Positive Work Ways - Progressive Leadership Development

---

As well as direct costs associated with multiple courses, information overload drains our battery and reduces performance rather than improving it. 

This can lead to decreased retention of knowledge, decreased engagement, increased stress, poor mental health, duplication of content between courses, and even conflict in messaging that can lead to confusion if courses and resources are not properly planned and aligned.

This hinders rather than supports effective leadership development, workforce development, and change management. 

Traditional leadership development programs often come with significant time and cost investments, and they frequently lack alignment with broader organizational goals causing stress and reduced mental health. Here’s why it’s time for a new approach:

Extensive Training Hours with Minimal Return: Typical leadership programs require weeks or even months of training, which can drain resources and reduce productivity. Research shows that up to a significant amount of newly learned knowledge and skills are lost within a year if they aren’t reinforced.

Limited Strategic Focus: Traditional programs often cover a broad range of skills but lack a targeted focus on organizational goals. This can result in leaders who are skilled in theory but disconnected from the specific strategic needs of their business.

High Costs, Low ROI: A study by the Corporate Executive Board (CEB) found that only 25% of executives felt their leadership training had a measurable impact on their performance, indicating a lack of return on investment (CEB, 2018).

Our Positive Work Ways program is designed to offer both immediate and long-term benefits, focusing on:

Reduced Training Time: Our targeted approach saves your organization time by focusing on core principles that leaders can apply immediately. With neuroscience-enhanced retention and solution-focused learning, our program minimizes the need for extensive refresher training. 

Enhanced Strategic Alignment: By focusing on organizational goals and core principles, our program ensures that leadership development aligns directly with business objectives. This translates to leaders who are not only skilled but also strategically attuned to the needs of the business. 

Improved ROI: With our streamlined approach, your organization achieves a higher return on investment. Research supports that programs emphasizing neuroscience and positive psychology can yield up to 6x the ROI of traditional programs (American Management Association, 2021). 

Sustainable Leadership Growth: Our program equips leaders with skills that endure, from resilience to strategic decision-making, reducing the need for ongoing, repetitive training.
