Leadership Development Programs

Every leader, team and organization is unique. We customize programs that meet leaders where they are and stretch individual and collective perspective-taking capacities. This requires both a supportive and challenging structure for sustainable learning.

Increasing Complexity of Mind in the Collective

Collective Leaders Project is passionate about helping groups develop and leverage the impact they have on one another’s thinking and actions. Leaders within the program commit to a shared purpose to increase their individual and collective effectiveness. Together they develop greater awareness and perspective-taking capacity, contributing to one another’s discovery and growth. Expanded awareness supports the asking of new and different questions, opening up potential for insights, innovation, and creativity to emerge.

Becoming a Learning Culture

As the customized programs mature within an organization – participants experiment with insights, solving real work challenges in novel ways. Pushing learning into the organization becomes a new normal and the emerging culture assumes a self-generative role as a primary driver of ongoing development. For an example of one company’s culture change journey click client impact below.

“…we are experiencing a mismatch between the world’s complexity and our own…There are only two logical ways to mend this mismatch – either reduce the world’s complexity or increase our own.”

– Immunity to Change, Robert Kegan & Lisa Lahey

Initial Assessments	Interim Impact Evaluations
We have not embraced the potential of our collective strengths; peers don’t talk to or learn from each other.	People are speaking up more and conversations are focused more on thinking outside the box Many of our new projects are in new territories and we have expanded our expertise and local knowledge. This initially took us out of our comfort zone.
We are not comfortable giving each other feedback.	Our conversations are now more productive but hard at some points. This demonstrates that our team is learning to be self-critical and share constructive feedback. We have become more team oriented both individually and between the San Francisco and Los Angeles offices.
We are not good at having robust collaborative business conversations, or exchanging multiple points of view.	There is more conversation about lessons learned on deals in process. People speak up more under the heading or "courageous authenticity". They jokingly use it as a shield but do speak up. We're being purposeful in regular management meetings to invite opposing views.
