Custom leadership training and development
Top global CEOs, executive committees, managers, and high potential leaders trust the Tantalus Group to provide the custom leadership training they need to perform at the highest level. We have coached and trained hundreds of leaders on a wide range of strategy, management, and communications topics. This includes areas like stakeholder planning, crisis communications, media training, M&A strategy, restructuring, and more.
Other training programs often do not have clear objectives, goals, or strategies. Companies end up wasting time and budget on misaligned training. Competency-based training from the Tantalus Group helps organizations understand what skills their leadership needs to succeed and helps grow those skills effectively.
Our competency-based training approach to custom leadership training
Competency-based training starts by understanding what competencies managers and executives need to be successful. The Tantalus Group has helped billion-dollar global organizations create competency frameworks. These frameworks identify the work completed in an organization and the skills needed to complete that work effectively. We tailor these frameworks to align with company goals and objectives.
Based on these frameworks and our real-world experience, we have created several training programs to improve competencies in core areas. Each focus has objectives, applicable content, and key outcomes. Leaders will see an improvement in efficiency and performance after they have been through our training. They will be better equipped to take on the challenges of a modern-day manager and leader.
“We tie learning to real scenarios and real situations within the company. Leaders will see an improvement in efficiency and performance after they have been through our training.”
Wylie Rogers, President and CEO, The Tantalus Group
We tie learning to real scenarios and real situations within the company. Our content comes from experience in the field and working with leaders in top companies worldwide. All workshops include takeaways such as strategy documents, sample methodologies, and feedback.
