Your problem is not your problem, your problem is a culture that creates your problem.

I often get calls from potential clients to conduct a workshop on a particular topic to address a problem or issue they are presently dealing with. I call this reactionary development rather than strategic development. This happens when organizations react to a problem by looking for a one or two day training solution to fix it. As much as I like to work I always tell them the same thing, “there is no magic bullet workshop that is going to fix the problem, it takes a long-term strategic process in most cases.” The root of most issues is an unhealthy culture and ill-equipped leadership. To fix the problem, focus on the culture, and culture change takes time, a minimum of three years.

Why is this? Because most problems being dealt with in the majority of organizations are related to the lack of competent managers and intentional culture development. Just because someone is really good at their job, which is why they get the promotion, doesn’t mean they will make a great manager. People are promoted into management positions because of their superior technical skills and often demoted or fired because of their lack of interpersonal and emotional intelligence skills. Most organizations promote people to their level of incompetence then leave them there or get rid of them.

Gallop just released research indicating 80% of people in management positions are not prepared to be there. The time to prepare for the issues any organization will face is before they happen. There are key competencies that every manager needs in order to provide effective leadership, improve engagement, performance and create an engaging culture.

C.O.R.E. Leadership Academy 

C.O.R.E. Leadership Academy provides a long-term strategy with quarterly training opportunities focused on developing competent managers and supervisors and creating healthy cultures.

Why quarterly training? It takes approx. 66 days to form new habits, and research confirms learning is more effective when people focus on one topic or skill at a time. For that reason C.O.R.E.  Leadership Academy (CLA) provides quarterly training opportunities using 70-20-10 personal development process to apply what is learned. By providing quarterly development opportunities specific skills are built upon each quarter, or a theme can be the focus for an entire year.
