Leading Leaders
Shaping the Future
This path is for experienced leaders who now carry responsibility for other managers, not just their own team. The work shifts, you spend less time managing day-to-day delivery and more time shaping direction, coaching leaders, and tending to the culture that quietly shapes everything. Your impact can feel less visible, but in most cases, it’s actually far wider.
Sample Course: The Multiplier Effect: How to Lead Leaders
The Leader as Coach
Topics →
At this level, leading isn’t just about you anymore. Your job is to grow other leaders who can lead well without you in the room. We’ll help you move from manager to meta-coach, which sounds lofty but mostly means sharpening your judgment, asking better questions, and getting better at spotting potential in real people, not just on paper. The aim is to build future leaders, not just keep today’s machine running.
Activity →
A hands-on case study where you wrestle with a messy team development challenge and try to solve it through coaching rather than telling people what to do.
Learning Outcomes →
- Ask coaching questions that actually make your managers stop and think, instead of just nodding along.
- Run a talent review that surfaces real potential, not just the usual high performers.
- Shift from directing work to developing capability across your team, even when it feels slower at first.
Strategic Leader
From Vision to Reality
Topics →
You need to lift your eyes from your own team and take in the bigger picture. We’ll make strategy practical, less jargon, more reality and help you connect the company’s vision to what your teams are actually doing on Monday morning. You’ll practice thinking critically, working with data in a grounded way, and making calls you can defend.
Activity →
An interactive business simulation where you make real strategic choices, trade things off, and live with the consequences.
Learning Outcomes →
- Turn the organisation’s strategy into a clear, motivating plan for your own department, not a copy-paste from head office.
- Use data and key metrics to tell a story that makes sense, rather than just reporting numbers.
- Explain plainly how your department’s work connects to the success of the wider business.
Leading Through Change with Heart & Clarity
Topics →
Change doesn’t really “end” in most organisations, it just takes different forms. This learning lap focuses on leading people through uncertainty with honesty, consistency, and a bit of humanity. You’ll learn how to visibly champion your culture while handling resistance in a way that feels real, not rehearsed.
Activity →
Build a practical, human-centred change communication plan based on a realistic business scenario, not a textbook one.
Learning Outcomes →
- Create a communication plan that is clear, but also genuinely empathetic.
- Live out and actively champion your desired company culture in how you lead your managers.
- Anticipate the struggles your managers are likely to face and support them through the transition, rather than assuming they’ll “just handle it.”
Expanding Your Influence
Topics →
Strong senior leaders tend to connect people rather than operate in silos. We’ll focus on influencing with integrity across the organisation, especially in situations where your formal authority only goes so far. You’ll work on navigating tricky stakeholder relationships, building alliances, and presenting your perspective with confidence, even when the room is tough.
Activity →
A peer-coaching clinic where you bring a real cross-functional influencing challenge from your own work and workshop it with others.
Learning Outcomes →
- Map and intentionally build relationships with key stakeholders who actually matter to your goals.
- Form strong, collaborative partnerships with leaders across different parts of the business.
- Present your ideas to senior executives with a clear, confident narrative that feels like you, not a template.
