Stages of Meirc’s Leadership Development Program

Four key stages distinguish the Meirc Leadership Development Program:

1. Assessment

Pre-program assessment to gauge leadership development requirements.

2. Training

Structured training designed to meet participants’ needs.

3. Coaching

Coaching to cement participants’ skills and expand their knowledge.

4. Final Evaluation

The project, examination, and post-program reflection on value addition.

Each of the stages is fully customizable depending on the input received from the client.

Assessment: Assessments can range from a single tool assessment to a fully-fledged assessment center, to ensure an in-depth understanding of a candidate’s leadership development needs.

Training: With a rich portfolio of training courses based on modularized content, the design, and customization of a structured training program is quick, efficient, and an excellent fit for clients’ expectations.

Coaching: Coaching sessions can be conducted face-to-face or virtually and can range from 30 minutes up to two hours, depending on the needs of the participants or the organization, to cement the knowledge and skills acquired and enhance the newly discovered abilities.

Final evaluation: Evaluations can be in the form of a final multiple-choice examination, a work-related project (individual or team), or both to ensure a candidate’s ability to contribute to the value of the business organization once the leadership development journey concludes.
