Leader Development
Leading is about connecting with people, not just setting the strategic direction of a team. True connection and understanding allow leaders to motivate and empower the human capital within their organizations. Leaders must develop astute awareness of their behavior and how it is received by others.
Many organizations – private and public sector – are grappling with how best to prepare and support leaders for increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous environments. As a result, many of these organizations are taking a fresh holistic look at their leadership development programs to assess and enhance their efficacy. Leveraging the experience and perspectives of former executives and senior leaders, we offer engaging and experience-based training and development programs that support executives and leaders in addressing their most pressing challenges. Services include leadership assessment (e.g., 360, Leadership Style inventory, Birkman, Strengths Finder), customized training solutions, and individual and team coaching.

The Birkman Method
Pivotal's Preferred Assessment
While we can administer almost any personality, skills, behavioral, or leadership assessment available on the market, our assessment of choice is the Birkman Method. Birkman enables leaders to become aware of small implications that make big differences to their performance as a leader. The job of an effective leader is to motivate and empower the human capital within an organization, and thus, leaders must be able to understand how to communicate with, motivate, and appreciate the different types of people that compose the organizations they lead.Birkman is a tool for understanding people. Through better understanding with Birkman, leaders can learn how to connect with and motivate different personality styles in their organization, know how to better handle difficult conversations, and see the implications of their reactive stress behaviors.
