Giving senior executives the leading edge

Leaders face a continuous barrage of prescriptions – books, talks and programmes urge them to develop visions, listen to their teams, stay the course in hard times, and communicate. Most leaders know this. Few report that this ‘knowledge’ solves their problems. 

Leadership Excellence through Awareness and Practice (LEAP) helps senior leaders bridge this gap. The six-month training – comprising three residential modules and individual and group work in between – focuses less on telling leaders what to do differently; instead, it helps them explore how they can be different to the benefit of themselves, their teams, and their organisations.

Indeed, much of the time on the programme is spent enabling participants to shift behaviour in the areas that would give their leadership the greatest leverage.

Key learning concepts in the programme curriculum

The LEAP programme facilitates transformative senior executive leadership development through four key steps:
Awareness: LEAP fosters deep self-awareness, behaviour, thoughts, and your impact on others.
Intention: By setting sincere intentions, LEAP raises the likelihood of successful behavioural change. 
(Overcoming) Interference: Using cognitive behavioural techniques, LEAP equips participants with strategies to identify and overcome obstacles.
Practice: LEAP's modular structure facilitates repeated practice of desired behaviours until they become habitual.
LEAP addresses change across organisational, interpersonal, and intrapersonal levels. It explores diverse questions tailored to each level, promoting holistic development.
