"The new leader is a sage charged with understanding the big picture
and with linking individual activity to the whole."

Carol Peterson, Sr. Editor, Inner Edge

The #1 reason the lack of leadership is so critical in growing companies is
the inability of current executives to recognize the dilemma and act
decisively.

An Emerging Leadership process is a concept that is being turned into
reality for many growth companies that have faced the dilemma of developing
their next generation of leadership. The challenge is compounded in an
increasingly virtual environment.

Coaching and development for emerging leaders includes additional assistance for the organization in:

• Developing its best and brightest beyond their current managerial roles.
• Assisting individuals to embed desired new commitments and behaviors instead of defaulting to old habits that no longer serve.
• Building leaders who know how to generate trust from integrity, provide leadership in an adaptive environment, and develop and facilitate healthy communication and interdependence.

COG, in partnership with The Kathryn French Company, has developed a unique approach to developing a federation of leaders and emerging leaders that function across geography and organizational boundaries.

The Emerging Leadership process addresses the need for developing the
thinking and belief systems of your company's managers. It is time for an
awakening! Some of your managers work within a mental context that is no
longer valid for your company's long term vision!

How does your company develop leadership among company executives?

We do know this--YOU CAN'T DO IT in a 3 day leadership seminar!

The best place to start is through the Emerging Leadership process. It
takes many forms, but always starts with an analysis of your company's major
issues, the communication patterns around your issues, and a survey of your
major players whom you expect to get things done. It is a dynamic process
which concludes with all your key stakeholders agreeing with the next steps
to be taken.

After this high impact first step, the process is developed according to the
needs of your company. A popular model includes one-on-one leadership
coaching for your key players; appropriate intervention in work processes
and a series of leadership seminars which include:

* Articulating and sustaining the vision
* Creating change in the organization
* Unleashing talent in others

The Kathryn French Company and Consult One Group have a proven track record
with the successful implementation of the Emerging Leadership process with
companies just like yours-growing companies who are hungry for knowledge in
solving the unexpected problems caused by missing leadership.
