Individual Contributors

Thousands of organizations across the globe have found success using CLS’s leadership development program to turn their emerging leaders’ potential into performance. While we offer several solutions catered specifically to individual contributors, we encourage newcomers to begin with the Situational Performance Ownership® course. This course teaches individuals how to take ownership over their own development through using Situational Leadership® practices to diagnose and communicate their needs with their leader. Once they have a solid foundation to build from, individual contributors can develop more specific leadership skills with our additional courses, allowing them to become well-rounded, competent leaders.

There are a number of skills that individual contributors need to develop to be able to perform well in their role, including:

• Agility
• Effective communication
• Performance development
• Displaying engagement
• Influence
• Change adaptability

CLS is one of the leading providers for leadership skill-development training. Our solutions empower individual contributors to master these skills and many more. We go above and beyond to provide the proven strategies, expert tools and actionable knowledge they need to deliver exemplary performance, whether they’re an informal or an emerging leader in your organization.

For over 55 years, CLS has remained steadfast in our mission to transform aspiring leaders into confident, effective and impactful change-makers.
