Developing Leaders

from base camp to summit

Prepared for
by Chris Barclay, CEO & Head Coach
 The pathway to power:
an ongoing climb

The Premise
Leadership cannot be taught. It can only be
modeled and developed from within. Leadership
development is an ongoing process of enrolling
and coaching people to courageously examine
their current reality and take purposeful action
toward realizing a compelling future.
 Identifying climbers early

The Interview
Using company leadership values as a guide, a
well-structured behavioral interview should identify
a candidate’s propensity to exhibit those leadership
values in the future. Interviews should focus on
those competencies that will distinguish him or her
from campers or quitters.
 The learning process

First lead yourself, then lead others

 Establish strategic direction for your career and life
then set transformational goals.
 Identify and commit to those leadership competencies
you will model and acquire.
 Develop and execute specific action plans, learning
from failure and keeping a positive future focus.
 Cascade your success by serving as a model to others
 The transformation
to leadership

“…by transformation we mean that you must gain

control over the patterns that govern your mind:
your worldview, your beliefs about what you
deserve and about what's possible. That's the
zone of fundamental change, strength, and
energy -- and the true meaning of courage.”
-- Peter Kostenbaum
 A leadership model

The Leadership Diamond, created by Peter

Koestenbaum, Ph.D, is a model of the leadership
mind and a methodology for expanding leadership. It
is a simple model to follow, and one that has
profound results for leaders who learn to build upon
its principles. The Diamond distinguishes four
interdependent leadership imperatives, or
"orientations": Ethics, Vision, Courage and Reality.

 Case Study: Wrigley “Boot Camp”

Background
In Summer 2003, as part of a strategic leadership
development program in partnership with ALTEC,
Wrigley deploys a newly devised Behavioral
Interviewing System for new management trainee
hires, and puts successful candidates into a 10-day
military style “boot camp” at ALTEC’s Yangshuo
Mountain Retreat in Guangxi Province.
 Case Study: Wrigley “Boot Camp”

Process
In addition to 6 hours each day of classroom
learning, participants complete a timed 6km
mountain run, help serve each other breakfast, do
dishes and laundry. They face such outdoor
challenges as technical climbing, caving,
orienteering, night navigation and building bamboo
rafts to cross the Yu Long River.

Some Feedback

“It really let me know how to be a man who is

responsible for himself.”

“Empowered me to breakthrough myself”

“Inspiring! I feel learned how to be the real leader.”

 Case Study: Wrigley “Boot Camp”

Results
After one year, no candidates have turned over, and
Wrigley HR has reported that their performance is
“above expectations”
Wrigley has used this as an internal case promoted
in the company worldwide.
 Motivation: forward from
the future

The Power of Vision

Leadership development is ongoing, and part of a
manager’s career plan. By enrolling young managers in
defining and refining their vision of the future, a self-owned
career pathway can be created.
The vision serves as a powerful motivator, and structured
learning opportunities serve to support the ascent to the
summit.
