The Woodburn Mann Leadership Science Institute, established in 2018, uses a unique integrated leadership model to assess where your executives are currently positioned on the leadership map and to support them in their journey to becoming extraordinary leaders.
Our leadership framework integrates traditional models, like competencies, with some of the latest brain-based research on how our decision making is informed. In addition, our framework is built on extensive research from behavioural economics and on emotional and social intelligence, creating a diverse, broad and comprehensive leadership framework.
Our Executive Assessments support a range of critical decision points, using our leadership model to evaluate the candidates’ competencies and traits against the best in the world.
Executive Assessment is used to map the quality of the Executive Committee and their joint ability to deliver on your company strategy, providing the Board and Chief Executive Officer with a unique talent map. This details how your team performs against the global best across a range of key leadership competencies and leadership traits that are directly related to your strategy. Senior executives describe this as a powerful and rewarding experience that has transformed their impact on the organisation.
360 Assessments are a powerful tool to support any executive’s development and to enhance performance and team building. Our leadership model drives a customised 360 evaluation process that includes development coaching guided by the findings in the 360 process. This is one of the fastest and most effective ways to enhance individual and team performance at the executive level.
Executive Development Programme – this programme originated out of our Executive Search Practice. Senior executives ask us how they can accelerate their careers, but could not find the right mechanism to do so. Other executives reach a point where they need to make a change and need an informed partner to guide them through their choices as they move into a new stage of their professional career. We have put together a unique and holistic development programme that is customised for each executive.
Team Coaching – Executive Team Coaching can be used in combination with assessments or as a stand-alone service.
Executive Coaching – the Woodburn Mann Leadership Science Institute offers executive coaching at all levels from CEO to Senior Managers stepping into executive roles for the first time. Coaching is particularly effective when a leader steps into a new role or is managing an organisation through a period of change. Coaching is also a powerful support for leaders who are seeking to grow their careers and take them to the next level.
For CEOs a coach is a sounding board, often the only person who has no self-interest when it comes to their interaction with the CEO. This gives the CEO a confidential space where they can talk freely about all aspects of their business and, should they choose, their lives.
