What makes this process unique?

Performance Intervals
Learning about managerial ideas without application is a waste of time and energy. This system allows you to engage in sessions over time with application intervals in between. Not only do you retain the ideas better, but you customize the application of those ideas directly on the job to improve performance.

Comprehensive Material
You’ll receive all the materials you need to fully engage in this process including:
– The ADEPT Leadership Workbook
– A full ADEPT Leadership® 360 feedback report
– Multiple leadership assessments
– Personality profile to apply to various topics
– A note taking portfolio
– Audio recordings of the material
– Access to a personal online fileserver to track your work
– Bi-weekly coach meetings
– Email access to your facilitator for communication

Action Assignments
Practical action assignments are completed and posted on our exclusive ADEPT web portal so they can be reviewed and evaluated by the facilitator and individual feedback can be provided.

Mentor Involvement
The participants’ supervisor is asked to meet with the participant regularly to monitor progress and reduce obstacles to them staying engaged. We provide an opening orientation and bi-weekly guides to help mentors stay on track with what participants are doing.

FAQs

How does this process work?
You will participate in short sessions over a period of weeks. This promotes real learning and application. You will have a workbook that will be your guide for each session, to take notes and provide the assignments. Through the use of multiple assessments, you will customize the process for your unique challenges and focus your efforts on the areas of improvement that are most important to you.

Assignments?
The assignments are given so you can apply the ideas immediately in the two weeks between the sessions. They are practical, designed to help you work “on” your business so you can be more effective working “in” it.

I’m already busy, how much work is there?
Like anything else, you will get out of it what you put into it. Typically, most people spend about 3 hours per week, or 7.5% of a 40-hour work week. Adept clients say that after 3-4 sessions they’ve already saved that amount of time in increased efficiencies by applying the ideas and working “on” their business.

What happens if I miss a session?
The assignments between the sessions will help you stay on course. To qualify for graduation, no more than two absences are permitted. You’ll be asked to notify the facilitator ahead of time when possible and make arrangements to obtain any additional instructions you missed.

Will you tell me what I need to do to improve?
The Adept system will guide you to uncover the areas that are personally most important for you to address to improve performance. Then you will be guided along the way to apply the appropriate parts of the system to improve in those areas.
