Case Study: Leaderology

In today's blog entry, we're proud to share a new case study created in partnership with our customer, Leaderology, who uses the EchoSpan 360-degree feedback system to provide coaching services to their clients.

"Just like professional athletes, all great leaders need coaches, too. Coaching is a positive thing! We prefer not to only be brought in for coaching when there is an issue with a leader, but rather for high potentials to help them get to the next level."

- Lena Baer, VP of Operations for Leaderology

Who is Leaderology

Everyone wants to reach their full potential, to develop those latent qualities or abilities hidden deep within us to achieve success. Leaderology is a women-owned (WBENC certified), Gold Stevie Award Winning leadership development firm that helps business leaders and teams do just that. They offer customized leadership development, executive coaching, and strategy/team alignment services designed to help clients undergo a shift of self-awareness, empowering them to step fearlessly into their fullest leadership potential.

Each service provides valuable tools for developing individuals who want to increase self-confidence, improve working relationships, enhance communication styles, and leverage their personal strengths.

Leaderology's Keys to Success

All of Leaderology's engagements are geared specifically for growth, and communication of that message is key.

"Just like professional athletes, all great leaders need coaches, too. Coaching is a positive thing! We prefer not to only be brought in for coaching when there is an issue with a leader, but rather for high potentials to help them get to the next level," said Leaderology's VP of Operations, Lena Baer.

"Prior to launching any projects, there is always correspondence that goes out to participants (usually from the executive level) fully explaining the process and [its] benefits. It's important to make everyone feel comfortable, confident and safe."

In addition to ensuring proper communication, Lena attributes Leaderology's success to providing white-glove customer service, securing executive buy-in and involvement in all projects, their proven multi-touch process with built-in mechanisms for accountability, and having the right technology in place internally.

Enabling Growth with EchoSpan

Upon inception in 2019, Leaderology already had an active book of business due to the loyal following of happy clients the team had built from previous experiences and projects.

Thanks to the amazing results they produce, that book of business grew substantially in a very short period of time. A crucial component of Leaderology's services is a 360 feedback assessment, but the homegrown assessment tool they were using was not working for them. It was very time consuming to use and didn't provide the reporting capabilities needed.

In order to keep up with the demand of a rapidly growing client base, Leaderology needed to pivot quickly.

Enter EchoSpan.

Leaderology deployed EchoSpan's 360-assessment tool because they were familiar with the company's reputation for great customer service, quick deployment, and user-friendliness. They wanted a partner who they could trust to provide the same level of excellence service Leaderology provided to its clients.

"We do all the heavy lifting for our clients. So we needed a 360-assessment tool that would do the same thing for us, and EchoSpan provides the same great level of customer service we do."

It's not just the amazing customer service that Leaderology enjoys with EchoSpan. The team feels confident using a reliable platform with no down time, that is constantly innovating with quarterly updates. A quick and seamless implementation was also impressive.

EchoSpan's Benefits for Leaderology

Additional EchoSpan features the Leaderology team appreciates include:

• Mass uploading targets and raters, which is a big-time saver.

"Our goal is to help our clients reach their full potential, and EchoSpan is helping us to reach ours. As our business evolves, EchoSpan's platform evolves right along with us. We love that," said Lena.
