Grinnell Leadership offers a variety of programs and services to develop leadership competencies at the organizational and the team level (executives, managers, projects). All of our team services involve multiple facilitators throughout the programs. The list below provides information on some of our standard offerings, but there are many custom offerings that are not discussed here. Please call or email if you need some organizational or team development but don't find a program that suits your needs. All prices are customized based on the team size and program selected.
| Program | Audience | Results | Format |
|---|---|---|---|
| OrgScan | The Executive Team within an organization. Usually a team of 5 to 12 senior managers. | Provides a mechanism for looking "inside out" to take a realistic look at the organization, its current situation and resources, and work with the team to develop and realistic plan to move forward. | Involves an orientation for the executives and interviews with personnel. This information is compiled and reviewed with the team and an implementation plan is developed with the team. |
| Leadership Decathlon® | Key talent who can eventually advance to the next level, and select teams tackling a tough strategic change or merging cultures. | Develops strong teams who are aligned with focused goals and who know how to work with each other using common language and terms. These teams can work effectively through stressful situations with the tools that are taught. | 10 month (customizable) which includes 4 to 5 days up front, and sessions monthly for 10 months, with a follow-up session to evaluate progress and give feedback. |
| Team Coaching | Key participants in a major contract or a significant project. | Provides a means for dealing with the complex business and human system issues that arise when a major contract or project brings together people from multiple organizations or departments. This process aligns these disparate groups, managing the risks by bridging those differences and creating a unified team reducing risk. | Interviews of executives and team members, training for the monthly process, and administration of process and feedback sessions. Uses a proprietary Project Leadership Scorecard as a basis for the feedback and learning. |

OrgScan and Leadership Decathlon®
Quote from EVP from major national bank:
"The organizational scan entailed a series of interviews with associates across the company. The results provided honest and sometimes startling feedback on challenges we faced and perceptions on our current leadership effectiveness. It was a good benchmark from which to build."
"The cornerstone of his leadership development process is the Leadership Decathlon®, a series of leadership seminars over a 10 month period. 32 of our high potential leaders participated. While this was a tremendous time commitment, it was critical in accomplishing the ultimate goal of expanding leadership potential, and creating a network of individuals to sustain the effort and improving communication to propel the company forward. Projects completed by the decathletes as part of the program were all meaningful initiatives that should contribute to our bottom line and engender necessary line support."
Leadership Decathlon®
Quote from Chairman/CEO of a major regional bank:
"We engaged Grinnell Leadership (in 1997) as a working partner to help us develop a group of 14 emerging leaders to prepare them for more responsibility. Dr. John Grinnell developed the Leadership Decathlon® program which was a year long intensive personal leadership development experience. Of that group, 13 are with our company today, and all have moved into roles of increased responsibility."
Leadership Decathlon® and Leadership JumpStart®
Quote from F300 CEO of a construction company:
"In our quest to differentiate ourselves, we have discovered that we are really a service business and that there is a fourth element for success; the experience our clients have with us while turning their vision into reality. We found, however, that we lacked an understanding of the nuances, chemistry, and balance of relationships, i.e. the leadership part of business. This is where Grinnell Leadership became a strategic partner with us. Through their Leadership JumpStart®, Leadership Decathlon®, and various other programs, Grinnell Leadership is helping us transform from a company of reactionary managers to a group of leaders at all levels. Grinnell Leadership has helped us understand that team dynamics are essential to the success of our projects and that understanding the behaviors of the individual members of the team, their mindsets, and the cultures of their companies, are critical to driving the success of the project."
Team Coaching
Quote from a Captain in the US Navy about bringing together two teams:
"As you were aware, there were many individuals in both organizations that had pre-conceived notions that this event would be a waste of time. Your ability to grasp our issues and your outstanding skills in Team Coaching were crucial in ensuring the success of this session."
