Leadership
Your leaders have a profound impact on your company's performance and resiliency.
And yet, it's still the norm for organizations to use a subjective and often biased approach to selecting and developing them.
Gallup's Leadership Practice equips you to use a scientific approach -- based on more than 50 years of studying leadership behavior -- to put leaders in place that positively influence constituencies and make decisions that sustain your company through market disruptions.
Empower your leaders to be effective, no matter what market disruptions occur.
Even the best leadership tactics fail when unexpected changes happen.
But we've identified more than tactics for leaders to use.
Gallup understands the talent, experiences and development that leaders need to bring teams together and make the right decisions when times get tough -- and every day.
Leadership strength is both innate and developed. So, our approach is multifaceted, combining an analysis of your current leadership bench, development of your current leaders accordingly and the pinpointing of future talent needs to create a sustainable future for your organization.
Organizations are effective when leaders effectively influence employees.

Gallup's Leadership
Development Framework
Our leadership framework is built around a leadership equation that helps your organization to achieve leadership strength through building a pipeline of top talent, identifying key experiences and providing focused development.

Talent
Achieving high performance in any organization starts with identifying and selecting top leadership talent -- people with the natural capacity for excellence in leadership roles. Talent provides a starting point and a range for how a leader can succeed.
Gallup's scientifically-validated assessments are based on decades of research on top leaders across the globe. Our in-depth interviews evaluate natural talent across key roles: executive, senior, people and operational leadership.
Gallup's talent data can be leveraged for leadership strategy around succession planning, talent reviews, executive coaching, team effectiveness, and more.

Key Experiences
Key experiences shape how individuals see the world, what they know, what they do and how they feel about particular events that occur around them.
These experiences provide opportunities for leaders to expand and apply their talent, impacting how they approach new challenges and opportunities and enabling them to make a greater professional contribution.
Identifying the experiences that matter most for success in your organization provides a framework to give targeted, on-the-job development opportunities that can lead to better overall human capital performance.

Focused Development
With a focus on strengthening leadership behaviors that result in excellence, we use cutting-edge research on business issues to create relevant, timely learning for leaders.
We help leaders understand their unique leadership strengths, build relationships across their organization and within their individual teams, and foster enterprise-wide growth through a strong vision, strategy and culture.
Gallup's suite of development offerings includes 360 feedback, leadership competencies, executive coaching, leadership workshops, and a host of experiential and classroom-based development programs.
