In the mind of a great leader: Executive Education Series
Leadership Sense making and reasoning are not entirely cerebral (IQ), we think with our heads but also our emotions and bodies (EQ) and our spirits, pursuits, endeavors, hopes, our sense of meaning and value (SQ).
Alignment of leadership IQ, EQ and SQ is required to thrive and survive in uncertainty and creatively realise the full potential of those around us.

Market volatility, digital transformation, and innovation are changing the way organisations survive and thrive in every industry.

For Organisations
Conscious Leadership in Modern Business (CLIMB) Project
Conscious Leadership in Modern Business Project is aimed at developing leadership capability but more importantly capacity.
The program consists of 10 modules (which you can choose from the list of 12 modules below under Program Details) that are designed to shape and strengthen the Healthy, Efficient and Improvement culture of any organisation. Given that culture and leadership are inextricably linked, a culture where social health of the individuals and the groups are overlooked is more likely to provide an anaemic output in both efficiencies and improvement endeavours.

1. Adaptive Leadership and Business Performance:
Navigating Complexity by Leveraging Social Capital.

For New Leaders
Supervisor Development
Supervisors have the unique opportunity to influence and inspire those who work with them and enable on time, on budget and sustainable outcomes.
Traditionally, supervisors are promoted in their roles due to their expert technical performance and experience. As an individual contributor, they have mastered the technical skills of their job. However, taking on a role of a supervisor and to be successful requires different skills, abilities, and knowledge. In this program, new and experienced technical supervisors will learn to effectively navigate the transition into a supervisory role.
Program Details
Many supervisors find it difficult to transition from the role of individual contributor to a leadership role. Some of the common speed bumps they experience along that journey are – dealing with different personalities with unique mindsets, expectations, demands, challenges, motives and learning capacities. This is further compounded by the psychological need to belong to the group and the same time demonstrate competence to the senior leadership of ‘holding the fort’. In the absence of formal development, the leap can sometimes be intimidating. The development program is designed to enhance the following aspects for the individuals in a supervisory role:
- Enhancing performance of self through strengthening emotional intelligence.
- Managing the work of high performing teams.
- Strengthening personal and team resilience.
- Communicating to improve buy-in and influence mindsets.
- Using coaching techniques to improve feedback practice.
- Dealing with difference in opinions.
- Managing challenging behaviours.
- Delivering high impact and brain friendly meetings.
- Create your personal development plan for making a successful transition from an individual contributor to a supervisor.

Executive and Senior Leaders
Community of Practice (COP)
Up until recently, confident decision-making and strong problem-solving skills were the top celebrated skills of leaders backed up with a certain amount of experience and knowledge.
However, leaders operating in the current dynamic and disruptive environments can no longer only rely upon their prior knowledge and experiences to make decisions from the given alternatives. The ability to make meaning, or sense, becomes the hidden superpower of the modern-day executives and leaders that will shape and move the organisations forward.
Program Details
COP is a leadership sensemaking series for Adaptive Leaders faced with Adaptive challenges. Sensemaking is needed most when we are facing adaptive challenges. Adaptive challenges occur when our environment is presenting us with surprises, which require a response outside of our existing repertoire. Leaders who are strong in sensemaking know how to quickly capture the complexities of their environment and clearly articulate with others in simple terms in resolving the Adaptive challenges.
During the series, leaders are guided to identify and articulate adaptive challenges within their current and future projects, make sense of them, and explore ways to experiment and identify a way forward. Sensemaking will enable the leaders to translate the unknown, chaotic, and complex into something that can be understood and explained, while also driving shared action of operating in an effective matrix framework.
