3 components of world-class leadership development programs

Most leadership development programs are mediocre. They're missing at least 1, but often 2 of these 3 components.

World-class leadership development brings a measurable 10x (or greater) return. If it's not paying for itself within 90 days, you invested in the wrong program or...

Is it possible to calculate the ROI of leadership development programs?

The resounding answer is YES!

"If you don't see an obvious and measurable return on your leadership development investment, you picked the wrong program!" ~ Melissa Ryan (Gap, Inc.)

Ouch! Did that hurt a little?

If so, I'm sorry. But leadership development investment should pay for itself. The ROI of good leadership development averages $7 to $1. Great leadership development breaks the $11 to $1 barrier.

Great leadership and great cultures can often feel like this: "It's hard to describe, but I know it when I see it!" Try explaining that to the board or your CEO/CFO.

The top 5 measurable improvements:

Work quality
Productivity
Peer-to-peer communication
Engagement
Project efficiency

World-class leadership development translates directly to the bottom line: sustainable profits. Measurable results. We tell clients, give us 90 days and you'll stop asking if it's worth the investment!

A proven "Who Are You Becoming" Framework

We've designed, refined, and implemented a proven process to help thousands of business professionals - from sole proprietors to Fortune 500 execs - make progress toward higher and more rewarding levels of leadership.

What the #s say:

97% of 752 organizations surveyed currently measure ROI of their leadership development programs or will over the next 12 months. The top 3 categories measured with average ROI:

Revenue (ROI: 772%)
Retention of top employees (ROI: 18%)
Promotion from within (ROI: 6%)

The results: leadership development, when applied in real time to business realities pays for itself. Yes, you see it and feel it. But you can also measure it. We've designed a leadership development process that the CFO will love within the first quarter of implementation!

Hard to measure: peace of mind

Taking your leadership to the next level doesn't just affect your business. It’ll improve your relationships with family, friends, neighbors, and your community.

You'll have more fun. More energy. You’ll jump out of bed in the morning a lot more often than you do right now! You'll have more passion and a greater impact in all aspects of your life. So will your team.

I know it's all possible because we’ve been coaching leadership teams toward greater efficiency and more impact using a proven, powerful process for more than a decade.

In fact, we’ve helped thousands of leaders around the globe to become better leaders.
I've also used the framework in my own businesses.

Some metrics to go with peace of mind:

88% reported higher or significantly higher desire to more-frequently hire from within
83% reported higher or significantly higher ability to more quickly/easily fill job vacancies
87% reported higher or significantly higher employee satisfaction rates
88% reported higher or significantly higher employee performance scores

One of our favorite metrics: the 24 hour test. If a key leader needed to take a few weeks or even months off, could you replace that leader within 24 hours. Our clients resounding answer: 80% say yes!

The CFO stopped talking and just stared at me.

They had just invested tens of millions of dollars in their leadership development program and my facial expression gave me away. (I am not a poker player!) He knew my background and could tell that I wasn’t sold.

CFO: What’s on your mind, Jonathan?

JF: Lot of great stuff in the program. I appreciate the investment. You’ve really invested - put your money where you mouth is - you've prioritized developing leaders.

CFO: But?

JF: I'm honestly impressed.

CFO: But?

JF: Well, there are two questions that bother me: MLK, Mother Teresa, Gandhi – world-class leaders…

1) would they get into your program?

2) would they need it to become world-class leaders?

CFO (body language - no spoken words): “What’s wrong with you? Aren’t you supposed to convince me to spend money on this?”

[after a long uncomfortable pause...]

CFO: What do you suggest?

JF: Do it. Build incredible leaders. AND teach those leaders how to build incredible leaders with a $10 to $1 return on the investment. I'm talking time and money return. Time and money investment. Teach those leaders the applied side of developing leaders.

Can you build world-class leaders without a world-class budget?

You already know the answer. Almost every world-class leader in history was “built” without a world-class budget. How? Can the process be borrowed and scaled? The answer is yes. It’s actually one of the questions that drove my first book, Who are you BECOMING?

The book is full of ideas on building world-class leadership without the budget. We even do regular programs for parents on this topic
