You should expect more from leadership development

It’s not that the current paradigm isn’t providing any value. Leaders are becoming more self-aware, acquiring useful ideas, and building deeper relationships with peers.

But extensive research from Harvard, McKinsey, and Holzman Leadership demonstrates that despite the billions of dollars spent every year on learning, lasting behavior change, and measurable business results remain elusive.

At Holzman Leadership our Real Work Process delivers:

  • Sticky changes in leadership behavior
  • Measurable business results 
  • A transformation of learning’s impact and brand inside your company

It’s a game-changing process that’s worked again and again across numerous Fortune 500, FTSE100, and Global 2000 companies—and it’s ready to go to work for you.

You’re doing the best you can, but…

Your senior leaders have high expectations: they require real behavior change and measurable business results in return for their significant investments of time and money.

That’s a tall order for even the most capable, experienced learning executives—but our field hasn’t equipped you with the reliable methods you need to do truly transformative work.

The consequence?  Your learning programs and initiatives may be extremely vulnerable — just one profit warning, leadership change, or priority shift away from having your budget cut or role reduced. 

Let’s flip the script and make sure your work is treated as the sacred trust it deserves to be.

Discovering a Different Approach

The Real Work Process is a practical, scalable, and transformative leadership development and problem-solving methodology that fuses Todd’s research on tens of thousands of documented cases of leadership failure, analysis of corporate learning programs, and nearly three decades distilling and synthesizing the disparate approaches of the Harvard and Columbia University professors with whom he studied and taught.

It reliably and measurably delivers two outcomes: significant, sticky changes in behavior and better business results.

The Real Work Process

Drive Sticky Behavior Change & Solve Real Business Problems

1. Real-world problem selection

Leaders select important business problems that are a source of personal frustration.

2. Recognition

Leaders realize and take responsibility for their leadership gaps, building deep motivation to learn, grow, and change.

3. Reprogramming

Hands-on coaching and field-tested tools enable leaders to build new neural pathways and begin changing behavior.

4. Real-world results

Rigorous application drives sticky behavior change and measurable business results.

Development That Finally Delivers

Sticky Behavior Change

Stop wasting time and money on training that inevitably fizzles. Effect real change with methods that leave a lasting impact. 

Measurable ROI

Guarantee return on investment as your leaders solve real-world problems through the immediate application of new behaviors. 

Senior Leadership Buy-In

Inspire the confidence your work deserves, and establish learning as a powerful business tool.

Start Moving Forward

You can’t divorce development from solving real-world business problems

Segregating learning from leaders’ real work is WHY you’re not seeing behavior change and business results.

The Real Work Process isn’t hands-off for anyone. It’s a roll-up-your-sleeves deep dive into your leaders’ most frustrating business problems where they learn that the real problem is the way they’re leading. Empowered with profound self-awareness and practical tools, they emerge as a much more powerful force for good inside of your company.
