Precisely Customized Leadership Development

Challenge

Decision, in context of challenging industry and business dynamics, to invest in leadership development to build capabilities and accelerate business results
Building on a Global Leadership Framework, composed of six competencies and related behaviours, which had been rolled out one year prior
Desire to design and deliver a comprehensive three-year senior leadership curriculum in partnership with HORN to:
- Develop leadership capability, aligned with the Global Leadership Framework (GLF)
- Enable leaders to actively support the development of employees
- Become recognized as a company with a strong learning culture

Grounded in the principle that leadership is learned, not taught, HORN designed a highly immersive, practical Leadership Academy
Precisely aligned curriculum design with the competencies contained in the Global Leadership Framework. Curriculum components include:
- Leadership 360° Assessment
  - Leaders and their manager / direct reports complete the GLF Assessment and receive personalized feedback to heighten self-awareness and engagement
- Leadership Workshops
  - Leaders attend seven one-day workshops, focused on each GLF Competency, one every three to four months
- Post-Workshop Practicum
  - After each workshop, participants select an existing day-to-day project in which to set specific development objectives and activities
- Post-Training Evaluation
  - Leaders repeat the GLF 360° Leadership Assessment to assess improvements
Based on its Canadian success, HORN is expanding the company’s leadership development to other global markets
