Einblau & Associates

Leadership development and succession planning

From offices in Calgary, Alberta and Vancouver, British Columbia, the firm also runs public training in Edmonton alongside its consulting work. It serves clients across North America, and it describes its specialty as building resilient organisations that last and grow, including through periods of destabilising change. The firm's work centres on leadership, team performance and succession, the planning that prepares a business for future leaders.

Its leadership development programmes help leaders grow into the roles they need, and succession planning identifies and develops the people who will lead the organisation later. The firm frames its aim as helping the leaders of a business grow themselves, so that the working environment improves as a result.

Coaching for managers and executives

Coaching runs at two levels. For managers, the firm offers Coaching for Commitment, a course in coaching skills designed to help managers turn difficult conversations into chances for growth, both for themselves and for their teams. For managers, senior leaders and executives, it offers one-to-one leadership coaching aimed at growth to their full potential.

Team building and conflict resolution

The firm runs team building and conflict resolution work, including its own seminars and a programme called Plain Talk, which it describes as a route to a motivated team with better performance and communication. Its team building is built around common goals, with methods for building and keeping productive, high-performing groups.

The firm also develops customised programmes that support leaders in building team-focused cultures, and it describes its management skills training as covering leadership and organisational development in practice.

Assessments and analytics

The firm uses practical assessment and analytics tools that it describes as scientifically validated and reliable, covering strengths, accountability, employee engagement, workplace stress and the retention of senior talent. Its Insights reports are used to understand how a team's members work together, and the firm also runs a Strength Deployment Inventory seminar. Job Benchmarking is offered for identifying the soft skill competencies a role needs, and the firm presents it as a way to make candidate assessment more precise.

The organisations and managers it works with

The firm works with organisations across North America and with the managers and leaders inside them. It has a long record in Western Canada, and its public courses bring leaders from different organisations together to learn the same skills in a shared setting.
