Unleash the Hidden Power of Your People. . . powered by 21st Century Leadership™

"The Banks International 21st Century Leadership training for my new division management team helped us to more quickly become an effective leadership team and the personal coaching that I received from Pat has resulted in my becoming a better leader and coach." David Christein, Vice President, Molex, Inc.

• If some leaders in your organization don’t seem to inspire people…
• If some leaders in your organization are not delivering expected results…
• If people openly or secretly complain about their bosses, or bosses about their people…

…then, you will want to tap into and unleash the power that results from turning managers into true leaders.  Not realizing this potential may be costing you more than you would want to know.

Scores of individuals tasked with the responsibility to provide results through others opt for management or supervision over leadership.  Yet research supports that what inspires and motivates people to commit to the organization’s mission and excel at execution is leadership, not management or supervision. While Leadership calls for both managerial and supervisory behaviors, they tend to be secondary to the role of leadership. 

Banks International specializes in helping organizations turn “managers” into true and effective leaders.  We help them think, act, respond, strategize, problem-solve, and execute like leaders

Executive Coaching. . . powered by 21st Century Leadership™

"When we decided to initiate a culture change..., we recognized, "change must start with us, at the top leadership level. Your 21st Century Leadership program was the perfect foundation for our journey... Now we are 16 leaders believing & supporting our Vision." Mike M., Chairman, UAW Local in Michigan

If some leaders in your organization…

• unknowingly cause mistrust or otherwise damage relationships…
• seem to rush to judgment, even when they intend well…
• don’t handle opposition very well…
• are so verbally aggressive it’s uncomfortable…
• seem to be stuck with the same or similar problems and can’t seem to fix them…

…then, we can coach them and help them to change whatever is at the root of the problem. By unleashing their hidden capability and latent talents you protect the investment you’ve made in them. 

Executive Coaching is a series of structured, personal (1:1) or small group interventions between the coach and the individual(s), designed to help them address specific behaviors, attitudes, or practices of concern that adversely impact relationships and/or performance.

The process always starts with interviews, observations, and assessments to quickly confirm and analyze the problem(s).  These activities also uncover additional related data, such as interaction styles, problem solving preferences, strengths, communication strategies, motivational values, and more.   All this information is used to construct an efficient and cost effective action plan specific to the leader’s needs.

Banks International offers two distinctive approaches which can be surprisingly affordable:

Executive Tune Up™ –for when what needs to change is one or two isolated behaviors in an individual or group.  Examples can be: not speaking up, disorganization, prioritization issues, poor inquiry and advocacy, ineffective problem solving, etc.  

Leadership Tune Up™– a one-on-one process for when what needs to change is an individual’s style or general approach to people or situations. Examples can be: high command/control, micromanaging, verbal aggression, excessive fire-fighting, etc.

Lead Team Development & Group Coaching . . . powered by 21st Century Leadership™

"When we decided to initiate a culture change…, we recognized, ‘change must start with us, at the top leadership level.’ Your 21st Century Leadership program was the perfect foundation for our journey... Now we are 16 leaders believing & supporting our Vision." Juan José Chávez, VP Manufacturing, Western Reflections

• If some leaders in your organization aren’t executing to expectations…
• If some leaders in your organization could and should be performing better…
• If a leader’s organization isn’t performing to expectations…
• If complaints about a leader are numerous and from varying sources …

We can easily help them gain the skills and competencies necessary for them to make those contributions you need and expect of them.

To maximize efficiency and minimize costs, leadership development always begins with targeted assessments, followed by the creation of a plan which may include formalized education and training, skill building, coaching, mentoring, and self-monitored activities such as reading.  While the development may specifically target the social and interaction or functional skill sets, most efforts pay off best when combined.

Banks International offers off-the-shelf and custom made interventions to develop leaders.  Our flagship program, 21st Century Leadership™ is our most sought after training for Leadership Development.  We also offer a full range of customized related services, such as assessments, executive coaching, and consultation,

Strategic Thinking and Planning . . . powered by Simplex^®

Revolutionizing HOW People Think

"Banks International bases its services in the creation of a culture that fosters organizational learning centered on people’s knowledge, skills and their vision.” Roberto Montiel, Internal Consultant, Volkswagen de México, S.A. de C.V.

• If your share of the market is not what you believe it should or could be…
• If you’re not satisfactorily solving major, important, strategic issues…
• If one or more components of the organization aren’t performing to expectations…

We can help put your knowledge of your business together with the Simplex® Strategic Problem Solving process to address strategic challenges. The process will help you focus your strategy and develop your strategic and tactical plans, so that everyone can support your Vision.

While most businesses have a Vision Statement, research supports that not too many people really know or understand the strategy that will bring the Vision to life. That’s because many leaders - senior managers and executives included - have not been adequately trained or developed to think strategically. They’ve been trained, developed and rewarded to think tactically. Until this changes, the battle is uphill.

We can help your leaders develop strategically. You provide the content and we bring the process. We will guide you through the Simplex® Strategic Problem Solving process, or we can teach you how to execute the process on your own.
