Accelerate Program

A critical component of your entire journey. This stage requires you to undertake online diagnostic surveys. But these are more than a basic personality quiz, they are powerful tools that will set you up for success.

Module 1 – Leadership vision and clarity and The Influential Leader
Let’s start by diving deep into your world view, unconscious biases, your current situation and your aspirations. How did you get to where you are now? What sort of a leader do you want to be? We do this by debriefing on the results of your diagnostic prework.

Having faced your journey to date, we now look at the importance of emotional intelligence and how influential leaders make results happen.

Module 2 – Aligning people and strategy and Adaptive Leadership
Let’s get clear on a leader's role in business strategy so that you can implement your organisation’s vision, mission, and values. Here we equip you with tools to enable you to determine critical business success factors, goals and objectives. We then move onto communication tools and theories so that you can better engage staff, build cohesive teams and foster a culture of information exchange.

Module 3 – Attracting and nurturing talent and leading and motivating teams
We now move onto leading your team. It is critical for leaders to strategically plan for talent succession and career management and have a comprehensive process for recruitment and selection. Here, we equip you with the skills to manage conflict, motivate high performance, build a strong culture, encourage long term commitment and support individual aspirations.

Module 4 – Leading innovation and the Influential Change Leader
Most leaders want to foster an environment that promotes creativity and innovation. In this module, we show you how. More importantly, we show you how to manage creativity so that it produces valuable and practical outcomes. You will then be empowered with the skills necessary to manage change – a cornerstone of contemporary business and leadership.

Module 5 – Focus on results and creating and leading your future
What are you measuring and why? In this session we look at leading and lagging indicators and challenge your ideas about where results flow from. We now also come full circle to look at the impact that your leadership decisions and actions have on performance. We'll create three workplace experiments unique to your role and your business so that you can put into practice everything you've learnt in a practical and meaningful way.
