Leadership Acceleration Program
For managers who are ready for more: strategic thinking, stronger teams and decisions with wider reach.
The step from manager to leader is where many careers stall. This program prepares department heads and rising managers for that step with weekly evening sessions that fit around their work.
Participants apply every session to an action learning project: a real challenge chosen with their sponsor. They present the result to their organization at the end, which gives the sponsor a solved problem and a clear view of the participant's readiness.
Strategic Thinking
Seeing the wider picture and linking daily work to strategy.
Leading Teams
Building trust, delegating well and leading hybrid teams.
Managing Change
Planning change, handling resistance and keeping momentum.
Decision Making
Choosing well under pressure with incomplete information.
For managers named in succession plans or ready for a wider role.
- Department and section heads
- Project and operations managers
- High-potential national talent
- Managers newly promoted to lead teams
Usually 5 years of experience or more, with people management today.
