All our Leadership Programs
instill best
practices, elevate skills and promote
consistency in the organization’s overall
leadership approach. Our programs focus on
clarity, defining success, results, and
balancing people with production.
Successful leaders reduce distractions and
direct focus, especially when the stakes
are high. Direkt Approach’s methods for
honing these skills is unrivaled.
Direkt Approach generates
customized learning outcomes connected to
an organization’s values and specified
competencies. Our focus is on what
participants are able to do or know,
rather than a checklist of delivered
content. We are committed to moving the
needle for leaders in real-life
application. We discuss what really
happens when the rubber meets the road in
highly interactive discussion, exercises,
group work, content delivery, Socratic
questioning, demonstrated learning and
shared experience. Benefits of this
approach are engaged learners who can
readily apply the training. Our pricing
structure is designed to encourage series
work, rather than a high-ticket one-time
silver bullet promise. We develop a true
partnership dovetailing with existing
training departments and leadership
initiatives.
Leadership Essentials and
Leadership Foundations are two
programs with specifically tailored
curriculum for Directors, Managers and
Supervisors. Your leaders are ideal
candidates for investment. Even athletes
at the top of their game practice, hone
skills and strive to close any gap in
excellence. Lifelong learners are among
the most successful people in any
industry. Contrary to any stigma that
training is for people who aren’t
succeeding, we find our programs are most
in demand at successful, rapidly growing
organizations.
Road to Leadership is a
training series offered to high performers
that are candidates for leadership
positions. Many clients have utilized this
series as a precursor for people who
will/may take on direct reports. The same
skills it took to succeed in a role are
not necessarily the same skills required
of leadership. Often, new-to-leadership
personnel are thrown in to meet demand
while their own supervisor may not have
much time for developing them. This series
focuses on generating confidence and
competence in leadership, so new
supervisors are not practicing on
employees.

Executive
Coaching
Executives rarely have
an opportunity to take their foot off
the accelerator. Invest in critical
leaders to strategically lead an
organization. CEO’s, Senior Management
and seasoned leaders value counsel to
problem solve and further their own
skill development. DA
is willing to challenge leaders to
continuously seek improvement and
growth. Direct and kind communication is
achievable, effective and can absolutely
coexist. This focus has improved the
communication skills of hundreds of
leaders in a wide variety of industries
and leadership roles.
Leadership Coaching
provides an opportunity for mid-level
leaders and new-to-role leaders to
remedy blind spots and add to their
leadership toolbox. Focus
on impact, deliverables and staff
development to round out a leader’s
strengths. Close skill gaps and define
success. Why
wait ten years to gain ten years
experience?
DA has expertise in
resume writing, review and interview
preparation.
Shift the emphasis from effort
to results. Many successful
organizations operate from an historical
narrative with established ways of doing
business that yielded success and now
find themselves at the next step in the
life cycle of an organization. Often,
the very things that generated rapid
growth are not the things that will be
successful at the next level. Introduce
discipline, data and awareness of what
it takes to achieve desired results and
objectively assess fully burdened costs.
Move your organization from
experiential, opinion-based talk about
the work to measurement and data-driven
objectivity.
✔ Utilize tools to measure
performance
✔ Evaluate performance to goal

✔ Calculate, assess and evaluate the
effective and efficient
management of
resources

disciplined use of behavioral
question
banks and by matching the
organization’s needs identified in a
job
description’s
skills, roles and responsibilities

tool
✔ Implement the appropriate
leadership structure to meet the
needs
of the
organization with a constant eye on
customer focus
✔ Leverage data to exceed strategic
goals

acknowledges strengths and minimizes
challenges. Respect builds unity.
Trusted collaboration saves time and
prevents distractions. Align mission and
