Strategic Action Leadership Program
Comprehensive 12-module program

Developing current and future leaders
is an organisation's most strategic and important responsibility.

THE CASE:

The McKinsey study entitled "War for Talent" found that firms with leadership depth were much more profitable than those without it. And yet, one recent study found that only 54% of companies felt they had the leadership necessary to respond to change, and only 8% of executives rated overall leadership as excellent. The fact is, organisations need more people with their eye on the big picture, taking initiative, and producing results. iLEAD teaches people how to produce results for their team and organisation by giving people the training and tools they need to produce and sustain those results successfully.

OVERVIEW:

This comprehensive leadership and organisational development program, offered in twelve half-day modules, focuses on four key leadership capabilities: vision & strategy, people leadership, transformational leadership, and organisational architecture. This program is action oriented and results-based, and combines cutting edge ideas and intellectual rigor with skill development, development of emotional intelligence, practical tools, self-development profiles, and action learning projects. The program involves classroom learning, team projects, and debriefings, and is guaranteed to develop the leadership capabilities of the participants AND generate real business results for your organisation. This is leadership development for the real world.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:

This program is offered in both a public (open enrollment) and customized program format, and is designed for your organisation's current and future leaders: your high potential managers and executives.
