Our fastest growing training, with 10 sessions scheduled to fit the demand of your business, your leaders will develop the skills and gain the mindset to drive results and increase engagement at all levels of your organization.
Members of the leadership team have experience and wisdom to share, with good intentions of developing the next generation of leaders at their company.
Unfortunately... they're often pulled in other directions in the business, lacking the bandwidth to invest what their team's need in order to take on more responsbilities. They want to delegate and empower their people, but can't do so confidently without first developing them.
They could build an internal training function, but that takes time and a lot of resources. There's also a concern and likelihood of the training team's capacity being consumed by a technical focus.
They could enroll new leaders and high potental individual contributors in traditional academic programs at a local university, but the rigid class schedules could impede business priorities and classroom curriculum can feel more theory-based than applicable in today's real world, leaving learners unsure how to do something with that they learned.
So, most often...they end up failing to act, shifting focus to the myriad of other urgent issues with the hopes of addressing it themselves at a later time.
Some of their Middle-managers were promoted largely due to their tenure (and accompanying institutional knowledge) or their performance as an individual contributor, neither directly preparing them for or translating to being an effective leader.
Instead of aligning with and executing the company vision, they struggle having the tough but necessary conversations. People naturally fear speaking truth to power and aren't commonly equipped with the ability to deliver clear, kind, and direct feedback, perhaps even moreso in this generation. Meaning...they're not confidently candid with senior leaderhip or creating accountability with their teams.
Senior leaders are forced to put focus on areas that prevent them from working on strategic initiatives, establishing ceilings for both them as individuals and for the company. Succession plans begin to either fall apart or fail to form entirely.
Middle-managers have the most direct interaction with larger workforce, so when they're misaligned or unskilled, they fail to foster a sense of connection, belonging, and high standards. Instead, exhibiting the wrong behaviors that create a lack of initiative & ownership, victim mentality, workplace drama, disengagement, and complacency...they all begin to surface more consistently in their teams.
The company can quickly develop a reputation for less than stellar culture and instead of raving fans bringing in referrals, they end up losing some of their best people at both the manager and contributor levels, with those sticking around being the ones they wished would leave. Hiring cost and complexity increases and the cycle repeats.
The way we need to develop our next generation of leaders has changed, and those who adapt first will compete and win with their cultures. Whether we ever do work together or not, here are the things that you should look for in a scalable solution.
With our Into The Storm Leaders development programs your team learns smart leadership skills that help get real business results and overcome growing management hurdles.
Explore Proven 5 & 10 Day Programs, 1-on-1 Coaching Solutions, Large Team Workshops, and proven solutions each tailored to your company's unique needs.
Our ITS Leaders Development Programs™️ are comprised of 2 phases: Foundation & Mastery.
Each phase is comprised of 5 full-day sessions, but the entire program is modular in nature which makes our curriculum ideal for exposure to larger groups of your organization in shorter sessions at conferences/meetings. Speaking engagements and 1-2 day workshops are often how companies will test us out before enrolling a cohort, and can also be leveraged to accelerate transformation once you see the results from one of our other programs.

According to a study by Deloitte, millennials believe that leadership development is an essential aspect of their careers, highlighting the importance of providing relevant learning experiences.
A recent Association for Talent Development survey shows reasons to be concerned about a succession planning crisis. It appears that organizations aren’t effective at preparing people for senior leadership positions.
The biggest value for me was the added accountability of having a partner after each session, having to follow up with them on what you are implementing or not.
Kicking off each class with an honest review of the effort I gave and how well it worked.This made me actually focus on what I learned outside of class and I’m a better manager because of it.
The ITS Leaders program gave me a new perspective. The sessions encouraged learning through open and honest discussion and real-world application. I personally benefited from the tools for forming trust and delivering radically candid feedback and believe leaders at any level of an organization would benefit from this.
Highly recommended - I approach situations differently, adapting to the style of others. I've built stronger relationships with others departments, taught others the tools, and appreciate how each session brought it back to how each of us can actually apply learnings in the real world.
The program was very well received by our emerging leaders who participated. Our facilitator did a great job providing valuable, practical tools and strategies that our team could use every day. Overall it was an awesome experience for our team.
Our Emerging Leaders participated in the Foundational ITS Leadership Program and gained concepts & strategies that unlocked their full potential while providing value to bring back to share with the teams they lead. The Leadership Team attended the last session to celebrate the accomplishments of the completed program, and were able to hear the results gained from the team through the capstone project presentations. The investment we have made in our Emerging Leaders has had a positive impact on our organizational goals and overall success.
