The Power Optimization Program™

A Program Engineered for Definitive Leadership Growth
The Power Optimization Program™ is a one-on-one, confidential development program engineered to trigger rapid leadership growth. It provides clients a sophisticated, in-depth and precise understanding of their personalities and related tools for translating that understanding into greatly heightened interpersonal effectiveness. Based on the Four Powers System™, the Program provides skills upgrades and mastery in each of the Four Powers domains of Intellect, Passion, Emotion and Inspiration.

Not Just Executive Coaching
The Power Optimization Program™ includes the standard elements of a conventional coaching program—but goes far beyond just that. In its depth of content and in its precision and logic, it provides an eight-month experience that is intensive yet exhilarating in the success it fosters.

First Module—Investigation of Strengths and Obstacles
The Program unfolds over three modules. The first program module is the Investigation (assessment) phase. Here, we collect crucial information by:

• Interviewing the leader with whom we are working and identifying goals and career vision;
  
• Collecting 360-degree, multi-rater feedback from peers, managers, direct reports and others by means of the Quadrapotent Leadership Survey™; and
  
• Administering and collecting data from carefully selected, sophisticated psychological assessment tools that are only available to licensed psychologists.

The collected body of data is rich in content. It provides the fuel for the self-understanding that is key to effective and sustained behavioral change.

Module Deliverable: A confidential 6 to 8 page Power Optimization Program Report™ that provides a comprehensive and precise map to the client for understanding his or her personality. It identifies both key strengths and core obstacles to greater success.

Second Module—Gaining Insight
The second module is the Insight (integration) phase. At this stage, the new possibilities raised in the Report catalyze the leadership transformation process. This module consists of two private two-hour meetings between the consultant and client during which the following occurs:

• The client gains an in-depth, precise understanding of his or her personality based on the Power Optimization Program Report™.
  
• The client is also provided a Four Powers Diagnosis™.
  
• The client's central personality themes are identified—neutral characteristics which appear as strengths or key obstacles depending on how well they are managed.
  
• The client is provided multiple toolsets for optimally managing his or her personality and maximizing interpersonal effectiveness.
  
• Each tool, derived from the Four Powers System™, is engineered for logical precision, high impact and easy application.

Module Deliverable: A highly personalized Power Optimization Roadmap™ that specifies the client’s development goals and the means of achieving them.

Third Module—Transformation
The third and final module is the Implementation (transformation) phase. This is the most rewarding module because it is here that the developmental possibilities become realities and significant results are achieved. During this phase:

• The client implements the tools provided and otherwise adjusts his or her actions to get maximum results.
  
• The consultant meets with the client regularly over a period of six months to:
  
  • Calibrate the tools to ensure optimal impact; and
    
  • Provide strategic and tactical support to the client in successfully meeting the many challenges encountered in leadership transformation.
    
• Results are achieved and documented.

Module Deliverable: Substantial improvement in those leadership behaviors identified in the Power Optimization Roadmap™, as documented in a supplemental, 360-degree Quadrapotent Leadership Survey™ completed within the final two months of the Program.
