Achieving Leader - A Model for High Performance Leadership

The Achieving Leader Study definitively shows the common behavioral characteristics that the top achieving leaders employ to set them apart from their lesser achieving colleagues. These leaders were most highly valued by their respective companies and were promoted faster and given the most responsibility for managing their organization's assets and people.

Why Management Training?

  • Only 17% of managers are effective at getting results--most struggle to balance short and long term responsibilities1
  • According to a recent 20 year study involving over 800 people, employees with competent management are 30% less likely to develop heart disease2
  • Only 15% of managers have any management training and yet are held accountable for the performance of others
  • Management training is often subjective, sometimes even negative and destructive, and not validated by scientific evidence
  • An evidence-based model for effective management exists and it can be learned1
