What is the Average Cost of the Strategic Leadership Alignment™ Program?

What Drives the Cost of The Strategic Leadership Alignment™ Up?
Several factors can contribute to the higher end of the cost range, including:
The Number of Leaders Involved
The number of leaders participating in the program is a significant factor. Each leader requires a comprehensive LEA 360 assessment, which evaluates leadership effectiveness and alignment with organizational goals using perspectives from leaders and observers. These assessments include in-depth analysis and personalized coaching sessions, both of which require dedicated resources.

For example, an organization with a leadership team of 5 leaders will incur a lower cost than one involving 10 leaders taking the assessments. The resources needed to evaluate, coach, and guide a larger group naturally increase with more participants. While the number of leaders taking the LEA 360 does impact the price, there is no limit to the number of observers taking who participate in the assessment.
The Duration of Coaching Services
The length of the coaching period also affects the cost. Longer coaching engagements allow for a deeper exploration of leadership challenges and the development of customized strategies. Organizations seeking extensive support should opt for an extended duration, which provides more opportunities for sustained growth and alignment.
What Drives the Cost of The Strategic Leadership Alignment™ Down?
Not surprisingly, the factors driving costs up can also help keep them in check:
Streamlined Leadership Teams And Coaching Plans
Focusing on a smaller, core leadership group can decrease costs. By targeting key decision-makers, and sticking to the original coaching plan, organizations can achieve significant alignment, and explore additional coaching opportunities later..
This focused approach is ideal for businesses with limited budgets but a clear vision for leadership transformation.
Are There Hidden Fees in The Strategic Leadership Alignment™ Program?
The Strategic Leadership Alignment™ program is designed to be transparent. There are no hidden fees or surprise costs. The program covers all necessary components, from assessments to coaching and structured learning modules.
However, optional enhancements are available for organizations looking to expand their scope. For instance, some clients choose to extend the duration of coaching or include additional leadership tiers in the program. While these options come at an additional cost, they are entirely discretionary and tailored to each organization’s needs.
For example, a company may decide mid-program to include mid-level managers in assessments and coaching. This decision can amplify the program's impact, creating alignment across multiple leadership layers. Such enhancements demonstrate the program’s flexibility and adaptability to organizational growth, but do come with an additional cost overall.
