Pathways to Long-term Growth
Recognizing the importance of enhancing leadership skills to meet the growing expectations of employees, McCarron & Company helps leaders excel in fostering people engagement, building meaningful relationships and synchronizing teams to maintain a competitive edge. This commitment is evident in its programs designed for leaders of all levels, making them efficient in gauging organizational success.
Its Leadership Edge is one of the robust development programs that provide a customized approach to leadership coaching and management training. This service allows for alignment between the leadership and key management teams, helping them work together towards a common goal.
Today, the program has been expanded into a comprehensive training initiative called McCarron Leadership and Management Academy. This new version offers a structured approach with three different levels of training. The first level is for emerging managers, providing a strong foundation in the essential skills and knowledge required for effective management. The second level addresses the needs of established managers who often face challenges and seek assistance in elevating their skills and overcoming every obstacle. The third level is aimed at directors and executives, delivering advanced leadership training to refine their high-level leadership capabilities.
The program features a library of 20 plus training modules, enabling the ability to tailor programs to meet the clients specific needs.
Led by experienced, successful managers, the participants go through a series of modules over time, covering every aspect of managing and leading their teams. Not only are the participants exposed to tools and concepts that work, but they also get to take these tools back into their workplace and practice them for 30 days before they move onto the next module. Practice is the key component to learning. Training without the opportunity to practice does not produce results.
Another essential part of supporting leaders is the company’s licensing in the Five Behaviors program, a collaboration between Wiley and Patrick Lencioni, which is taken from Lencioni’s bestselling book, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team. The five key behaviors include building trust, mastering conflict, focusing on results, achieving commitment and embracing accountability.
“Our approach enables team members to challenge each other’s thoughts and ideas productively and respectfully,” says McCarron.
The company integrates the Five Behaviors program through assessments, training, and coaching, McCarron & Company helps organizations cultivate a culture of trust, collaboration, and accountability.
