BUILD IN ONE YEAR WHAT FIVE WILL NOT
EDGE accelerates the development of high-potential talent by running Fortune 500 rigor with deep Christian formation. Every participant is measured at intake and at close on instruments EDGE does not score. If the growth does not happen, you do not pay.
Regrettable departures.
Roles filled from outside at a premium by people who underperform for two years.
Accounts that leave when the person managing them does.
The question is not whether to spend on this leader. It is whether the spend you are already making is buying anything.
THE IMPACT OF A HIGH-OUTPUT LEADER
EDGE is a twelve-month program that accelerates high-potential talent already leading people. It runs the same assessment instruments used across the Fortune 500 through Christian formation that is structural to every module. That combination is the point: what comes out is a leader who produces high-output results along with a formational personal life.
A ready successor.
Someone you can hand real authority to, rather than someone you are hoping grows into it.
Lower regrettable turnover.
People stay for leaders they trust. The median cost of replacing an employee is on average 21% of annual salary.
More seats filled internally.
External hires cost 18 to 20 percent more for the same role, plus a search fee of roughly a third of first-year compensation, and they perform worse for two years.
Accounts that stay and grow.
A five-point reduction in customer defections moves profit 25 to 85 percent, depending on industry.
THE FOUNDATION OF EDGE
EDGE Mentoring was founded in 2007 and spent nearly two decades forming young professionals through mentoring groups. The curriculum was built with Medallion Partners, whose practice supplies the same certified instruments used across Fortune 500 companies. Every participant is measured at intake and again at close by people who do not work for us.
What is new here is the model, not the mission.
