Leadership Development Programs
Saberr will work with you to develop high impact leadership development programs that shift mindsets, develop skill sets, and unlock the full potential of the leaders across your organization.
Too much leadership coaching has a bias to the classroom. Our coaching has a bias to application. At Saberr, we believe in learning by doing. Here are just a few reasons why our leadership programs are so unique:
Provide your managers with the same development opportunities, wherever they are in the world, with our scalable—and largely remote—leadership programs. We will carefully integrate high impact sessions and leverage technology to ensure you get the most from your budget, without compromising on quality.
In many coaching programs, there is a chasm between what gets taught and what gets put into practice in a real world setting. Saberr closes this chasm by integrating digital coaching into your leadership program. Using a combination of machine learning, behavioral science, and nudge coaching technology, Saberr’s leadership development software delivers contextually relevant learning resources to managers in the flow of their work, not only reinforcing learning, but also enabling them to continue developing on-the-job.
Ensure your managers are developing the habits and routines that have been proven to improve team performance. This includes having regular one-to-ones, establishing well-defined team goals and action plans, and reflecting on what is and isn’t working as a team. Saberr not only provides them with a foundational understanding of these seven habits, but we ensure they’re putting them into practice, and then track just how good they are at adopting them.
Saberr’s approach to leadership development is fully backed by the data, having been developed on more than 100 years worth of research, not to mention our own groundbreaking research into what makes teams truly tick. In fact, this research has been featured in both the Wall Street Journal and FT.
