What We Offer
The Shambhala Institute has crafted solutions grounded in fact, not opinion. Whether the challenge is building a committed culture, training leaders, honing executive skills, or aligning the organization’s structures, our consulting and training solutions are rooted in hard facts, cutting-edge leadership science and proven best practices.
LEADERSHIP IQ
Most frontline and middle managers don’t have the skills to succeed in a post-9/11, post-Enron, highly-volatile economy. At least that’s what a recent study of Fortune 500 CEOs discovered. 86% of them said that their managers were not sufficiently prepared for the leadership challenges of this economy.
SUCCESSION IQ
As your organization ponders the challenges of the next several years, it needs to ask itself: Are the right people currently serving and fully prepared to take over when key leaders leave? Do you know what people are likely to make the best leaders at every level of the organization? Selecting leaders is a job that can literally make or break.
TEAM IQ
Every organization uses teams in one form or another. Teams can be used to address a specific challenge or as the fundamental system for organizing people. Teams are formed at every level of an organization, from the executive suite to the frontlines. When teams are effective, they create a whole greater than the sum of its part.
EXECUTIVE IQ
83% of senior executives think that their executive team needs some help. When should an executive team act like a team? When should they function as individuals? Who should craft strategy? Who should implement it? How can they generate breakthrough thinking? How can they avoid old, and unsuccessful, patterns of behavior?
STRATEGY IQ
Andy Grove said it best. "Business success contains the seeds of its own destruction. The more successful you are, the more people want a chunk of your business and then another chunk and then another until there is nothing left." To survive during turbulent times, leaders must be serious about outpositioning their competitors.
CULTURE IQ
The strength of an organization’s culture is one of its most fundamental competitive advantages. If you can build and preserve a culture where employees passionately pursue the organization’s mission, you will achieve success. Study after study finds that organizations with strong, committed cultures are measurably more profitable.
