First Line Leadership Development

Developing new leaders into great leaders

"First Line Leadership Development" is a program built through research Darrin conducted as part of the Executive Leadership Institute (ELI). It is a unique program combining executive coaching processes with new leader development principles. Ecologically minded and evidence supported, the leadership program not only engages the new leader in a coaching process while also engaging their supervisor in sessions and planning for future success.

First Line leadership Development Program includes:

Onboarding

Onboarding is a structured process in which the new supervisor and their direct supervisor are engaged in identifying common goals and developing a mutual understanding of the leadership development process with the Leadership Coach.

Assessment

A combination of validated assessments will be used to develop an understanding of the new supervisor’s career aspirations, leadership strengths, and areas of needed growth.

Coaching

The new leader and their supervisor will engage in coaching sessions focused on understanding assessment results and integrating that information with feedback from direct reports and colleagues. The new leader, with assistance from their supervisor, will develop a leadership growth plan which aligns with job expectations and career aspirations.

Leadership Philosophy

As a capstone to completion of the First Line Leadership Development program, the new leader will complete the "Building a Leadership Philosophy" work book. This exercise will help the new leader to define how they will lead through good and bad times.

Wrap-Up

Leadership coach will provide feedback, an overview of progress, and solidify plans for how the new leader and their supervisor will continue to support the new leader's growth and development.
