COLUMBIA, Md., April 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Global workforce
transformation solutions provider GP Strategies (NYSE: GPX)
introduces a new addition to its digital leadership portfolio.
Leadership Acceleration—a digitally enabled leadership journey
designed for experienced leaders—complements GP Strategies'
existing front-line digital leadership program, Leadership
Essentials.
Traditionally, leadership development relied heavily on
face-to-face, instructor-led training (ILT) to teach leadership
skills. Leadership Acceleration digitalizes and broadens that
experience, focusing not only on the skills of leaders, but also on
their mindsets, emotional intelligence, and authenticity. The
experience then progresses to include strategic thinking,
influencing, and building an inclusive talent pipeline. Since both
approaches—skills and mindsets—are key to creating well-rounded
leaders, Leadership Acceleration can be used with traditional
leadership development programs for a fully blended experience.
Leadership Acceleration also transfers those mindsets in a
social, collaborative way, preserving the connections that make ILT
an effective learning tool. It brings proven leadership content to
life in an engaging digital environment where leaders network and
grow side-by-side with a community of learners and gain the support
of a leadership coach. Together, they share their experiences and
challenge each other in a supportive environment.
Leadership Acceleration teaches how essential competence and
connection are to strong leadership and motivating and engaging
teams to contribute to the organization's success. The program is
globally scalable to help vast numbers of experienced leaders:
- Develop the knowledge and skills needed to transform the
workforce
- Think strategically and influence with authenticity
- Build and develop inclusive teams
- Focus on the key leadership mindsets that fuel growth
"Change, disruption, and the pace of work is accelerating
rapidly these days, which means our most experienced leaders are
under unprecedented pressure to deliver results, increase
stakeholder value, and inspire others under extreme circumstances,"
says Leah Clark, Senior Director of
Leadership Strategy, GP Strategies. "Leadership Acceleration
bridges that gap with a blended approach that instills new
competencies and connections quickly, memorably, and
effectively."
Leadership Acceleration is organized in two phases, each with
three modules:
- Who am I as a leader?
-
- Your role as an experienced leader
- Emotional intelligence
- Authentic communication
- How do I get the work done through others?
-
- Strategic thinking
- Influencing
- Developing an inclusive talent pipeline
Cohorts and coaches keep digital sessions human, interactive
elements deepen learning, action plans and activities add
relevancy, and microlearning and gamification elements make
sessions accessible and memorable.
"It's a new approach to deepening the development of proven and
experienced leaders—one that will only evolve as roles shift
and change as we move out of current disruptions into the next big
business challenge. It's not a program for today's times. It's a
program for all times moving forward," says Lisa Fagan-Joseph, Vice President, GP Strategies
"And GP Strategies is proud to be forging that new path for our
global clients."
