Description

In a nutshell

An immersive, blended learning experience which develops first-time managers into high-impact leaders.

The curriculum is based around seven core masterclasses that give new managers the fundamentals to become effective leaders in the organisation.

Delivered either in person or remotely by our world-class faculty of seasoned practitioners, the content is continually evolving, drawing on the latest thinking and insights that feed into our Leadership Generator.

Participants remain supported beyond the programme, with access to tools, resources and our community of pioneers to ensure learning leads to meaningful impact.

Praise for this experience
1 of 1
  • Carlo & Lola led these sessions extremely well, allowing for people to share their thoughts openly and really creating a "safe space" where we felt we could be honest. I've learnt a lot about my colleagues throughout these sessions. Notwithstanding the actual content of the sessions (which even after 4 years of business school there's been some new gems I've learned), the knowledge that we're not alone with our issues at work and can approach them together in cross-team collaboration has been the biggest takeaway from the programme so far.
