Closing the Gap in Essential Leadership Capabilities

As part of a broader organizational change initiative, the HR organization of this medical technology and devices manufacturer was assigned the task of closing leadership skill gaps that had been identified by the new CEO.  These included project management, meeting management, decision making and problem solving.  The goal was to close these gaps using a train-the-trainer approach that would not only enhance the leadership skills of high potential leaders, but also certify them to train others.

Metrus Group designed and developed training courses customized to align with the CEO’s objectives.  Next, the courses were delivered to pre-selected high-potential leaders.  A trainer certification process was then designed that included course templates and tools that the high potential leaders could use to motivate and train others.  A train-the-trainer course was conducted for the first wave of trainers and resulted in all participants being certified.
