Being an excellent functional leader doesn't necessarily prepare someone to help lead the entire enterprise. Number Ones need senior leaders who see beyond their departments, work effectively across the organization, anticipate challenges, and bring judgment and perspective rather than another decision to make.
Building on Steve's The Radius of Influence™ eBooks for Number Ones and Number Twos, the Enterprise Leadership Lab puts those concepts into practice through an in-person, hands-on development experience.
The Lab helps Number Ones develop stronger enterprise leaders by expanding their Number Twos' influence, strengthening their enterprise perspective, and encouraging greater ownership of the organization's success. It also creates an opportunity to develop the leadership team together, without singling anyone out.
How the Lab Works
Designed for the Number One and up to six Number Twos, the Lab combines assessment, discussion, and practical development planning.
- Inward: Understanding how behaviors, judgment, and leadership habits affect effectiveness.
- Across: Building trust, relationships, and influence with peers.
- Up: Becoming a stronger thought partner and trusted advisor to the Number One.
- Outward: Seeing the broader business, connecting the dots, and advancing the organization's vision, mission, goals, and strategy.
Participants assess their current Radius of Influence, explore real leadership challenges, and identify development priorities.
