APRIL - 2023HR TECH OUTLOOK19We look beyond the leader and organization's pain points to uncover the consequent symptoms that are preventing the organization from operating at its peak. This allows us to design multiple layered solutions to mitigate the issues while proactively preventing them in the futurebrand and address their internal barriers to further their journey as successful leaders. They need help getting rid of head trash and ingrained beliefs and behaviors that operate subconsciously, impeding their growth. We see all the time, individuals experiencing burn-out due to the constant time and attention needed to meet the growing demands. Teams and leaders alike have challenges driving crucial conversations and managing emotions and behaviors to drive the best results. For instance, an organization contacted AG due to poor employee engagement survey results and lackluster employee performance on two large teams. AG helped the organization identify and develop a leadership development program customized to grow team members' capabilities within their time constraints and competing priorities. Similarly, in other cases, clients need help with employees who are flight risks or retiring soon. AG partners with leaders, helping them develop their successors for career progression while creating a new culture where all people are valued within the organization. AG complements its development programs with leadership retreats, micro-learning, and workshops. Our most sought-after involve greater trusting relationships, breaking down silos, embracing differences and change, and minimizing poor leadership behaviors that no longer serve the person and the organization. AG also conducts job benchmarking for its clients, helping them identify the behaviors, motivators, and skills required to succeed.Another unique feature that sets AG apart is its approach to formulating a comprehensive picture of the organizational culture and employee engagement issues that uncover unwritten rules that have gone unrecognized and must be addressed by companies to remain competitive. When coaching or developing teams need to tackle some of the most difficult organizational challenges, AG uses a proprietary coaching framework that allows for deviation and flexibility to match the needs of the individual being coached. "In the wake of tough times like the pandemic, great resignation, and downsizing, it is very important to connect organizational transformation and development with the ROI. We look beyond the pain points to find out how the consequent symptoms have prevented the organization from being profitable," says Nichols-Mitchell. "This allows us to design multiple solutions to mitigate the issues and also take a proactive approach to prevent them in the future." Over the last two years, AG has grown by 300 percent through referrals alone. Rather than providing generic, pre-packaged solutions, it prioritizes listening to clients and learning their unique needs and circumstances to develop tailored approaches that are most likely to succeed.
