Retain & Develop
Cornerstone - Kansas City helps leaders improve employee engagement in order to enhance accountability, reduce burnout, strengthen retention, and increase overall productivity. Additionally, we utilize assessments to help management understand their vital role in the process, improve emotional intelligence, sharpen leadership effectiveness, and teach the actions and strategies needed to sustain a culture of engagement.
Our engagement philosophy is to attract, retain, and develop leaders:
attract
We attract through a dynamic network of local, regional, national and global contacts and executive recruiters through our exclusive CIG network and other proprietary networks
retain
We retain by understanding the challenge of “fit” and keeping square pegs out of round holes, including an on-board coaching program that can be bundled with any major search assignment
develop
We develop with supporting and customized executive coaching programs for senior management and high performers
The Cornerstone suite of leadership development and coaching services is designed to meet your leadership development needs at every step, from Onboard Coaching for new hires to Executive Coaching for seasoned leaders.
Our network of highly qualified coaches provides consistency in delivery on a local or international level yet maintaining the personalized local approach that has been the hallmark of Cornerstone executive services for more than two decades.
We have ICF Certified Coaches in different countries and represent a variety of cultures and languages on every continent.
Developing Leaders through Executive Coaching
Our highly personalized, one-on-one Executive Coaching programs designed for leaders to increase awareness, refine leadership skills and achieve aligned identified goals of the executive, stakeholder, and company.
Both local and multinational Executive Coaching initiatives are monitored and evaluated by Cornerstone Executive Coaching Services, including review by ICF-credentialed Peer Coaches, to maintain quality and consistency.
