Campanile Programmes

Not all specialists and managers are ready for the next upward step: becoming a leader. The transition to leadership involves distancing the candidate from her specialist area, giving her strategic responsibilities and increasing mobility both cross-functionally and geographically. Some find the challenge daunting, some are simply uninterested. The decision is crucial, because once someone is promoted to leadership, there is seldom a graceful way back to specialist or management positions.

Leadership Potential Assessment

Our simple fact-finding programme helps clients look at potential candidates for promotion, and rank them according to leadership potential, regardless of education, experience, ambitions and other related factors. Our consulting activities aim at answering one simple question for each candidate: Are they ready for leadership responsibilities?

​

The Campanile team is certified in numerous major assessment systems and experienced with HR management methodologies, both internal and commercially available. We will not decide on any promotion, but we will provide reliable analysis of available options, and improve our client's capacity to make better decisions for future promotions.

What does a typical programme look like?

Awareness:

We start the project by listening to the client's description of their business, management structure and leadership culture, the successes and challenges that people experience. Before we commit to any changes, we conduct individual assessment using personality or behavioural tools chosen either by the client or by Campanile. Finally, we set clear goals and decide on the best ways to accomplish them: consulting, coaching, or designing internal processes.

Skills:

Now that we are familiar with our client's leadership practices, goals and challenges, we design and deliver customised methods in the form of individual and group coaching or consulting. We usually start by mapping the company's available career paths and the available leadership talent for individual positions. If we find gaps between needs and human resources, we identify the best ways to broaden the sources of leadership. Each activity builds on the results of the previous one, and can be adjusted accordingly.

Habits:

Without proper follow-up, consulting and coaching becomes a distant memory after six months. We know how busy people are, and therefore we design our projects realistically. Therefore, in the last phase of the project we train key managers to use the applied methods internally, and consolidate them into daily work. We also work together with our clients to ensure that levels, units and teams within the company support each other's improvement.
