Leadership Assessment Instrument™
Growth begins with an awareness of a participant’s strengths and areas for
improvement.
Before GILD begins, participants will complete
Linkage’s 360º Leadership Assessment
Instrument™ (LAI), a multi-dimensional
assessment that measures the differentiators in
the High Impact Leadership Model™.
“
The results from the LAI made me aware
of what I thought of myself as a leader, as
well as what my staff thought of me as a
leader. I was able to apply the LAI results
to best focus my learning.
“
This assessment provides the heightened selfawareness necessary for an individual’s growth
as a leader to begin.
— Alasdair Smith
Chief Operating Officer,
Ottawa Regional Cancer Centre

One-on-one executive coaching
Transformation is achieved by addressing each participant’s leadership strengths and
development opportunities with an individualized action plan for growth.
Directed by individual results from the LAI,
participants will personally select and work one-onone with an executive coach from GILD’s faculty of
experienced coaches.
Through these sessions, coaches become a valuable
resource, helping participants to interpret assessment
results, craft an Individual Development Plan, and
monitor progress on their goals.
“
Time spent with my executive coach was
priceless and provided me with a clear
picture in developing action steps that
will enhance my leadership presence.
“
The coaching process includes two private sessions
during the five-day program and a third remote
session 4-6 weeks afterward.
— Steve Wurm
President,
Boys & Girls Clubs of Arlington, Texas

Peer learning teams
Learning is retained through collaborative critique and application to real-life
situations.
Learning teams are facilitator-led, peer teams
who gather each day to reflect on and share
what they have learned and apply it to their
pressing leadership challenges and
opportunities.
“
Great networking opportunity, even better
support system. Team meetings –
invaluable.
“
Participants are assigned to teams based on
similar characteristics such as leadership
experience, scope of responsibility, and
preferred learning style.

Regional Vice President, Development,
Provena St. Joseph Medical Center

“
