The Action Learning Leadership Development Program

OVERVIEW:

This unique action learning program combines individual and organisational development by teaching participants a variety of core leadership capabilities and then helping participants apply them immediately to their real life projects. As an exercise in leadership development, we help participants develop skills and tools in four core leadership capabilities: vision and strategy, people leadership, leading change, and organisational architecture. As an exercise in action learning, we coach participants in the application of these new ideas, skills, and tools to their real life projects. This powerful combination results in both sustainable leadership development and coaching on projects that are important to your organisation. Your managers are working on important projects anyway; this program will turn these projects into leadership development opportunities! Make your leadership development real by combining it with real projects in real time.
