CLIENT SUCCESSES

We have thousands of items my team has to “process” every day, many items worth millions of dollars, and generating significant revenue for us. I now more clearly see the dependencies between departments and the benefits of building bridges with the leaders in other areas of the company. I will be better prepared to streamline processes, increase revenues, and decrease costs. It’s less about quick fixes and more about long-term solutions to increasing customer and employee satisfaction.

J.D,
Associate Vice-President

Actual hands on activities were quite beneficial: It was fun, and supremely frustrating as well at times, which has helped me better understand that there are always bottlenecks (sometimes people, sometimes processes) and reinforced the fact that everyone learns at a different pace.

A.M.,
Vice President

Seeing how ‘smart efficiencies’ can influence the end result in a big way was a game-changer for me. The program also confirmed my feeling that it is most important to consider the impact of change and the actions of individuals on others, and look at planning for long-term outcomes, not just short-term results.

Director

FAQ

LEADER/TEAM

WHAT LEVEL IS BEST FOR THE MILLION DOLLAR LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE?

The first design of this program was for Directors moving to the Vice President level. Since then, we have engaged High Potential Global Leaders from Senior Manager through Vice President level and up.

WILL THIS LEADERSHIP PROGRAM PREPARE MY LEADERS FOR FUTURE ROLES?

Yes, the intention of the Million Dollar Leadership Challenge program is to prepare executive-level bench strength and to prepare for roles that may not currently exist. Often the participants are High Potentials with double jump potential. In the end, you get to see firsthand how resilient they are and their leadership capabilities.

IS THIS A GOOD FIT FOR MY HIGH POTENTIAL LEADERS (HIPOS)?

Yes, any high potential development program that focuses on skill development misses the potential of aligning leaders to producing business results and ignores the input of High Potentials that want the opportunity to solve organizational issues. The Million Dollar Leadership Challenge program integrates perfectly into existing high potential development programs and could be the basis of your entire High Potential development program.

INVESTMENT

WHAT IF I INVEST IN THE LEADERS AND THEY LEAVE? WHAT IF YOU DON’T AND THEY STAY?

High Potentials tell us that this is exactly the development that most motivates and engages them. If you are still concerned, our Career Builder Program is a perfect-pairing. Career builder is a talent retention program that maps out multiple paths for the career aspirations of High Potentials and High Performers within your organization.

HOW LONG DOES THE MILLION DOLLAR LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE LAST?

6 to 9 months with a month of preparation and a month of reporting after. The leadership modules typically last 1 to 2 days. The coaching calls last 25 minutes once a week.

HOW MANY CAN PARTICIPATE IN THE MILLION DOLLAR LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE AT A TIME?

15 to 30 high potential leaders get identified. You choose the selection process that reinforces your culture. Our leadership programs scale by adding additional coaches which may allow you to add more participants.

FUTURE

WHAT IF WE WANT A DIFFERENT BUSINESS OUTCOME RATHER THAN $1 MILLION?

No problem, many organizations have tackled serious challenges with the implementation of business strategies, key performance indicators and organizational goals. The senior leadership of your organization agrees on the targets most meaningful to your business strategy.

WHAT IF THE LEADERS FAIL TO GENERATE $1 MILLION DURING THE PROGRAM?

We deliver results. No group has ever failed to return $1,000,000 in bottom line swing. One group was challenged to deliver the result in the program timeframe. Our promise is that we continue modules and coaching until the participants deliver one millions dollars in bottom line swing. 100% of groups deliver over goal.

SOME OF THE MILLION DOLLAR LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE ACTIVITIES SEEM, WELL… WILDLY DIFFERENT! ARE YOU SURE MY PARTICIPANTS WON’T THINK THEY ARE SILLY?

Lawyers, accountants, engineers, executives, IT geeks and Olympic athletes & coaches say no. Different styles of activities and challenges guarantee engagement from different participants so we vary the activities for full engagement.
