For organisations

A leadership pathway that ends in purpose.

Your leaders are busy, but the things that matter aren’t moving. You’re the one pushing every change. Your leaders manage, they don’t lead. You don’t have an execution problem. You have a purpose problem.

Belief can’t be pushed from the top. It grows when each leader knows their own purpose and can see it in the organisation’s. Then change moves. The result is leaders who are all in: you get more from every leader you have, and keep your best when the market turns.

Two kinds of growth

Most leadership programs add to what leaders can do: horizontal growth. The Leadership Pathway has a dual focus. It builds leadership skill, and it grows awareness and wisdom: vertical growth. That is what takes leaders beyond managing to leading the change.

LEADING CHANGE Leading for organisational vision, strategy and transformation MANAGING Leading in the day to day 1 2 3 Foundations In Action For Legacy HORIZONTAL: WHAT THEY CAN DO VERTICAL: WHAT THEY CAN SEE

Horizontal growth

New skills, knowledge and tools. The focus of most leadership programs.

Vertical growth

Maturity and wisdom: a wider aperture of awareness, and the ability to see the bigger system and weave together the threads that create the change you want.

The Leadership Pathway

Three levels

Three levels take your leaders from essential skills to purpose-driven, legacy-minded leadership. Each level stands on its own. Together they are one journey.

  1. Level 1

    1 day · in person

    Mostly horizontal

    Leadership Foundations

    For every leader, new or experienced.

    The critical capabilities every leader needs for high performance: managing performance, giving high-quality feedback, communication, mindset and psychological safety. In one experiential day.

    Leaders leave with tools they can use the next day, and a first shift in how they see their own leadership.

  2. Level 2

    4 months · 1 intensive plus 4 masterclasses

    Both, horizontal and vertical

    Leadership in Action

    For any leader ready to work with the whole system.

    How work flows through a team and between teams, what to measure, and how to lift the whole system toward high performance. Leaders also see their own leadership as others experience it.

    Leaders leave with the ability to read and improve the human system they lead, for results and for wellbeing.

  3. Level 3

    8 months · 1 intensive, 4 masterclasses and 4 one-on-ones

    Mostly vertical

    Leadership for Legacy

    For senior leaders who have completed Levels 1 and 2.

    The advanced level. Leaders find their own purpose and connect it to the organisation’s, shape the legacy they intend to leave, and grow in wisdom and complexity of mind.

    Leaders leave with clarity of purpose, greater capability for impact, and the capacity to hold competing demands in tension while driving powerful organisational change.
