Leadership Development

Over the last 40 years, countless "fad" management philosophies have come and gone, usually with limited success at best. Much of the reason for a lack of staying power for these fads comes down to a single word - Leadership. For too long we have applied management philosophies to solve leadership problems. Behind every story of successful implementation of the "management model du jour," is a great leader who possesses unmatched competencies. They are:

1. Trustworthy - a two-way trust up AND down the organization

2. Visionary - innovative and flexible in their approaches

3. Believable - have the vision and trust of his organization

4. Superb Communicators - articulate the vision to the entire team - get buy-in at every level

5. Empowering - to those around him to accomplish the vision - holds his team accountable

6. Rewarding of traits, behaviors, and values that align with his own

7. Change agents - make change a part of the organization's culture

As a leader, leadership development, both personal and that of your subordinates, should be one of the primary objectives in your business. Leaders are developed through three primary methods - experience, training and education. All can be measured and tailored for success in your organization. The bottom line is that leadership development ultimately affects corporate decision making. The faster you make decisions, the better you are able to out- maneuver your competition.

Impossible Futures team of leadership professionals will come to your organization and provide you and your team with the knowledge base and skill sets to lead your company into the future. We will teach you the skills of leadership - both personal and team leadership skills. Through Organizational Assessment, Leadership Seminars, Team Facilitation, and Personal Coaching, we will help you realize your potential and that of your team by empowering you to achieve success.

Assessment - Identify skills and attributes that exist in your organization; analyze existing programs and policies to identify gaps, redundancies, inconsistencies, irrelevant activities; recommend additions, deletions and modifications to existing training and education programs to enhance leader development.

Seminars - Conduct in-house and off-site leadership seminars to expose your team to current leadership principles, techniques and opportunities for education on leadership competencies.

Facilitation- Available for your team as leadership discussion facilitators. Provides continuous learning experiences for senior leaders throughout their career.

leadership / Executive Coaching - Develops the leadership skills of the executive core of your organization. Provides senior leaders with opportunities for personal mentoring and education in leadership competencies. The coaching program will assist in the development of intellectual capital and establish, institutionally, a set of ideas about leadership development that builds a corps of highly effective leaders.

"He who is completely submerged in the ideas of his own time, will tend to regard only the new as best; it is impossible for him to perform the extraordinary."

Educational Services

Our education and training services can be tailored to suit your company. Organizational Learning training and education are usually presented to small groups to build awareness and gain understanding and acceptance of the root problems the company faces as well as gain buy-in into the initiative.

An Impossible Futures Consultant / Trainer will provide a seminar on Developing a Learning Organization - typically lasting one day. This session will provide an introduction to Organizational Learning: what it is, what it isn't, why companies are focused on becoming learning organizations, and how it will impact each individual on the corporate team. These sessions are highly interactive and focus on getting the whole group to understand "why" this is important. Since "fear" is the biggest enemy of any organizational change effort, these sessions are focused on highlighting and mitigating those fears through education.

Additionally, Impossible Futures offers "train the trainer" opportunities for various Information Management or knowledge based systems as part of any learning implementation. These services can also be requested at any time to improve your corporate knowledge base.
