What is it?

The $750K Influential Leader Challenge is made up of 3 cohorts of 10 leaders each taking the $250k challenge. Each of the three cohorts starts 2 months after the following cohort so that all 3 cohorts finish with in a year, and have generated $750,000+ of extra revenue or documented savings for the organization.

The DIY Influential Leader Challenge is the same as the $250k challenge but taught by your own leaders instead of a Sr. Advisor from Myelin.

The $250K Influential Leader Challenge:

The challenge is to see if the leaders can practice and then implement advanced influence skills called the CSI Method including elements pioneered by FBI Hostage Negotiators and Harvard Professors to influence their direct reports into becoming more of a high performance team and generate at least $25,000 of new revenue or documented savings over the last 6 months of the challenge, (10 leaders x a minimum of $25k each = The $250k Challenge).

The additional constraints of the challenge are that the extra $25,000+ of value:

1. Cannot be by the team just working harder, it has to be by becoming more of a high performance team, working smarter or achieving a higher level of mastery or finding efficiencies, they have to be habits and sustainable gains that won’t disappear after the challenge is over

2. The leader cannot do the work for the team, it has to be the teams performance that has risen by the influence not extra hours of the leader, and

3. The leader has to accomplish this in a away the the team members are proud of themselves and like their job better at the end of challenge then they did at the beginning.

It is an 8 month program for up to 10 leaders.

FAQs

What do the leaders do over the course of the challenge?

For the first 8 weeks they meet together weekly for 2.5 hrs to practice the skills. For the following six months they use the skills wiht their team and meet back together once a month for 2.5 hrs to report their progress and strategize the next month. The monthly reports are then forwarded to the leader boss as well as Sr. Executives of the organization if desired. Additionally the leaders in the course have a mid week check in with their “Strategy Advisor” they are paired up with from the program.

For the first 8 weeks the 2.5 hr sessions typically begin with 30 min of class discussion about that weeks new element of the skill set. The next 45 min half the class acts as a “Strategy Advisor” to the leader they are paired up with and helps them as they design and refine how they plan to accomplish the six month challenge. The next 45 min the those who were Advisors are now advised (this is a different class member then who they advised). The last 30 min includes a class discussion of what they figured out this week and what they plan to improve for the next time they advise someone and ends with a written assessment of themselves and their plan for progress over the next week.

Also on week 5 the leaders design how they intend to influence their team to build the high performance habits and find their own efficiencies. Before week 6 then run this plan past their boss. Before week 7 they meet with their team to invite them to help shape the plan. Before week 8 they launch the plan with their team and at week they share with advisor how the launch went well and what could have been better that they plan to address this first month.

The 2.5 hr sessions for the following six months typically include a 30 min group discussion of what went well last month and what their main obstacles are in reaching their numbers as well as refreshers on the elements of the influence skills. Followed by 45 min of half the class reporting on last month and planning next month with their Strategy Advisor. Then 45 min roles are reversed. The Last 30 min is once again group discussion of learning’s and future plans and written self-assessment.

• FAQ: Does the leader have the same Advisor through the whole course?

• Answer: Typically we recommend keeping the same Advisor for the first 4 months then switching of the last 4. In our experience the consistency of having the same advisor for a number of months generates a level of trust similar to what we are hoping the leaders will be able to continue to grow with their direct reports over the challenge. The reason fo the change at month 4 is from the reverse benefit of new lessons learned both form having a different advisor and experiencing how they do things differently as well as having a different leader to advise.
