Strong and effective leadership is the key to driving innovation, fostering growth, and ensuring long-term success. At The Metiss Group, we have spent nearly thirty years helping organizations build effective leadership teams that are aligned, resilient, and results-driven.
We are thrilled to introduce the The Metiss Group Leadership Academy—a dynamic initiative designed to house our proven leadership services under one cohesive program.
These services are not new but, through the Leadership Academy, we’re streamlining access to our expertise and offering a more structured approach for organizations committed to continuous leadership development.
This launch marks a significant step forward in our mission to cultivate leaders who can navigate today’s challenges and prepare for tomorrow’s opportunities.
The Leadership Academy is built on four pillar services: Leadership Acceleration, Emotional Intelligence, Strategic Leadership, and The Success Process.
Each of these services plays a crucial role in developing leaders who are not just capable of managing their teams but of inspiring lasting change across their organizations.
Leadership Academy: Leadership Acceleration
Leadership Acceleration, focuses on a crucial yet often overlooked aspect of leadership: the development of direct reports. Strong leadership isn’t just about personal growth—it’s about fostering the growth of your team.
The Metiss Group Leadership Academy’s Leadership Acceleration service equips leaders with the skills and strategies they need to elevate the performance of their direct reports, ensuring the entire organization benefits from stronger, more effective leadership.
Through targeted coaching, one-on-one sessions, and personalized development plans, this program emphasizes the importance of unlocking the potential within your team. By focusing on direct report growth, leaders can drive measurable improvements in productivity, collaboration, and overall organizational success.
As leaders accelerate the development of those reporting to them, they also free up time for higher-level strategic thinking, creating a ripple effect that boosts ROI across the board.
By investing in Leadership Acceleration, you create a foundation for sustained success through the empowerment of your direct reports.
Who Should Consider Leadership Acceleration?
First Time Leaders: New and emerging leaders who want to avoid learning by making avoidable mistakes, and accelerate effectiveness with immediacy.
Mid-level and Senior Leaders: Individuals seeking to improve their ability to mentor and develop their teams.
Organizations Focused on Growth: Companies who understand growing their people is key to growing their business.
Leaders Managing Rapid Expansion: Ideal for leaders who need to scale their team’s capabilities quickly to meet growing demands.
Who is Leadership Acceleration Not For?
No Direct Reports: Leadership Acceleration is not for individual contributors.
Performance Improvement Plan (PIP): Leadership Acceleration is not designed to be part of a performance improvement plan.
Leaders Unwilling or Unable to Change: To succeed in Leadership Acceleration, the leader must be willing to accept feedback and embrace change.
Leadership Academy: Emotional Intelligence
Emotional Intelligence, addresses a critical component of modern leadership: the ability to understand, manage, and harness one’s own emotions, and also read and adapt to the emotions of others on the team .
Leaders who possess high emotional intelligence (EQ) are more adept at navigating interpersonal challenges, building strong relationships, and fostering a positive workplace culture.
At the core of this service is the EQ 360 Assessment, which provides leaders with a comprehensive view of their emotional intelligence, offering valuable insights into their leadership style.
This assessment evaluates key dimensions such as self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, and social skills. Armed with this knowledge, leaders can make targeted improvements directly impacting team engagement, collaboration, and morale.
With the Emotional Intelligence service, leaders receive personalized coaching that helps them refine their EQ, leading to more effective communication, better conflict resolution, and a stronger ability to inspire and motivate their teams.
Emotional Intelligence coaching empowers leaders to connect more deeply with their teams, fostering a culture of trust, collaboration, and high performance.
Who Should Consider Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Coaching?
Leaders at All Levels: From entry-level managers to executives, every leader can benefit from improving their EQ.
Hi-Potential Workers: Top-performing individuals not yet in leadership roles, or independent contributors can increase their effectiveness through EQ development.
Organizations Committed to Improving Employee Engagement: Companies focused on fostering a more inclusive, empathetic, and emotionally intelligent work environment.
Who Should Not Consider Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Coaching?
People Unwilling to Change: Emotional Intelligence coaching may not be right for individuals who are unwilling or unable to accept direct feedback on emotional growth opportunities.
People Needing Therapeutic Solutions: Emotional Intelligence coaching is NOT a substitute for therapy. Some behaviors require psychological care that falls outside of our coaching services.
Leadership Academy: Strategic Leadership
The third pillar, Strategic Leadership, is designed to help leaders develop the skills and mindset needed to think beyond day-to-day operations and plan for the long-term future of their organizations.
As businesses grow and markets evolve, leaders must be equipped to anticipate change, make data-driven decisions, and align their teams with the company’s strategic vision.
Through The Metiss Group’s Strategic Leadership Program, participants learn how to translate high-level goals into actionable plans to drive organizational success. This service focuses on implementing different leadership practices based on business changes anticipated in the next 3-5 years.
Whether you're a CEO steering a large organization or a business owner charting a course for expansion, Strategic Leadership gives you the tools to lead with clarity and confidence.
Strategic Leadership equips leaders with the foresight and planning capabilities needed to navigate complexity and lead their organizations to sustained success.
Who Should Consider Strategic Leadership?
C-suite Executives and Business Owners: Individuals responsible for defining and driving their organization’s long-term strategic direction.
Leaders Navigating Transformational Change: Ideal for companies undergoing mergers, market expansions, or restructuring efforts.
Organizations Facing Industry Disruption: Leaders who need to think creatively and strategically to stay competitive in evolving markets.
Who Should Not Consider Strategic Leadership?
Chaos Creators: If your CEO or leadership team is unable to follow a strategic plan, or tends to continually chase the next best thing, then Strategic Leadership may not be a good fit.
Change Rejector: Strategic Leadership may not be suitable for leaders who are resistant to change or who are unwilling to invest in their own development and that of their team.
Leadership Academy: Success Process
Success Process focuses on aligning expectations, shortening learning curves and accelerating performance through a relational conversation process designed to foster mutual trust.
This service includes a year-long program with one-on-one coaching and collaborative sessions with the leader and direct report. The Metiss Group Success Process is more than just a development tool for new employees. It’s a comprehensive, collaborative process, ensuring both the direct report and the supervisor are equipped to succeed. By focusing on self-discovery, individualized coaching, and ongoing support, the program not only accelerates direct report’ growth, but also empowers leaders to lead effectively. Success Process provides leaders with the guidance they need to provide accountability, focus, clarity and achieve measurable results.
Through Success Process, trust is cultivated through our relational approach, and leaders learn how to delegate effectively, manage their teams with greater efficiency, and maintain momentum in their leadership journey.
With consistent touch points throughout the year, Success Process ensures leadership growth is sustained, not just a one-time initiative.
The Metiss Group Success Process program creates a framework for leadership success that lasts, ensuring leaders continue to grow and evolve alongside their organizations.
Who Should Consider The Success Process?
Leader and a New Direct Report: Success Process ensures roles and expectations are clarified and any changes are effectively implemented in a healthy manner.
Leader Whose Direct Report was Promoted to New or Revised Role: Success Process ensures that both the Leader and Direct Report are aligned and new directions are setup and primed for success.
CEO and COO/Number Two: Success Process is an ideal program for CEOs looking to break free from the day-to-day by delegating to a COO or Number two.
Who Is Not A Good Fit For The Success Process:
Groups or Teams: Success Process is not a coaching program for teams. For team coaching, The Metiss Group Strategic Leadership program addresses that need.
