Leading Inside the Box

Lead Inside the BoxOne of the greatest challenges leaders face is not having enough time to get everything done. A major cause of that issue is the misallocation of a leader’s time in how they interact with the members of their teams. The Leadership Matrix helps leaders solve this age-old dilemma.

Lead Inside the Box: How Smart Leaders Guide Their Teams to Exceptional Results, Mike Figliuolo and Victor Prince’s book, is the basis for this method. The course teaches leaders how to more efficiently and effectively invest their time and energy (their “leadership capital”) to get better results out of their team members. During the course, you’ll learn:

  • How to assess how you’re investing your leadership capital
  • How to evaluate the results your team members deliver
  • How to lead individuals demonstrating the four major performance patterns (Exemplars, High Cost Producers, Passengers, and Detractors)
  • How to more effectively lead individuals demonstrating the eight sub-types of performance patterns (Rising Stars, Domain Masters, Joyriders, Stowaways, Steamrollers, Squeaky Wheels, Square Pegs, and Slackers)

The Leadership MatrixDuring the session, you will have in-depth discussions about each of these performance patterns. We’ll discuss how to recognize the pattern, identify their development needs, and execute a leadership plan targeted to their individual requirements. You’ll also create your own Leadership Matrix on your team which you can apply as soon as you leave the room.

The target audience for this course is anyone in a leadership role no matter how large or small. Participants must be willing to evaluate their team’s (and their own) performance objectively and commit to a plan to change how they allocate their leadership capital to drive better results.

What Our Clients Say

I’ve brought thoughtLEADERS in to work with my teams at three companies with resounding success. What set them apart is they’re practitioners. They quickly understood our business and my team’s needs. That made their courses immediately applicable. What they taught has had long-lasting, profound positive impact.

VP and General ManagerBMC Software

thoughtLEADERS teaches the Structured Thought and Communications course for our leaders. The delivery style is very engaging. The methodology provides a logical step-by-step process for outlining a message. This course is a must for those that want to influence others in a clear and concise manner.

SVP, Human ResourcesPNC

thoughtLEADERS offers a uniquely valuable service to leaders. Their instructors aren’t communicating from an ivory tower of theory but from a solid platform of practical experience. Experiential learning makes an immediate difference in the learner’s life and they make a difference in the organization.

VP, Organizational DevelopmentOhioHealth

thoughtLEADERS helped us develop our best-ever annual plan. Previous plans were overly detailed, inconsistent, and lacked a sustaining central theme. thoughtLEADERS changed all that. With their guidance, our plan was shorter, contained a clear message and we received terrific feedback on our improvements.

VP, Strategic Sales Services Heinz Foodservice

thoughtLEADERS provided a straightforward strategic planning process, a facilitator who was flexible but focused, and the help we needed to define our strategic goals. We now have a framework for evaluating initiatives and furthering our plan. I highly recommend their strategic planning program!

CEOPinnacle Data Systems

Our instructor was very receptive to participant feedback to meet our employees’ learning needs and customized the course to our audience. He also consulted with cross-functional teams to apply the methodology introduced in the course and the teams greatly valued his feedback. I valued his timely responses and adaptability.

Career Development CoordinatorFederal Reserve Bank of Cleveland

thoughtLEADERS went beyond the original scope and came in under budget. They performed a strategic review and mapped future strategic inflection points for our company. They performed this work with little direction or oversight but stayed in constant communication. Phenomenal results and great insights.
