Even the finest automobiles need an occasional leadership development tune-up. It’s not that they’re running badly — in fact they may be running quite well. The critical question is whether or not they will continue to perform at a high level in the future. Without periodic road tests and diagnostic evaluations that analyze the current performance level of the vehicle — and appropriate servicing — there is no assurance that high performance levels will continue.

As a leader you are in the driver’s seat for your organization. Your team, your employees, processes and technology are the complex engine that runs the organization. To ensure you are leading in a manner that guarantees superior performance in your current organization and enhances the likelihood of future success, how often do you calibrate your leadership development performance? Ongoing superior performance cannot be taken for granted — maybe it’s time to run some diagnostics and find out if you and/or your team performance needs a tune-up!
