Turn High Performers into High-Impact Leaders

Promoting technical experts into leadership roles without development often leads to disengaged teams, missed goals, and stalled growth. Strong leadership requires more than experience; it takes the right mindset and behaviors.

Since 1955, PRADCO has helped organizations build leadership bench strength through behavior-based development programs. Our proven approach equips new managers with the tools, confidence, and skills to lead effectively from day one.

The Hidden Cost of Delaying Leadership Development

When leadership readiness is ignored or postponed, your organization feels it immediately:

Seventy percent of employee turnover is tied to ineffective direct managers

Teams led by untrained leaders produce fifty percent less than teams with developed managers

Managers spend up to sixty percent more time reacting than leading strategically

The average company loses $13,500 per employee on ineffective training

What if your managers had the support to grow from individual contributors into confident leaders who inspire performance?

A Practical, Proven Path to Leadership Growth

Leadership development fails when it is abstract or isolated. Without reinforcement, concepts are forgotten and behavior never changes. PRADCO’s approach is practical, structured, and backed by measurable results.

From Concepts to Confidence

We combine assessments, cohort learning, personalized coaching, and real-world application. Participants do not just learn leadership theory; they practice new behaviors that create lasting change.

Development That Sticks

Growth happens when new leaders apply what they learn over time. That is why our programs are delivered over several months with built-in coaching, manager alignment, and workplace application.

What Leaders Say About the Experience

  • We are incredibly impressed with the impact PRADCO’s management training has had on our team. From the outset, their program was tailored to address the specific needs of our managers, and the results have been remarkable.

    Just one month post-training, we are consistently seeing our managers actively applying the skills they learned. The true testament to PRADCO’s effectiveness lies not just in the practical tools they provided, but also in the deep self-awareness our leaders gained. They now have a much clearer understanding of their own leadership styles and, crucially, how to adapt their approaches to suit different situations and team members. This newfound adaptability has fostered a more collaborative and productive environment across the board. PRADCO’s management training wasn’t just a one-off event; it was an investment that is clearly paying off in the ongoing growth and effectiveness of our management team. We highly recommend PRADCO to any organization looking to empower their leaders and drive meaningful, lasting change.

Client Success Story: Closing the Leadership Gap

The Challenge

A national insurance brokerage had fewer than 5% of supervisor roles filled by women. This limited their leadership pipeline and weakened diversity across the organization.

The Solution

PRADCO implemented the Women in Leadership Program over five years, running six cohorts and focusing on key development behaviors like strategic influence and authentic leadership.

The Results

  • Female leadership increased from 5% to over 50%
  • Nearly 30% of participants advanced into top leadership roles
  • 18% of the workforce completed the program
  • The initiative was recognized as the organization’s gold standard for talent development

This was more than a leadership program. It became a strategic part of the organization’s growth.
