What the Leadership Development Industry Hopes Will Never Be Discovered: A Better Way to Develop Real World Leaders

NASHUA, NH, December 30, 2010

Donna Price, Leadership Consultant and Team Strategist and Debora McLaughlin, Executive Coach and Business Strategist have officially put the management consulting industry on notice: Stand Alone Leadership Training will soon be as outdated as typewriters are today. The Real World Leader's Institute has pulled together the best training available and combined it into a leadership Institute that provides leaders with the opportunity to not only learn new skills but then practice them and refine them.

As Donna Price added, "Our Real World Leader's Institute has gone the leadership development industry one better. Where most companies in this market space train, train and then train some more without real world implementation the Leadership Institute provides world renowned training with a skill acquisition and implementation phase supported by executive coaching. Leadership Skills are not just learned but also they are become live in the workplace. The key is providing the ongoing coaching supports that allow leaders to implement that they learned in their environments, with their people, given their unique circumstances."

Price and McLaughlin have combined what they've been doing with individual organizations for decades into one rich leadership program. "The face of leadership has changed; many leaders are not using the advantages of neuroleadership and the essential keys to unlock employee engagement to get more with less from their organizations," notes McLaughlin. The Real World Leadership Institute focuses on optimizing employee engagement and building a culture of collaboration, like the culture identified in the book Delivering Happiness by Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh.

So what can an organization expect for a return when they invest in their leaders? Fortune magazine recently reported the results of a poll of executives and upper level managers who had six to twelve months of coaching with a Masters or Doctoral level executive coach. The executives were asked to give a "conservative estimate of the monetary payoff from the coaching you received". The survey demonstrated that the recipients valued the executive coaching at six times the cost that their company paid for the service. In other words, a nine-month, $18,000 executive coaching program investment was given a rating of being worth six times that -- $108,000. Not a bad ROI at all.

Coaching is not a cost. It's an investment. It really doesn't matter what you pay for an investment. What's relevant only is what you get in return. The Real World Leadership Institute offers an affordable means for organization to train and support their leaders with meeting their organizational goals.

Co-Founder of the Institute Debora McLaughlin stated: "Giving leaders the skills to inspire their workforce, engage their employees and influence results for their companies makes the Real World Leader's Institute a worthwhile investment of both time and resources. Leaders are not just born, they are developed. Our inspired leader's foster leadership at all levels, nourish trust within the organization, create transformation teams focused on improvements and build collaboration. The changes in the organization are palatable. We insure that that they learn goes beyond the classroom and onto the work floor." The end result is increased performance, profitability and sustainability.
