What Are Our Customers Saying

After going through the Supervisor Development Series, I was able to identify some personal deficiencies in my approach to management, as well as some constructive ideas to better interact with coworkers, producing a higher level of performance. I would highly recommend CMOE’s Supervisor Development program to anyone who wants to develop their management skills and take teambuilding to the next level.

Kevin M.

Sales Director – Pest Control Services

I just wanted to send you a quick note to thank you for everything this weekend! It exceeded any expectation I had… by far. Every member of CMOE that we encountered was positive, encouraging, knowledgeable, and eager to help us in any way they could. The training was an eye-opening experience that will benefit us all for years to come!

Taryn K.

Accounting Manager – Global Audit, Tax, and Consulting Firm

The leadership team had an excellent time. I am still hearing VERY POSITIVE FEEDBACK from the entire company on the strategy simulation and the overall learnings. I don’t think I truly gave you all enough ‘props’ publicly when I took the mic but it really got people thinking and affirmed the things we are doing to create a high performance culture here.

Adrienne B

VP of HR – Global Investment Institution

I just wanted to thank you again for an absolutely phenomenal couple days of training. Trust me when I say I needed this course desperately, as I am far too operational and frankly in the weeds. This will help me be more strategic. I sincerely enjoyed my time with you and the group, and again cannot thank you enough for your time and energy.

Ryan C

District Manager – Transportation and Logistics

I want to thank you for your insightful presentation. I have attended other seminars that our company has provided over the years, and never before has one affected me as much as your Coaching Skills class. I feel that the skills of your presenter and the support materials are unmatched.

Andrew W

Team Leader – Multi-national Grocery Chain

I am thoroughly impressed by the Coaching TIPS2 program and the way you can coach different “types” of personalities and different professional levels. The practice scenarios helped me to discover where I can be a better coach.

Liu X

Sr. Talent & OD Director – Multi-national Telecommunications Company

The digital Supervisor Development program has been critical to our business as we’ve worked to fill our open leadership positions with our current workforce. After doing some analysis, I’ve found that those who complete the experience have a better transition to a leadership role, and on average they have an 18% lower turn-over over rate over the course of a year. This has been a life saver! Thanks.

Yvonne M.

SVP – Learning and Development – Aerospace Manufacturer

I wanted to reach out and let you know that I have received more positive feedback regarding the Team Alignment session. The group feels that this has helped us get to a healthy spot, air out some team issues, and rebuild those personal connections. It was just the reboot our team needed.

Dave G

COO – Fortune 500 – Facilities Management Provider

We have experienced a 16% increase in productivity for six straight years after implementing the Coaching Skills, Teamwork, and Facilitation Skills training programs from CMOE in alignment with their lean manufacturing principles.

Dave P

CEO – Hydraulics and Electronic Systems Manufacturer

How do I know that there has been a behavior change in the attendees? I’ve seen supervisors, who previously wouldn’t address difficult issues with employees, address these issues; end up with a plan for change; and obtain buy-in from the employees. They did this by using the skills and tools from CMOE’s workshop.

Cindy A. S.

I wished I had this training when I began my management career 15 years ago.

Paola A

Sales Leader/Workshop Participant – Biotechnology Company

WOW! We changed some people’s lives this week. I’ve gone a lot of places and done a lot of things, but this outdoor team retreat was definitely one of the top things I’ve ever done. From a professional development standpoint, it stands alone at the top.

Frequently Asked Questions About Leadership Programs

What is the best training method for leaders?

Every organization operates within its own unique environment, shaped by various factors that influence how it should approach leadership development. The most effective training methodology is one that aligns closely with the organization’s learning and development objectives and desired outcomes. At CMOE, most clients seek a range of training formats to meet diverse needs, including:

  • Live, in-person learning
  • Live, virtual instructor-led learning
  • Digital, on-demand learning
  • Blended learning approaches
  • One-on-one development
  • High adventure and immersive experiences

By leveraging multiple development formats, organizations can address the specific needs of their leaders while maximizing the return on training investments.

To ensure lasting impact, all training methods should be:

  • Engaging
  • Customized
  • Skill-based
  • Designed with action planning
  • Equipped with practical tools and resources for leader

This comprehensive approach empowers leaders to apply their learning effectively and contribute meaningfully to organizational success.

Effective leadership development often requires a multifaceted approach that combines formal learning and training, job related development opportunities, and ongoing feedback and guidance from coach, leader or mentor. The development strategy should equip employees with the skills, experience, and confidence they need to excel in leadership roles and for emerging leaders, prepare them to step into key positions when needed.

When building a strategy for developing employees, new leaders, or existing leaders, consider the following steps

  • Accurately identify training needs: Using performance review data and other types of needs assessments an organization can accurately identify topics and competencies where employees can benefit from additional training and development. Engaging in one-on-one discussions with leaders and potential development candidates further refines these priorities, ensuring a targeted and effective approach to skill-building and growth.
  • Align training with the organization’s mission and vision: Ensure the selected training programs support the organization’s overall strategy, objectives, values, and priorities.
  • Create a culture of continuous learning: Promote a workplace where learning, development, and self-improvement is valued, encouraged and recognized.
  • Recognize and reward: Provide recognition and rewards for completing training programs and implementing the skills learned.
  • Provide flexible options: Allow employees to have input in their development plans, fit their schedules, and align with their personal learning styles when possible.

By blending structured learning with real-world application and personalized support, organizations can build a strong pipeline of capable leaders ready to meet current and future challenges.

Effective and results-driven leadership training begins with a clear understanding of the specific challenges or objectives the training aims to address. A high-quality development curriculum should be tailored to the strengths, weaknesses, needs, and goals of the target leadership audience.

When developing a leadership training curriculum, organizing potential topics into three key categories ensures relevance while enhancing efficiency and impact. This structured approach helps prioritize content that aligns with both organizational priorities and individual development needs.

  • Core Skills – Essential skills that are necessary and required for all leaders
  • Common Skills – Knowledge and competencies needed by most leaders.
  • Unique Skills – Specialized skill sets for a select group of leaders.

Essential leadership skills that might be incorporated into a curriculum include:

  • Communication: Effectively sharing information and engaging others by adapting communication styles to the situation or audience and overcoming communication barriers
  • Conflict management: Facilitating collaborative and respectful conflict resolution discussion between team members and building collaborative solutions
  • Delegation and accountability: Thoughtfully delegating projects and assignments based on skill sets and strengths and establishing accountability for those responsibilities
  • Leading Change: Effectively communicating change, managing resistance, and fostering engagement amid transitions.

Inspiring employees to develop their leadership skills requires a clear sense of purpose, a focus on the personal value of growth, and a supportive environment that encourages development.

Employees need to clearly see how leadership development aligns with their personal goals and career aspirations. Engage in meaningful discussions to show how building specific leadership skills will help them achieve professional milestones while also addressing the organization’s needs.

Creating a safe and supportive environment is critical. Emphasize that the focus is on leveraging their strengths and addressing areas for improvement constructively. This approach builds confidence and motivates employees to embrace leadership growth opportunities.

Leadership development is a gradual, ongoing process and should combine formal training opportunities, structured coaching and mentoring, and opportunities to take on increasing responsibilities. These practical experiences allow employees to apply their new skills in real-world situations, reinforcing their learning.

Research highlights the essential role of managers in sustaining leadership development. The leader’s manager needs to be committed to providing meaningful development assignments, sharing regular coaching and feedback, and encouraging the application of new skills. When leaders at all levels are committed to growth, the entire organization benefits from a culture of continuous development.
