1
00:00:05,410 --> 00:00:08,182
Zenger Folkman exists to develop better leaders.

2
00:00:08,326 --> 00:00:08,670
Why?

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,298
Because extraordinary leaders transform the

4
00:00:11,324 --> 00:00:11,658
world.

5
00:00:11,744 --> 00:00:14,638
They form more productive, creative, flourishing

6
00:00:14,674 --> 00:00:18,270
organizations, ones that are simply better in 
 every

7
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:18,750
way.

8
00:00:18,860 --> 00:00:20,226
How do we do this?

9
00:00:20,408 --> 00:00:23,334
We are constantly gaining new knowledge by

10
00:00:23,372 --> 00:00:25,878
conducting research on leaders all over the

11
00:00:25,904 --> 00:00:26,480
world.

12
00:00:26,870 --> 00:00:29,898
We then turn this research into insights that we

13
00:00:29,924 --> 00:00:32,754
can deliver to leaders in a highly personal and

14
00:00:32,792 --> 00:00:34,026
constructive way.

15
00:00:34,208 --> 00:00:38,130
These scientifically derived insights result in

16
00:00:38,180 --> 00:00:40,302
actions that become measurable business

17
00:00:40,376 --> 00:00:41,310
results.

18
00:00:41,990 --> 00:00:44,994
An important discovery in neuroscience was that

19
00:00:45,032 --> 00:00:47,190
people are not rigid.

20
00:00:47,570 --> 00:00:49,258
They are not set in concrete.

21
00:00:49,294 --> 00:00:52,678
They can and do improve by focused, deliberate

22
00:00:52,714 --> 00:00:54,510
attention and practice.

23
00:00:54,890 --> 00:00:56,854
We've applied that research to developing

24
00:00:56,902 --> 00:01:00,114
leaders by measuring where they are today and

25
00:01:00,152 --> 00:01:02,058
discovering ways that they can grow and

26
00:01:02,084 --> 00:01:02,790
improve.

27
00:01:03,530 --> 00:01:05,934
Our firm was the first to publish research about

28
00:01:05,972 --> 00:01:08,118
a new way to help leaders develop their

29
00:01:08,144 --> 00:01:08,970
strengths.

30
00:01:09,290 --> 00:01:11,458
We borrowed a term from the world of athletics

31
00:01:11,494 --> 00:01:14,480
to describe it the concept of cross training.

32
00:01:14,810 --> 00:01:19,462
For example, swimmers run, cycle, lift weights,

33
00:01:19,606 --> 00:01:23,382
because these additional exercises help them

34
00:01:23,456 --> 00:01:25,558
dramatically improve their swimming.

35
00:01:25,714 --> 00:01:29,770
Similarly, we've discovered statistically linked,

36
00:01:29,950 --> 00:01:33,258
complementary behaviors that leaders can use

37
00:01:33,404 --> 00:01:37,158
to develop a specific leadership competency that

38
00:01:37,184 --> 00:01:39,320
is important to their success.

39
00:01:40,130 --> 00:01:43,018
This research is grounded by extensive analysis

40
00:01:43,114 --> 00:01:45,522
of our database that includes more than a

41
00:01:45,536 --> 00:01:48,874
million 360 degree feedback instruments

42
00:01:49,042 --> 00:01:52,594
describing more than 75,000 global leaders.

43
00:01:52,762 --> 00:01:55,846
We've proven that if you give managers truthful

44
00:01:55,918 --> 00:01:59,322
information about their current behavior, and if

45
00:01:59,336 --> 00:02:03,378
you do it in a constructive, positive way, the

46
00:02:03,404 --> 00:02:04,770
result can be dramatic.

47
00:02:05,210 --> 00:02:07,806
This is especially true when you help them see

48
00:02:07,868 --> 00:02:11,250
their strengths more clearly and give them

49
00:02:11,300 --> 00:02:14,074
guidance in creating a personal development

50
00:02:14,122 --> 00:02:14,720
plan.

51
00:02:15,170 --> 00:02:16,810
The majority improve.

52
00:02:16,990 --> 00:02:19,758
Many transform themselves from ordinary to

53
00:02:19,784 --> 00:02:21,270
extraordinary leaders.

54
00:02:21,890 --> 00:02:24,102
The best news is that when leaders personal

55
00:02:24,176 --> 00:02:26,938
behavior improves, the organization's improved

56
00:02:26,974 --> 00:02:29,058
performance follows right behind it.

57
00:02:29,204 --> 00:02:31,402
Productivity, employee engagement, employee

58
00:02:31,426 --> 00:02:34,662
retention, customer satisfaction, even important

59
00:02:34,736 --> 00:02:37,054
behaviors like adherence to good safety

60
00:02:37,102 --> 00:02:39,202
practices all advance.

61
00:02:39,346 --> 00:02:43,170
And yes, a new culture is created.

62
00:02:43,730 --> 00:02:46,786
Better leaders, better results.

63
00:02:46,978 --> 00:02:48,320
It sounds simple.

64
00:02:48,710 --> 00:02:50,874
It is, and it works.

65
00:02:51,032 --> 00:02:52,914
Let us know the results you're after.

66
00:02:53,072 --> 00:02:55,750
We'll help you create a tailored leadership

67
00:02:55,810 --> 00:02:59,478
development solution to produce those results in

68
00:02:59,504 --> 00:02:59,950
your organization.
