Hornsom’s Approach to Leadership Development
Hornsom’s leadership development consulting shines a light on what makes certain leaders excel while others languish—and then incorporates those best practices into the flow of daily work to foster inclusive leadership. Our approach to leadership development is both highly operational and tightly linked to value creation:
- We start by pinpointing the two or three capabilities leaders need in order to fundamentally change the performance trajectory of the organization.
- Next, we leverage real-world tools and solutions that can be incorporated into leaders’ daily and weekly routines. It’s not leadership development training; it’s targeted executive coaching that changes how people show up and lead every day at work.
- Finally, we shape the context in which leaders operate—such as navigating the org chart, establishing effective governance, and rethinking which metrics are tracked and rewarded—to ensure that the organizational culture and leadership development agenda are mutually reinforcing.
In this way, leaders learn how to become great within the context of their daily work—using a growth-oriented, purpose-driven, and sustainable approach that pays dividends over their entire career.
