Leadership Development Programs
Effective leadership is widely recognized as a key differentiator that determines the overall performance of an organization. Good leaders achieve better business results and most organizations now invest in some form of leadership development. For many, however, the results are inconsistent. All too often leadership programs generate a lot of initial enthusiasm but little in the way of lasting results because they are simply too compressed and out of synch with the way that people really learn. Kwela will help you achieve lasting results by developing a leadership program that reflects the natural learning cycle of ‘doing, reflecting, revising, and trying again’. |
Kwela designed and facilitated our 'Transactional Leadership: Achieving Results Through Others' program. This program is aimed at emerging leaders in our organization and it comprises a number of components that stretch over a period of approximately 4 months. The feedback we’ve received from participants has been great. Kwela takes an experiential approach to development, emphasize practical approaches and tools and hold participants accountable through measurement and follow-ups. Susan Karda, Manager Organization |
Our approach is rigorous and pragmatic and we avoid common leadership development pitfalls by ensuring that our programs:
- Align to organizational strategy and other HR processes.
- Set clear expectations at the outset.
- Personalize development plans for individual leaders.
- Spread the learning over time.
- Incorporate the support of a personal coach or mentor.
- Offer targeted, energetic, and impactful skills training.
- Measure progress and provide regular feedback.
Our programs are always customized to your organization and can run anywhere from 3 months to 2 years depending on your needs and focus.
