Empower Your People. Transform Your Organization Into a Future-Ready Success.

Four people in puzzle pieces, with one person reaching across the pieces to another piece

Successful organizations know success is about more than technical skills or perks

Employees want opportunities to maximize their own potential and to contribute meaningfully to the world. The Implicit Leadership Program offers a transformative approach that powerfully leverages self-awareness and interpersonal effectiveness to create long-term organizational success.

“Prior to ICS it took us about 2 years to train a Regional Manager and today it takes one year. Nowadays we also use the ICS program for all our restaurant managers, district managers and people recruited from other businesses. We want them to be clear as to why they do what they do. And that’s what [Implicit Leadership] brings, clarity of where we are going both as a company and as individuals.”

How it works

We understand that every organization is unique, and that training should be too. Every Implicit Leadership Program delivers the same essential core content, customized in a format that works best for your team.Contact us to explore options

Phase 1: Individual

Organizational change begins with the individual.

Experience has shown us that personal awareness, responsibility, and engagement form the basis for teams and organizations to create lasting change. By dealing with root causes rather than superficial behaviours, Phase 1 helps employees identify and move past their limiting beliefs, labels, and defenses. The result is a team that is primed to confidently identify what they want in both their personal and professional lives.

Outcomes

  • Increase productivity
  • Enhance accountability
  • Improve communication
  • Boost engagement
  • Reduce defensive behavior—save time and effort
  • Foster innovation and problem-solving
  • Increase flexibility and adaptability

Phase 2: Career

Individual vision generates organizational success.

When employees clearly envision their own success, they become intrinsically motivated to contribute to their organization’s success in mutually beneficial ways. Phase 2 guides employees toward a clearer sense of purpose and helps them create a strategic plan  that they can immediately begin using in their current position.

Outcomes

In Phase 2 each participant will create a:

  • Personal Mission Statement describing the person they intend to be, addressing issues such as work/life balance, health, recreation, relationships, and more.
  • Work Purpose Statement declaring the contribution the individual intends to make through their life’s work.
  • Strategic Career Plan envisioning how that work purpose aligns with the organization’s mission and defining the career goals of the individual within and, sometimes, beyond the organization.

Phase 3: Team

Cohesive teamwork makes an organization greater than the sum of its parts.

In Phase 3, employees apply their new self-awareness and skills to the human issues of the organization. Through a series of experiential exercises, teams practice working together more authentically which ultimately facilitates a better shared understanding of the organizational vision and the part that each team member can play in delivering that vision.

Outcomes

  • Build strong leadership skills
  • Understand how team compatibility boosts productivity
  • Promote effective teamwork and collaboration
  • Handle difficult conversations effectively
  • Facilitate better group decision-making
  • Stay calm and skilled under pressure
  • Help others grow and develop their talents
