At CultureGenetix, leadership development isn’t just training — it’s cognitive evolution. Our programs strengthen the neural DNA of your organization, rewiring how leaders think, act, and inspire.

Partnering with DDI | Development Dimensions International, we are proud to offer over 30 courses spanning the full leadership pipeline — from frontline supervisors to executives — we blend diagnostic insights, experiential learning, and practical tools to spark measurable behavior change.

Together with DDI, we deliver more than skills. We deliver a system of growth that drives performance, engagement, and long‑term success across the enterprise. Listed below are the course descriptions for our core development offerings:

Building an Inclusive Environment – 4 hour course

This session moves past the numbers game of diverse representation to focus on leaning into and leveraging the unique abilities, perspectives, styles, and ideas of each person. Stereotypes and unconscious bias are explored as well as the differences in who we are, how we think, and what it means to be an inclusive workplace. Three practices lay out a personalized path for identifying, engaging with, and advocating for individuals whose voices must and should be heard.

Building Partnerships – 4 hour course

In this course, mid- to senior level leaders learn to evaluate their current network and take steps to close gaps. They identify personal and organizational barriers that hamper efforts to negotiate, collaborate, and communicate as they build partnerships.

Building Trust – 4 hour course

This course introduces Trust Builders, actions leaders can take to build and sustain trusting relationships, as well as common Trust Breakers that can erode or quickly break trust. Applying these skills to build trusting relationships enables people to take risks, identify and solve problems, and collaborate to achieve business results.

Communicating Effectively – 4 hour course

This course highlights to leaders that engaging the “head”—the business outcome of the conversation—is just as critical as recognizing and addressing the “heart”—people’s feelings such as being respected or appreciated. Leaders will recognize the role of emotional intelligence in success as a leader as they develop foundational leadership skills that apply to the wide range of workplace situations they must handle.

Customer Focus – 4 hour course

This course equips leaders to build stronger relationships by understanding customer needs, adapting communication, and resolving issues with professionalism. Through role‑plays, case studies, and practical tools, participants practice listening, empathizing, and delivering solutions that foster trust and loyalty. The program emphasizes creating a culture of customer‑focused service, ensuring teams consistently provide experiences that drive satisfaction and long‑term success.

Delegation – 4 hour course

This course sets out to help leaders shift their mindset about what they can delegate and feel more comfortable and confident doing so. Learners dig into their workload to identify tasks they’d never consider delegating. They use methods for matching people to tasks they’re both motivated and capable of doing. And, they practice the delegation conversation they’ll have to ensure success.

Driving Change – 4 hour course

This course provides the skills and resources leaders need to accelerate the process of implementing change with their team members and to create an agile work environment where people are more open to change.

Essential Skills for Emerging Leaders (Basic Supervisory Skills Series) – 8 hour course

In this skills series, leaders will learn the key elements of executing strategy at the front line.  The program begins by clarifying the supervisor’s role and responsibilities, then builds core competencies in communication, motivation, delegation, performance management, conflict resolution, and team building.  By the end of the session, supervisors not only understand the fundamentals of leading a team but also leave with a personalized action plan to put their skills into practice, ensuring both confidence and effectiveness in their role.

Fostering Innovation – 4 hour course

This course provides a practical approach, and tools and techniques, to help leaders and their teams think differently about how they work and to help them generate new ideas that add value to your organization and your customers. Leaders also learn what they can say and do to foster innovation with their teams.

Influencing – 4 hour course

Whether it’s an innovative breakthrough or a simple process improvement, making it happen generally requires support and commitment to act from others in the organization. The best way to gain this commitment is to understand each stakeholder’s motivations, values, and goals, and have a plan that leverages these factors.

This course shows leaders, both experienced and aspiring, how to package their ideas in a way that will win over even the most skeptical individuals. They learn creative strategies to appeal to stakeholders’ heads and hearts, transform their perspectives, and gain their commitment to action.

Leading High-Performance Teams – 4 hour course

All teams face challenges. Whether an agile leader, project leader, formal or informal leader - the team leader’s role is to identify them and guide the team in addressing them. In this course, learners become aware of teams’ practical and personal needs and are introduced to six factors by which they can evaluate a team’s level of performance. Learners experience an immersive, interactive exercise in which they diagnose problems of several teams in a fictitious organization and recommend steps the teams’ leaders can take to move toward optimal team performance. Learners apply this new understanding to their workplace teams and leave the session with a plan for moving forward toward optimal team performance.

Managing Performance – 4 hour course

This course equips supervisors to turn performance management into a positive, motivating process. Participants learn to set clear expectations, monitor progress, and hold effective performance discussions that build trust and accountability. Through role‑plays, case studies, and practical tools, leaders practice giving feedback, addressing gaps, and recognizing achievements. The course emphasizes ongoing dialogue and coaching, helping supervisors create a culture where performance management drives both employee growth and organizational success.

Quality Orientation – 4 hour course

This course helps leaders and employees build a mindset of excellence by focusing on accuracy, consistency, and continuous improvement in their daily work. Participants learn how to define quality standards, identify and prevent errors, and apply problem‑solving techniques to improve processes. Through experiential learning activities such as case studies, simulations, and group discussions, they practice applying quality principles to real workplace scenarios. Practical tools and frameworks are provided to support ongoing improvement, ensuring that individuals leave with clear strategies to maintain high standards and deliver reliable results. Ultimately, the course fosters a culture where quality is not just a requirement, but a shared commitment to doing things right the first time and continuously striving for better outcomes.
