The Executive Roundtable
A Unique Executive Development OptionSenior leaders often face significant challenges that require rapid acquisition of new leadership skills and tactics. Typically, strategic challenges are faced not by single executives but by the whole team and resolution depends on coordinated leadership action.
LDN’s two-day Executive Roundtable provides a unique approach to working with senior teams in focusing the development of their leadership skills by drawing upon LDN’s extensive experience in addressing the strategic business challenges and capability issues facing the team.
Preparation involves a brief individual discussion between each team member and an LDN consultant to identify key issues, challenges and priorities. The Executive Roundtable often begins by the team clarifying and confirming their strategic intent. The critical deliverables required and the challenges faced to fulfill their strategic intent are identified. The team then agrees upon the leadership capabilities that will have the greatest impact on their strategic success.
LDN facilitators help the team to identify gaps in the range of leadership skills and tactics that the team would typically use to execute their strategy; practical discussion focuses on the tactics and leadership skills most likely to result in success. Each executive determines interactively with other team members where they are best equipped to contribute to success and the skills they need to pay most attention to developing.
