OPERATIONAL LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

For senior leaders tackling scale, strategy, and complexity.


You’ll sharpen your ability to align people with strategy, manage conflict without draining momentum, and make decisions that carry weight. 

OPERATIONAL LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

As you work through four self-paced, online modules, we’ll apply the theory you learn to your specific situation during fortnightly group workshops.

The program is conducted over eight weeks and includes four online modules, four online group workshops and four individual coaching sessions. This allows you to discuss your individual challenges and successes in relation to each module with the group and your coach. 

This leadership development program is NOT for you if:

  • You would rather follow the easy path than make the effort required to level up
  • You have no interest in learning because there is nothing more for you to learn
  • You blame others for your circumstances despite the situation
  • You are unable to leave your ego at the door
  • You are unwilling to invest in your future
