability to create and communicate strategy, define and solve problems, build and maintain teams, coach people and teams plus learn how to delegate effectively.

The goal of visionary companies is to do well right now but also to be well positioned for the future. One step in this process is to create a pool of home-grown leaders who can lead the organization through multiple change cycles while maintaining the mission and core values. If you are seeking more continuity and better capacity, then now is the time to sign up your people for the 2022 From Vision to Action Leadership Training. I look forward to hearing from you.
