Building Great Leaders Overview

We believe that everyone at APi is a leader, regardless of their role. Therefore, we strive to provide everyone with diverse opportunities for leadership development. This includes formal leadership courses. Each course falls into one of three different leadership pillars: “Leading Self,” “Leading Others,” or “Leading Teams & Businesses.” Each pillar is aligned with a distinct set of leadership competencies that represent a different phase in the evolution of a leader at APi. “The ability to lead-self is the first qualification for leading others.” This pillar of leadership is focused on continuously developing the worldviews, knowledge, and skills necessary to lead ourselves well. Beyond our own success, extraordinary self-leadership has a positive influence on others as they observe our example. These development opportunities are appropriate for all levels of leadership, from individual contributor to senior executive. LEADING SELF “TAKE INITIATIVE”

Click to view Leading Self Competencies

This leadership pillar focuses on building the worldviews, skills, and knowledge necessary to positively influence others at the individual level. These opportunities are appropriate for all leaders who are directly responsible for leading others. LEADING OTHERS “INVEST IN OTHERS”

EW 2019 NEW 2 NEW 2019

New Course Offerings for 2019 • Leading Others Pt 1: The 6 Critical Practices • Leading Others Pt 2: The 4 Essential Roles • Financial Leadership

Changes in 2019 Courses previously listed under the Building Great Relationships Series have been moved to the Leading Self pillar in the Building Great Leaders Series. This change is taking place because each of these courses reflect several of the Leading Self competencies and behaviors. These courses are:

• Customer-Centric Sales • Presentation Strategies • Relationship-Based Negotiations

07

In-Person Learning Approach

OUR IN-PERSON LEARNING APPROACH

Our in-person learning opportunities presented in the first portion of this catalog are designed as comprehensive developmental experiences, rather than “training events.”

Each course is focused on broadening participant worldviews and purposefully transferring skills / knowledge that leads to real and consistent application of the learning. Ultimately, our collective success is defined by participant change in behavior that increases their / others’ success.

To this end, each course is comprised of three phases. Participants commit to completing each of these phases:

Phase I - Pre-work:

Course pre-work directly supports overall course learning outcomes by increasing participant readiness for their Phase II experience. Examples of pre-work include pre- reads, assessments, eLearning, and identification of personal leadership challenges / situations that can be applied in Phase II.

Phase II – Experiential Learning:

Interactive learning experiences develop the worldviews, knowledge, and skills required for participants to effectively apply the course material in both their personal and professional lives. Facilitation and individual / group exercises are utilized to achieve course objectives. Each participant will leave Phase II with an aligned and personalized developmental action plan.

Phase III – Follow-through:

Post-course follow-through supports participant application of the knowledge and skills transferred during Phase ll. Follow-through incorporates periodic micro-learning reminders, on-the-job application, action plan progress updates, and coaching.

THE INNOVATION IMPERATIVE What is innovation? Why do we need to innovate? How can you make innovation a core discipline of a company? Are there different types of innovation? This seminar can be customized to be either a half-day or a full day working session with leadership teams. The objective of the seminar is to answer the above questions, assess the company’s innovation capability, and plan initial steps to develop innovation as a core capability. Please contact Dan Wooldridge for further information. GREAT BY CHOICE This one-day seminar explores the concepts researched by Jim Collins in Great by Choice. Why do some companies perform beyond their peers in good times and bad, year over year? This seminar was initially a Leader Lab for APi Group presidents. Your leadership team will develop what Collins calls “the twenty mile march” and the “operating code” that will enable your company to focus its attention on disciplines that make your company more resilient and successful in all market conditions. Please contact Dan Wooldridge for further information. Most construction companies treat every day and every action as a one-off activity. The fact is that the problems we complain about today are the same problems we complained about a decade ago. And the fact that most of these are self-inflicted demonstrates that we have not developed discipline in our organizations. Companies that have applied these concepts have seen a steady rise in profitability. This seminar can be customized for a half day or one day format. The goal is to identify areas where lack of discipline is adversely impacting profitability. Please contact Dan Wooldridge for further information. GREAT COMPANIES, ENDURING COMPANIES THE DISCIPLINED ORGANIZATION Companies that perform beyond their peers and also endure have a unique DNA. These companies have a unique sense of purpose, values, big-hairy-audacious-goals, and vision for the future. They also are clear on what they are passionate about, what they can be the best in the world at doing, and how they best make money. This is not a word-smithing exercise. This is a multi-session exercise, typically 4 days over the course of the year. The goal is to help your company discover its unique purpose and focus. Please contact Dan Wooldridge for further information. PROFESSIONALISM IN THE NEW NORMAL This current age is transforming how companies work. The traditional concept of a “job” is dead. This half day seminar explains why this has happened and what it means to be a professional who doesn’t become obsolete in a rapidly changing world. Designed for company leadership teams and their professional staff. Please contact Dan Wooldridge for further information.
