The Program is designed to take a holistic approach to build a successful organization powered by diverse leadership styles to create room for growth and continual improvement.
The CrossPath Business Excellence Model
To tailor a Leadership Program to your needs, we first meet with the management team to understand the strategic direction and objectives of the business and its issues. In doing so, we gain an understanding of the business, the management team, the culture, and direction of the company. This allows us to identify individual skills and competencies, address employee challenges including hiring, retention, engagement, and performance, as well as assess needed corrective actions or suggest added emphasis on key management issues. Finally, we introduce Continuous Improvement as a path to sustained performance excellence.
Below is an in-depth look at each step of the CrossPath process. Each organization is different, uses a combination of various leadership styles, and will be at a different place along the CrossPath. We discover what each individual organization needs to reach success when meeting with the management team and discuss this thoroughly with key leaders.

Every organization needs a strategic direction, complete with goals and objectives that are clearly articulated and measured on a regular basis. Without them, they often face associated problems and issues.
We begin the process by gaining an understanding of the strategic direction and mission of the organization. As a result, we help organizations development a strategic plan. We interview the key company managers to:
- Determine, or establish the strategic direction
- Gain insight into the culture and personality of the company
- Understand the organization and the management team
- Understand the goals and objectives
- Build a tailored plan to address, correct or strengthen each employee
Organizational Assessment
The key to addressing organizational issues is to understand the strengths, weakness and culture of the organization. It may be difficult or impossible to implement strategic plans without a supporting organizational culture. Without understanding the culture and assessing the employees’ current competencies, the management team is unable to implement strategies.
We use assessment tools to:
- Identify the current culture
- Identify the organizations’ strengths and weaknesses
- Develop the preferred culture
- Measure workforce engagement
Such information assists in the implementation of its strategic direction, but also enables it to identify the needed training and coaching.
