They are not paid participants unless they are also completing their own Leadership Compass workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Facilitators<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Facilitators guide participants through the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They may:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>review participant progress<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>provide feedback<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>message participants<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>respond to check-in requests<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>support guide completion<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Facilitators are support roles. They are not paid participants unless they are also completing their own Leadership Compass workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can someone be both a participant and a support role?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A person can have more than one role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>a Leader may also complete Leadership Compass as a Participant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a Champion may also be a Participant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a Facilitator may support one cohort while participating in another<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If someone is completing the pillar workflow as a Participant, they may count as a participant for pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How unlocks affect cohort setup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When creating or editing a cohort, the selected pillars determine the scope of the participant experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If only Pillar 1 is enabled, participants complete the introductory Leadership Compass experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Pillars 2\u20135 are enabled, the cohort may require additional unlocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before launching a cohort, Champions should confirm:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>which pillars are enabled<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>how many participants are included<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>whether additional pillars are unlocked<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>whether pricing has been approved<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>whether support roles are set correctly<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>whether the cohort setup matches the intended program<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How unlocks affect participants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Participants only see and complete the pillars enabled for their cohort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a pillar is not unlocked or not enabled, the participant should not be required to complete it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The participant\u2019s completion percentage should be based on enabled pillars only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>if a cohort enables only Pillar 1, completing Pillar 1 completes the active program phase<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>if a cohort enables Pillars 1\u20133, completing those three pillars completes the active program phase<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>if a cohort enables all five pillars, completing all five pillars completes the active program phase<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How unlocks affect the final guide<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Leadership Compass Guide is assembled from the participant\u2019s accepted reflections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If only Pillar 1 is completed, the guide may focus on core values, strengths, purpose, and leadership identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If all five pillars are completed, the guide may include a fuller leadership philosophy, standards, commitments, team practices, roadmap, and recommitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The more pillars a participant completes, the richer the final guide can be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How unlocks affect facilitators<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Facilitators may support both free and paid Leadership Compass experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A facilitator may help with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>reflection card review<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>participant questions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>check-in requests<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>guide preparation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>accountability follow-up<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Facilitator access does not automatically mean the facilitator is counted as a paid participant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What should Champions review before unlocking additional pillars?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before enabling paid or unlocked pillars, ask:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What outcome do we want from this cohort?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do participants need the full five-pillar guide?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How many participants are in the cohort?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are leaders or facilitators assigned?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do we have enough time for the deeper reflection work?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Has pricing been reviewed and approved?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are participants aware of the expected commitment?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recommended approaches<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Start with Pillar 1<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Use Pillar 1 when the organization wants to introduce Leadership Compass and help participants clarify their core leadership identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Unlock Pillars 2\u20133<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Use Pillars 2 and 3 when the organization wants participants to turn values into standards, commitments, rituals, and accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Unlock Pillars 4\u20135<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Use Pillars 4 and 5 when the organization wants deeper team leadership work, adaptive leadership practices, and a more complete guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use all five pillars<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Use the full five-pillar experience for a comprehensive leadership development program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Leadership Compass free to enable?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. Enabling Leadership Compass is generally free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Pillar 1 free?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pillar 1 is generally included as the starting experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are Pillars 2\u20135 free?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pillars 2\u20135 may require an unlock depending on your organization\u2019s setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are Leaders charged?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not usually. Leaders are support roles unless they are also completing Leadership Compass as Participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are Facilitators charged?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not usually. Facilitators are support roles unless they are also completing Leadership Compass as Participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can we add paid pillars later?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Possibly. Be careful if participants have already completed the original selected pillars, because adding new pillars may change expectations and completion status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can different participants have different unlocked pillars?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually pillar selection is cohort-level. If participants need different scopes, consider separate cohorts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Troubleshooting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A pillar is not available.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The pillar may not be enabled for the cohort or may not be unlocked for your organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Participants completed the free portion but cannot continue.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The next pillars may need to be unlocked before participants can proceed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pricing looks different than expected.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Check the number of participants, selected pillars, and whether support roles were accidentally included as participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A facilitator appears in the cohort but should not be charged.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Confirm that the facilitator has the Facilitator role and is not also assigned as a Participant unless they are completing the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A leader is also completing Leadership Compass.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the leader is completing the pillar workflow, they may also count as a Participant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best practices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Confirm selected pillars before launch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Review pricing before enabling Pillars 2\u20135.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep support roles separate from participant roles unless someone is doing both.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use separate cohorts when groups need different pillar scopes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid changing unlocks after participants have started.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Communicate clearly with participants about the expected scope.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Start with Pillar 1 when introducing Leadership Compass for the first time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Pricing and unlocks help match the Leadership Compass experience to the organization\u2019s goals, budget, and desired level of leadership development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leadership Compass can include both free and paid portions depending on your organization\u2019s setup.
