What makes this program unique?

The combination of four major elements:

• Personal and unique learning goals for each leader take into account their existing skills and experience.
• The use of Leadership Syndicates are utilised where leaders can learn in the context of the organisation, from their fellow leaders, in ways best suited to their own needs.
• Your organisation gets a direct benefit through the leader’s objectives being tied to those of the organisation.
• Significant progress is made in a short time.

How does the program start?

On the first day, each leader creates their own development program, which they will follow for the next six months.

What happens after that?

During the next six months, the leaders then learn from each other in facilitated Leadership Syndicates.

How long does the program run?

The suggested program length is six months, with four contact days in total:

• one full day at the beginning
• four half days, run at monthly intervals
• one full day at the end.

This sequence can be tailored as required, but the intervals are designed to allow you to put your new leadership skills into practise and return with specific queries on how to make process improvements along the way.

Is there any 'homework'?

Yes, but not much! Each leader will follow a workbook which guides them through a process to identify and test their authentic leadership style.

How is the program evaluated?

Each leader’s development program includes objectives of value to the leader, the syndicate and the organisation. On the last day, the group will review how each leader benefited from understanding their authentic leadership style, how their development contributed towards their objectives, and how they intend to build on that.

Does the organisation get any other benefits?

Yes, being so integrated tends to assist retention of senior staff.

Do leaders get any other benefits?

Yes, other benefits include:

• becoming part of a much closer linked team
• getting to understand others’ authentic leadership styles
• becoming a coach and mentor for other leaders of their syndicate
• obtaining additional learning through being engaged as others explore their development topics
  • It is common for leaders to bring a particularly difficult issue to the syndicate, to work through before addressing it in real life
  • Many leaders note that they “feel better” and more confident after a syndicate meeting

What academic checks have been used to assess the course?

The program has been tied to academic research and the course design has been assessed as part of a Master’s degree at Sussex University, UK.

How many leaders do you need to run the program?

Minimum of six, but larger groups can offer a better experience.

Can the program be further customised?

Yes. The program description above is the suggested way for the program to run, but changes can be made for your particular requirements.

How much does the program cost?

The corporate rate is $450 (plus GST) per leader per contact day. This is equivalent to $1,800 (plus GST) per leader for the program.

For example, for a course with eight leaders, the price would be $14,400 (plus GST).

This price includes all materials and facilitation, but excludes accommodation and refreshments, which can be arranged for an additional charge.

A discounted rate is offered for not-for-profit organisations, including government.
