Leadership Development Audit

Maximize the Strategic Impact of Your People Development

Complimentary for organizations exploring the Edge Moves Leadership Lab™ program.

Are Your Technical Stars Struggling to Lead Strategically?

You’ve invested in leadership development for your high-performers, but you’re still seeing the same challenges: brilliant individual contributors who can’t influence cross-functionally, technical experts who struggle to drive strategic initiatives, and managers who execute well but can’t think at the organizational level.

Here’s why: The skills that got them here won’t get them there. Technical excellence and hard work elevated them to mid-level positions, but strategic leadership requires entirely different capabilities—people-centered skills like influence, executive presence, and transformational leadership.

Your leadership development hasn’t addressed this fundamental skills gap.

Get Leadership Development That Bridges the Gap From Technical Excellence to Strategic Impact

I’m Finka, and with 25+ years of leadership experience in financial services plus extensive research on leadership advancement, I’ve created a Leadership Development Audit that identifies exactly where this skills gap exists in your organization.

My recent research with corporate professionals revealed that while foundational people skills (teamwork, empathy, emotional intelligence) are important, strategic leadership requires advanced capabilities: executive presence, influence, relationship building, and the ability to pitch and sell ideas.

The audit pinpoints which of your leaders have the foundational skills but lack strategic capabilities, providing a roadmap to develop them.

Your Leadership Development Audit Journey

Phase 1: Discovery

Targeted interviews with employees and leaders at all levels to assess both foundational people skills (collaboration, emotional intelligence, coaching) and strategic leadership capabilities (influence, executive presence, transformational leadership).

Phase 2: Analysis

Map your leaders against the foundational-to-strategic skills framework, identifying who's ready for strategic development and who needs foundational skills first, plus the organizational barriers limiting advancement.

Phase 3: Recommendations

Receive your personalized Leadership Advancement Report with a skills-based development roadmap, prioritized by business impact, including specific techniques to transform technical experts into strategic leaders.

High-performers plateau because they lack executive presence and strategic communication skills.
Managers can execute tasks but struggle to think strategically and shape organizational direction.
Leadership development investments haven't addressed the people-centered skills that drive strategic impact.
You need to identify which leaders are ready for strategic development vs. foundational skills building.
