THE NEED

At GSI, on-the-ground leaders are the very heartbeat of organizational success. Which is why, during a time of rapid company expansion, GSI recognized the need for a sustainable learning solution that could upskill current and emerging frontline leaders quickly.

Where we began

Working closely with GSI, we identified their highest priorities. They needed a program that would:

  • Reduce the time to proficiency of current and emerging frontline leaders

  • Create a culture of strong and consistent leadership

  • Ensure materials were tailored to GSI’s “family-like” environment

  • Segment learning over time to create sustained skill-building and development

We agreed frontline leaders could receive an immersive cohort experience to quickly build and sustain new skills. The best solution would be a custom, multi-day instructor-led program.

Where we ended up

With GSI’s experts, we designed Build Your Leader Foundation, an instructor-led program tailored to GSI’s culture. This interactive program design includes: 

Group discussions, partner work, and role plays

Self-reflections and behavioral assessments

Multi-media videos and stories

Real-time coaching and feedback

To empower frontline leaders with the skills they need, the program incorporates:
