Too often, leadership programmes are packed with theories, models and corporate jargon that sound impressive in a presentation but are difficult to apply when you are back at your desk, managing real people and dealing with real situations.
Putting the Lead into Leadership takes a different approach.
The programme focuses on the things leaders actually face every day: having difficult conversations, giving feedback, building confidence, communicating effectively, delegating, developing people, managing change and getting the best from their teams.
Rather than sitting through a two-day course and returning to work with a folder full of notes, leaders work through seven practical sessions over seven months. This gives them time to reflect, try things out, learn from their experiences and bring real leadership challenges back into the programme.
The sessions are interactive, practical and built around real-world leadership, using relatable examples, simple explanations and memorable analogies to make leadership concepts easier to understand and, more importantly, easier to use.
There is no need for complicated terminology or theories that require a PhD to decipher.
The aim is simple:
Understand it. Try it. Learn from it. Make it part of how you lead.
Because effective leadership is not about knowing every leadership model. It is about what you do when you are actually leading people.
You wouldn't show someone once how to drive by getting them to watch you once and then expect them to be able to drive confidently and proficiently. Instead sessions spread across a couple of months in order for that person to consolidate the knowledge, to practise regularly.
However, many organisations show and tell something once, then two months down the line expect them to do it for the first time and wonder why they struggle! The same concept applies to training. It's not "I've shown you once, so off you go and drive." This is where this programme is different!
Each session focuses on an essential area of leadership development, giving participants the opportunity to put their learning into practice between sessions rather than trying to absorb everything in one intensive course.
By spreading the programme over seven months, leadership development becomes part of the working environment rather than something that happens for a couple of days and is quickly forgotten.
Putting the Lead into Leadership is designed to help leaders become more confident, capable and consistent in the way they lead – with practical skills they can start using the very next day.
Putting the Lead into Leadership is different. Blending real-world leadership lessons with the relatable analogies and key takeaways, this programme breaks down what it really takes to lead effectively, without the corporate nonsense.
