The Metiss Group’s Strategic Leadership program is your key to unlocking the kind of transformative leadership that not only meets today's challenges but anticipates tomorrow's opportunities.
Leadership is not just about guiding a team—it's about transforming organizations to meet the challenges of tomorrow. The Metiss Group’s Strategic Leadership program is designed to empower leaders with the tools and insights they not only need to adapt to change, but drive it.
Using cutting-edge assessment tools like the Management Research Group’s (MRG) LEA 360, which is trusted by prestigious institutions such as NASA, MIT, and Harvard, this program offers a strategic approach to leadership development that is deeply aligned with organizational goals.
If you're a leader committed to maximizing your impact and driving your team to new heights, this program is an invaluable resource.
The Power of the LEA 360 Tool
The LEA 360 provides a multi-faceted view of a leader’s effectiveness by measuring 22 leadership practices and is directly tied to strategic planning and leadership-driven outcomes that the experts at The Metiss Group will help you discover.
These practices are designed to provide a comprehensive view of a leader’s effectiveness, with a focus on aligning leadership development with the strategic goals of an organization.
By assessing and developing these practices, the LEA 360 tool helps ensure that leadership growth is not only broad-based but also thoughtfully targeted to drive business results.
We fully understand that focusing on all of these 22 practices is too much to take on at once. That is why we guide you in selecting 5-10 areas that fully align with your organization’s short and long-term goals. This step is critical for ensuring that leadership growth translates into tangible business results—the LEA 360 is the cornerstone of the entire program.
Why Participate in The Metiss Group Strategic Leadership Program?
The Metiss Group’s program is tailored for organizations seeking to enhance their strategic leadership capabilities. By participating, leaders gain clarity on their strategic direction, informed by insights from both the LEA 360 tool and the team of experts at The Metiss Group.
The program is designed to help leaders navigate fluid business environments, which have seen unprecedented challenges in recent decades.
For instance, in the last 15 years, the rise of the internet, globalization, and shifting workforce expectations have reshaped the business landscape.

The Strategic Leadership program equips leaders with the tools and strategies needed to address these challenges head-on, and empower teams by fostering confidence, resilience, agility, and perhaps most important, trust in their leadership approach.

At the end of the day, leaders are better positioned to inspire trust within their teams, creating a work environment that is both supportive and forward-thinking.
Ultimately, the Strategic Leadership program not only prepares leaders to face current challenges but also empowers them to drive long-term success and innovation within their organizations.
Strategic Leadership Development Process Steps
Step 1: Comprehensive Assessment
In this phase, leaders collaborate with The Metiss Group to identify key areas of focus. This involves reviewing an organiation’s SWOT analysis, surveys, and brainstorming sessions to determine which of the 22 leadership practices should be prioritized. The selected practices are then integrated into the organization’s strategic plan, ensuring that leadership development efforts are closely aligned with business objectives.
Step 2: 360 Selection and Execution
Here, you select who will undergo the 360 assessments, typically starting with top executives. This top-down approach sets the tone for the entire organization, emphasizing the importance of leadership at every level.
Step 3: Analyze and Report
The Metiss Group then provides a detailed Leadership Effectiveness Analysis, using their “Educate, Emulate, Reflect” framework to guide leaders through the development process. Leaders are coached on how to achieve the ideal zone for each focus area, with ongoing support to facilitate growth and ensure that development efforts are sustained over time.
Who Is The Metiss Group’s Strategic Leadership Program For?
The Strategic Leadership program is ideal for leaders who recognize the value of understanding their teams and fostering a culture of adaptability and growth. It is particularly suited for those who are committed to continuous improvement and are willing to embrace change as part of their leadership journey. An ideal example is an organization who believes they may have mastered foundational leadership approaches but need to adapt to strategic re-directions. Perhaps they need to be more innovative in the future, perhaps as they grow, all leaders must concentrate harder on delegation while not losing sight of results.
On the other hand, the program 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.
How Is Strategic Leadership Different?
One of the distinguishing features of The Metiss Group’s program is its use of a semi-ipsative assessment approach, as opposed to the more common Likert-based methods.
In a semi-ipsative assessment, leaders are evaluated based on a comparative model rather than a simple scale, reducing the likelihood of bias and providing a more accurate reflection of leadership capabilities.
Watch a short two-minute video of Behavior Expert Cynthia Gave explaining the differences in the two approaches and how the semi-ipsative method ensures that the information gathered cannot be easily weaponized, used to shame participants, and ultimately create a safer and more constructive environment for leadership development.
Strategic Leadership Cost Structure
The cost of the Strategic Leadership program varies depending on the level of engagement. A typical leadership program involving two sessions costs between $25,000 and $30,000. This includes setting strategic direction and going through the entire program with the support of the LEA 360 tool and one-on-one coaching. For secondary leadership tiers, the cost ranges from $15,000 to $20,000, with similar inclusions. These investments reflect the comprehensive nature of the program, ensuring that organizations receive a high return on their leadership development efforts.
The Metiss Group’s Strategic Leadership program is a powerful tool for organizations looking to enhance their strategic leadership capabilities. By leveraging the LEA 360 tool and focusing on 22 targeted leadership practices, the program provides a structured yet flexible approach to leadership development. Whether facing the challenges of today’s business environment or preparing for future uncertainties, this program equips leaders with the skills and insights needed to drive their organizations forward. If you’re a leader committed to growth and adaptability, this program could be the key to unlocking your full potential and that of your team.
