Leadership and Workforce Development that Lasts. And, Works.

Developing a highly engaged, highly effective team starts with a high impact leader. Our most effective clients are successful because of their commitment to making individual and team workforce development a priority.

Leadership and character development is not about “checking a box.” Sustained change, growth, and improvement begins with a leader who values the most important asset in the organization – the people.

Introducing “Building Character-based Leaders” (BCL) Sessions

There are many ways to develop teams and individuals but after working with thousands of leaders and organizations across the U.S. and internationally, we’ve identified the most effective leadership development tool for creating great culture and building a high performance team with highly engaged team members – what we call a “BCL (Building Character-based Leaders) Session.”

Download our Infographic on BCL sessions

BCL Sessions are short, effective leadership and character development sessions that leverage micro-learning. They are held regularly and frequently, and can be a mix of one or more formats. Formats include: a “book study,” group podcast listening sessions, or a quick review of a “Tool-box Tip” from Blue-Collar Leadership Tool-box Tips. BCL sessions can be used to implement character based leadership development in the organization.

Best Practices to Implement Blue-Collar Leadership

Distribute Blue-Collar Leadership® Books

  • Select, purchase, and distribute books for your team members
  • Ask them to read on their own and report back afterward
  • Tell those who read the entire book to schedule a discussion about the content with the leader who distributed the books (Supervisor, Manager, Owner, etc.)
  • Those who follow through and schedule the appointment are “self-identifying” as leaders or potential leaders who are on board with the initiative
  • Look for ways to leverage those who “self-identify” to spread the content and training to others such as leading book studies (see “Book Studies”)
  • Reward those who “self-identify” with opportunities to develop others or with recognition.

Book Studies

  • Watch our video on conducting a “book study.”
  • Select a facilitator (someone motivated and inspired to lead a book study – position, title, rank isn’t important)
  • Purchase and distribute books to participants
  • Assemble 4-10 person groups in an office, break room, or even in the work area or on the job site (daily, every other day, weekly, etc.)
  • Read and review 1 chapter per session (approximately 15 minutes)
    • Click here for a word for word script the facilitator can use (download and save to your computer)
