ADDICTIVE LEADERSHIP
ADDICTIVE LEADERSHIP
Ultimately, Prosci was falling victim to the same challenges they help others conquer - in a period of exponential growth, leaders began to feel overwhelmed. Prosci engaged Addictive Leadership to get back on track. They had to realize that saying yes to every opportunity was diluting their focus and eating away at time and creative energy. It was important to determine which ideas aligned with strategy and which needed to be a no.
The Addictive Leadership program kicked off with a one-day training and tactical program implementation. Addictive Leadership engaged with the entire Prosci leadership team through: - Scenario training - Taught Prosci leaders to assess all of the meetings, projects, and decisions that were unproductive and Say No to those using a simple script. - Habit formation - Implemented habitual processes to elevate company culture and empower leaders. - Reinforcement - The Addictive Leadership team installed a 10-minute tool to be used once a month to ensure that Prosci realized the maximum value in carrying the principles forward.
Once Prosci hired Addictive Leadership to implement the three principles of Practice Rigorous Authenticity, Surrender the Outcome, and Do Uncomfortable Work, they started seeing immediate results. In the first month: - Scott said 'no' to a dual operating system and saved Prosci $100k. - Randy said 'no' to expanding a license without upfront payment and saved Prosci $90k. - From the CEO: “The time and money we’ve saved has helped us hit record-setting goals at Prosci. The Addictive Leadership Program changed everything for us: culture, turnover, revenue . . . everything has improved. Our strategy now relies on our leaders’ ability to do 100% of their Uncomfortable Work, 100% of the time.”
