What we did for the client
We organized a six-month leadership academy for nine managers in the client’s company, consisting of eight two-day modules. The academy program focused on developing core leadership competencies, including:
- Developing a leadership identity
- Leadership styles
- Delegation
- Providing feedback
- Decision-making
- Conflict management within teams
The modules combined interactive lectures, conversation simulations, case studies, video recording, and questionnaire assessments. This approach enabled participants to acquire new skills and immediately apply them in practice.
What we measured
We tracked the following indicators:
- Indicator A: Leadership skills assessment – self-assessment by participants and evaluation by their supervisors and subordinates.
- Indicator B: Sense of competence – participants’ self-assessment of their ability to handle leadership challenges.
- Indicator C: Perceived productivity – participants rated their perceived productivity in performing leadership tasks.
Participants, their supervisors, and their subordinates assessed leadership skills at the beginning and end of the academy, using a questionnaire with results scaled from 0 to 100. The other two indicators were assessed solely by participants, using a scale from 0 (“not at all”) to 10 (“completely”).
Results
At the end of the academy, the average self-assessment scores for leadership skills showed a significant increase. Although supervisors and subordinates provided slightly lower scores than the participants themselves, their results also indicated positive growth. This suggests that participants began applying more leadership behaviors in their daily work, reflecting real changes in their approach.
Additionally, the results revealed that participants felt more competent in addressing leadership challenges and more productive in carrying out their tasks by the end of the academy.
