When I was promoted to my first people management role, the CEO of the company (who I was terrified of), shook my hand and whispered in my ear, “Don’t screw this up!” No pressure.I spent my early years as a people manager in a desperate search for an all-wise “Mentor of Oz” who would teach me the secrets of being an effective leader and tell me everything would be ok. Unfortunately, nobody answered my want ad! If you are like me, you simply didn’t receive any formal training to lead teams, drive KPIs and make the hard leadership calls. You had to figure a lot of it out by yourself through trial and error. Even when I became an executive, directing an org of thousands of individuals, no one handed me a playbook. There’s something to be said for the learning-by-doing approach, but being coached on the foundational skills of leadership earlier in our careers might save us from any number of frustrations, missed opportunities and mistakes.This desire to launch new leaders with the right toolkit and help established executives to level-up their management IQ led to the creation of Emergent Execs. We excel at four offerings: Management Training, Executive Coaching, High Potential Development and Succession Planning. Emergent Execs has worked nationally and internationally with over one hundred companies and top brands in range of industries. Our customers select us for the following distinctives.• Results – Over 85% of leaders trained by EE are still with their companies two years after the training, and 55% are promoted within 6 months of completion. 90% of the direct reports and team members of our program participants indicate that they observe “Some” or “Significant” improvement in the leadership of their supervisors we trained.• Experienced Voices – Our classroom teachers and executive coaches at EE are boardroom-seasoned and have run their own companies or large divisions. • Practical Tools – Lessons are geared toward immediate action, not theoretical navel-gazing. • Customized Learning – We have a curriculum library of hundreds of topics, and help you design the perfect program for your emerging leaders.• Personal Connection – Every classroom and coaching interaction is highly interactive, engaging and, yes, maybe even fun.
