Legacy by Design: Creating Programs That Build and Empower Tomorrow's Leaders | Collaborate Live-Legacy by Design [REPLAY]

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Kiera presents a practical framework for intentionally shaping an organization’s legacy through leadership development: <strong>Ask, Build, Connect</strong>. First, listen to employees and leaders to identify needs, including promising people who may lack the confidence or opportunity to speak up. At Peachtree Orthopedics, employee conversations revealed demand for skill development, communication support, and leadership opportunities.

Next, build programs around the organization’s people and needs, securing stakeholder support with a clear problem, plan, and pilot evidence. Peachtree created a development pathway: <em>Leaders in the Making</em> for curious employees, <em>Emerging Leaders</em> for high-potential staff, and <em>Level Up</em> for managers and directors. Participants are empowered through discussion, practical resources, and opportunities to co-facilitate.

Finally, connect outcomes to the original purpose through participant feedback, self-assessments, and tracking internal applications and promotions. The goal is to develop confident employees, strengthen retention, and ensure the organization’s legacy is designed rather than left to chance.
