High Impact
Leadership Development
In-Person | Tuesday 18 June 2024
London, UK
9.00 – 16.00
Event
In spite of the vast sums spent on leadership education, impactful leadership development is still relatively rare; even though we understand a lot about how adults learn, we still struggle to practically apply this to how we develop future leaders. In this practical workshop, we will focus on how organisations can bring the theory to life to develop leaders ready to address future business challenges.
Learning Objectives
- Revisit the principles of adult learning and consider how we can apply them to achieve better outcomes for leadership development.
- Understand the components of effective leadership development and identify the barriers that get in the way of success.
- Through case studies and a hands-on business simulation experience, develop alternative strategies for leadership development.
- Challenge ourselves and each other to improve the outcomes of investment in this area.
Who is this event for?
HRDs and leadership and learning professionals with responsibility for developing future leaders in their organisation.

5 Golden Rules of Successfully Delivering High-Impact Leadership Development Programmes
FULLY BOOKED
What is the point of investing your time, effort and money in a development programme across your organisation if it has no real impact?
In this masterclass, co-hosted by Mike Straw (Achieve Breakthrough) and Eliza Gheorghe (Pandora), two of the architects of one of our most impactful, award-winning global L&D programmes, you will learn what you need to get right to deliver high-impact leadership programmes across your entire organisation successfully.
We’ll take the typical challenges faced by organisation-wide L&D programmes and show you how, if you get it wrong, you can risk wasting money, delivering no impact and ending up with a team more disenfranchised than when you started. But, if you get these 5 key things right, you can deliver a highly impactful programme across your entire organisation and empower your people to own the change with you.
Measuring Impactful Leadership through Team Engagement, Productivity, and Performance
FULLY BOOKED
Achieving impactful leadership can be thought of as climbing a mountain; knowledge is ‘Base Camp 1’ and awareness of interpersonal skills is ‘Base Camp 2’.
To reach the peak of the mountain means acquiring and implementing skills that make a tangible difference to teams’ and key stakeholders’ results. In this session, we look at a real-life, blended solution for a client that led to their leaders moving from ‘Base Camp 2’ to their peak. The solution was heavily focused on application through practising skills in relevant business scenarios which participants related to in their organisation. Leaders and sponsors reported an increased capability in applied skills in their day-to-day work.
Neglected Acts of Leadership
FULLY BOOKED
Since the COVID-19 pandemic we have observed the leaders we work with around the globe are living more hectic and fragmented lives than ever before, with concerning consequences. In the midst of crammed diaries, complex decisions, hybrid working, exponential growth in data, disruptive change and a volatile global environment, certain essential acts of leadership were going missing.
These neglected acts of leadership have nothing to do with negligence. In our extensive work with leaders, we’ve noticed a pattern of neglect happening at the same time as people are working harder and at higher intensity than ever before.
We are not implying that leaders are not diligent or advocating that leaders need to do more. We do want to champion the idea of pausing, noticing and refocusing on fundamental aspects of leadership that transcend specific situations or styles. It’s about building a solid foundation for leadership that allows for adaptation and growth. Through focusing on:
- Thinking time
- Building trust
- Time for self
Join us to acknowledge and explore how to overcome these neglected acts of leadership to create the conditions for yourself and those around you to thrive.
