Power of Seven for High Potential Leaders

A powerful new programme for your high potential leaders to work and learn in a group of like-minded peers from other companies to elevate their strategic and leadership thinking, both professionally and personally.

You need your high potential leaders (HPL’s) to thrive. They are after all ‘the future’. The future for your business and the future for you. They are your succession plan, the keys to your exit, retirement or sale of the business. You know you need to retain and develop them, otherwise you’ll loose them to someone else.

For You:

* They will bring back to your business fresh thinking, innovative ideas, improved capability and increased confidence that will drive your business and your team forward

* They will learn from outside your business, from other sectors, returning with best practice strategies and ideas

* They will help raise the standard of other leaders/managers in your business

* They will give you confidence that there is a future for your business and people to lead it

* They will become the key to your exit door (retirement or sale of the business)

* They will make you proud (like you’d feel about your own children)

For Them:

* Acknowledgement and recognition that they are indeed high potential leaders

* An opportunity to be supported and challenged by other HPL’s from other companies

* Exposure to different perspectives and ways of doing things

* Develop their strategic & leadership skills through developing a leaders mindset and practically working on strategy and leadership issues with their peers

* Upon completion of year two education modules they will receive an official certificate from Wharton University (top US Business school) and Marshall Goldsmith (No. 1 Exec coach in the world).

* Your HPL’s will grow exponentially

Because it has worked already.
Over two years ago Barry Walsh was asked to establish a Po7 group for a group of high potential leaders in a large organisation. They were all working in different functions and although they knew of each other they didn’t know each other that well. When they came together as a peer group in a safe and confidential setting something transformational happened not just to a few but all of them. The feedback from the individual’s themselves, their bosses on the senior leadership team and the CEO was extremely positive. They all went on to volunteer and train up as facilitators and start other peer groups within the organisation at all levels, now known as Peer Coaching Circles. Four groups have just finished their first year and feedback from the members has been extremely positive. Three of the HPL’s are now on the senior leadership team, all have grown significantly in their positions and have taken on projects they would not have been capable of two years ago.

We are looking at a two year horizon, but members only commit one year at a time.

• Format is a hybrid model of online and in person

• Three and a half hours online every six weeks

• Two full day member hosted visits

• CLARITY retreat off site over two days (will take place mid way through year one)

• Year two Strategy & Leadership modules 3-4 hrs per week over 6 weeks per module

• Year two Strategy Project 45 hours over six months

For:

• Up and coming talent in your business

• Those you believe have high potential for a leadership position and could benefit from a hike up in confidence and capability

• Those with a proven track record of continuous personal and professional development

• Those who are not afraid to challenge the status quo, be committed and do the work

• Those who when you mention this to them will get it and the value it offers instantly
