Executive Leadership Podcast #105: From Good to Great Through the Valley of Feedback

HR Leadership Training

HR leadership training equips professionals to handle workplace challenges, support employees, and strengthen culture. With practical skills, HR leaders reduce turnover, improve communication, and create healthier environments where teams perform at their best.

Equip HR to Lead Leadership Development

Our HR leadership development program gives people and talent leaders the frameworks, materials, and support to drive leadership growth from inside the organization. This is built for the team that owns development, so the work continues long after we do. It connects naturally to leadership assessments.

When an HR Program Makes Sense

HR programs fit when people leaders want to own and scale leadership development internally, with a proven framework behind them.

An HR Team Ready to Own Leadership Growth

A people team is asked to build a leadership pipeline but has no shared framework and no time to create one. An HR program gives them proven frameworks, ready materials, and certification, so HR can lead development internally, measure it, and sustain it without starting from a blank page each year.

Choose the Focus that Fits Your HR Goals

If you are standing up a program, focus on frameworks and facilitation. If you are scaling, focus on certifying internal leaders. If you are reporting to the board, focus on measurement and assessments. We help you choose during the first conversation.

How HR Teams Apply This

“I have got to tell you that our affiliation with the John Maxwell Company has been the best thing that has happened at HAG since I have been here! This program has changed my dealerships! We are relating better to each other and our customers, we have more patience with each other, and there is a general sense of “getting along” better that I am truly excited about. I want to personally thank you for bringing in this program into HAG and wanted you to know that I am personally seeing the benefits of this.”

Donna Gebers, Market Area Vice President

“I am very impressed by the Maxwell program.”

Charles V. Ricks, Chairman

“I am enjoying my reading material. I am not an avid reader but have committed at least one hour a day every day to reading my material. Not only is it helping me I believe it will have a positive impact on others in my life.”

Dan DeHass, General Manager, Mall of GA Mazda

Frequently Asked Questions

How is your approach to HR-led leadership development different from other HR programs?

Most HR programs hand people information and hope it sticks. Ours is built on John C. Maxwell’s body of work, refined across decades inside organizations of every size, and delivered by certified facilitators trained to turn ideas into habits. The difference shows up afterward, in how your people lead. Many clients pair this with leadership assessments to keep the growth going.

What does a typical HR program look like?

Every engagement starts with your goals and the people you want to develop. From there we shape a sequence of sessions, practical application between them, and checkpoints to see what is changing. A HR program can run as a focused series over a few months or a longer journey for a full pipeline. We adjust format, pace, and content to fit how your people actually work.

What does engagement size look like, and can you scale it?

Engagement size follows the goal. Skill-building works best in groups small enough for everyone to practice, discuss, and hold each other accountable, while shared-language and culture work suit larger groups and senior leaders often do best one to one. We help you decide during the first conversation, and we can run several cohorts in parallel for larger rollouts.

Can you support multi-location and global teams?

Yes. Maxwell Leadership works through the Maxwell Leadership Certified Team, a global community of more than 50,000 coaches, speakers, and trainers operating in over 150 countries. A multi-site or global rollout can be delivered consistently, in region and often in local language, rather than flown in from one headquarters. We coordinate centrally so every location gets the same quality and the same shared language.

How do you measure impact or ROI from a HR program?

We set the measures with you at the start, so success is defined before the work begins. That often combines hard indicators like retention, promotion readiness, and team performance with assessments taken before and after to show how behavior has shifted. We review progress at checkpoints throughout, not just at the end, so you can see the return building and adjust while it still matters.

Can you equip our internal leaders to sustain it?

Yes, and many organizations want exactly that. We can certify and coach your internal leaders to carry the content themselves, so the work keeps running long after the initial engagement. This builds a self-sustaining culture of development, keeps the shared language alive as new people join, and lowers long-term cost because your own leaders move it forward.
