Leadership Development

Although tens of thousands of books are written on the subject, most family businesses struggle to develop strong leaders. John Maxwell said it best, “Leadership is influence – nothing more, nothing less.”

Developing talented leaders you can trust is vital to the health and growth of your business. The Family Business Institute can help you discover the right talent, create the right plan, and develop the best leaders to take your business well into a prosperous future.

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PLAN

Leadership development and integration plans incorporate the skills, mentoring, and knowledge it takes to achieve specific business goals and objectives.

CREATING A LEADERSHIP CULTURE

Organizations emulate their leaders. If the leader can’t or won’t exercise discipline and manage himself, the company’s people and results will reflect that. The organization needs to know who it is collectively, what it stands for, and where it’s headed. The company gets that information from its leader(s). Self management is at the core of creating a leadership culture.

DEVELOPING AND INTEGRATING HIGH POTENTIAL NEXT GENERATION LEADERS

There are several interesting and useful tools to develop “Next Gen” leaders. 360° evaluations, processes for discovering unique talents, psychometric evaluation tools, and other processes can help identify, train, and develop high potential next generation – family or non-family – leaders. It is also useful to dispel many of the misconceptions about developing leaders in family owned businesses. Leadership development plans can be as varied as the families and companies which utilize them. Formal training and special projects are both part of leader development. Other best practices include communications training, self awareness work, the use of “bridge management”, training in making collaborative (versus unilateral) decisions, and others.

NEW WHITE PAPER: “Proof of Financing”

by John Woodcock | Mar 23, 2023

There’s not much point in building things if a project owner(s) cannot meet his obligations! If you’re working for government or public entities, this usually isn’t a worry. Private owners and developers – especially if the economy softens over time – can present a...

It’s What You STAND FOR!

by Wayne Rivers | Mar 21, 2023

Roy Spence wrote It’s Not What You Sell, It’s What you Stand For, and it’s a great book (thanks, John Woodcock)! It sounds like a book about selling, doesn’t it? It isn’t, and I think Spence got his title wrong. He should have gone with the subtitle Why Every...

The Secret for Finding Your Happiness

by Dennis Engelbrecht | Mar 15, 2023

Construction has traditionally been viewed as a rather grim industry. Wake up, work incredibly hard, drop in bed at night exhausted, and then get up and do it all over again – for decades. But does it really have to be that way? Why can’t you have a team of high...
