Quest for Excellence
In a suffering economy, just as in a prospering one, it is critical that managers transition quickly and effectively to their expected leadership roles. The Quest for Excellence is an 8-week development program, instructing managers to model behavior that creates positive organizational change.
Often, organizations promote employees to leadership positions largely based on their technical knowledge and proficiency. However, just as frequently, these same organizations neglect to equip their managers with the skills that are essential to leading a workforce and organization at high levels. That means 75% of first-line managers, and manager's of managers, who are supposed to make this critical transition, are stuck or haven't even started. They're still trying to learn the job, without being given the proper skills or guidance to do so.
These inefficiencies are due to several misconceptions:
Myth #1. Promotion Equals Transition
Just promoting high-potential individual contributors into management positions doesn't mean they'll automatically make the full transition into a leadership role.
Myth #2. Management Skills Training is the Answer
Providing people with traditional management skills training (coaching, delegation, etc.) far from guarantees successful leadership transitions. Transitioning successfully also requires a fundamental shift in approach and behaviors commensurate with high-impact leaders.
Myth #3. Leadership Transitions Happen Quickly
It takes 24-36 months, or never, for people to fully transition into the leadership role. Our approach has reduced this transition time to 8-12 months!
Myth #4. Ineffective Leadership Transitions Aren't Costly
The cost of a non-transitioned manager is roughly $108,000 per manager per year!
These are the issues we address in The Quest of Excellence program. Participants experience leading-edge Management Assessment, Quest of Excellence program content, and the QfEx Action Planning process. They're taught the real basics of management, giving them the foundation they need to be successful.
The Quest for Excellence program is a great investment of time for each participant. 95% of people, after going through the course, recommend it not only to other peers but also their managers. Ember Carriers even guarantees that participants going through the program and applying the learning will have a positive financial impact on their organization.
ROI Outcomes
- Leadership principles build productivity -> Value ROI
- Effective employee retention -> Talent ROI

Leadership Excellence and Performance (LEAP)
Today’s economy is more challenging then ever and business is more competitive then ever. “Business as usual” is unlikely to yield survival, much less success. Many organizations recognize one of the keys to long-term competitiveness lies in effective leadership. The best measure of leadership is its contributions to the top and bottom line.
The Leadership Excellence and Performance course is a 14-week mentored program. This is where leadership development meets tangible returns. A multi-tiered development process engages senior managers of the organization and workshop participants to seek out opportunities to increase revenues, margins, productivity; or reduce costs.
Example ROI Outcomes
- 10 participants enter the program and each brings a $100K cost saving idea that will net savings; this is $1M in potential savings. Even if 50% of the projects fail, ROI is up to $500K.

iTeam Builder
iTeam, the shortened term for "Intensive Team Engagement and Morale Builder Workshop," is an highly interactive, multi-day experience that strengthens teamwork, drives efficiencies, and produces long-term return on your investment.
Why is it so hard to build & maintain effective teams?
Teams are traditionally made up of unique individuals, each bringing different styles, needs, motivations and expectations to the table. These differences can be a strength when members work together, each submitting their specialty for collaboration. But when team members use these differences to work against one another, it creates conflict, and a loss of productivity. Unfortunately, the second scenario is much more natural than the first, which is what makes it so tough to build and maintain effective teams.
iTeam Workshop Goals
There are many workshops and activities advertised as "team-building." However, most are just fun events, lacking any real direction or learning objective. They' are poorly facilitated, and generic, not taking the specific dynamics of a given team into account. Truth is, there's a big difference between a fun team activity, and a workshop that measurably improves the overall effectiveness of ateam. iTeam is a dynamic, energetic, and fun workshop that operates with your team's goals in mind.
The aim of every iTeam workshop is to enable participants to learn more about themselves and about others. Participants learn how to combine their strengths with those of their colleagues; working together to ensure the team achieves their performance or organizational goals. iTeam workshops are tailored to the needs of the team, so each experience is as unique as the personalities involved.
Workshop ROI and Outcomes
A custom agenda is created to address the team’s objectives. The interactive and experiential workshop covers the basics of team dynamics, action planning, and developing a joint vision for the team.
Dynamic Teams yield engagement ----> Team ROI
Effective Teams execute faster -------> Objective ROI
