Who is the program for?
In-house delivery format
Whilst the program generates exceptional outcomes across wide ranging levels of management it is primarily designed for optimal impact at two levels:
• Emerging and high potential women managers seeking to fast track their leadership development.
• Existing mid-level women managers seeking to accelerate their management performance as well- equipped and competent leaders.
Most cohorts will include a limited number of established senior women managers seeking a more rounded understanding of the behavioural dynamics of effective leadership and their own capacity for leadership excellence.
In-house delivery formats of the Accelerated Leadership Performance Program are available for early career, mid-level and senior/executive management teams.
The In-house format is extremely effective for organisations seeking to unlock higher levels of performance and shared focus across teams.
For more information on the In-house Accelerated Leadership Performance Program please contact the Australian School of Applied Management directly.
Program Methodology
Informed by the globally respected principles of applied and accelerated learning, the focus on practical knowledge, preparation and self- directed real world application generate the success oriented behaviours, self-belief and emotional agility required for leadership excellence at all levels.
The six week Accelerated Learning Phase of the program interweaves intensive workshops and short projects that prepare students to rapidly actualise learnings and insights as real world success-oriented behaviours.
The 12 week Action, Reflection & Mastery Phase of the program sees participants take full accountability for their progress and their performance as a leader. The blended focus of Action, Reflection & Mastery Workshops and Action Planning Projects see participants unlock a decisive, success-oriented mindset, underpinned by frequent reflection and planning.
