Cultivate a high-impact mindset

Senior leaders hone their skillset through experience and hard work, but often develop a personal narrative which masks their full potential. The High Performance Leadership programme takes you on a deep dive into self-awareness, breaking down the barriers that have been holding you back and elevating your expectation of what is possible. Through experimentation, self-examination and reflection you will expand your leadership mindset and explore new skills, new attitudes, and new ways of being as a leader. This evolution in your leadership journey brings into focus your intention, purpose and values, and propels you forward with confidence and self-belief. You will learn how to leverage your strengths and trust in your soft skills to become a powerful enabler, facilitator and orchestrator as you develop new leadership perspectives. You will examine yourself through holistic models and frameworks, uncover hidden aspects of your leadership capability, and identify and address unhelpful behaviours and beliefs. As you explore your past challenges and successes, you will achieve a deep understanding of yourself and an awareness of what is holding you back, what you can let go of, what stands in your way, and what is inspiring you to become an exceptional leader.

Who should attend Directors and senior managers aspiring to C-level who:

• Have mastered business fundamentals and are ready to develop their full leadership potential, • Recognise they can step away from reliance on expertise to explore a new leadership identity, • Want to evaluate their current strategies and experiment with new ways of leading.

What you will learn The High Performance Leadership programme will develop your mindset by exploring your beliefs and challenging you to appraise how they serve you. Through guided self-reflection you will bring invisible obstacles into focus, and examine how established thoughts and behaviours may be either enhancing or inhibiting your performance. You will: • Develop a deeper understanding of who you are as a leader, where your brilliance lies and where you hold yourself back, • Gain improved agility in your leadership behaviours and practices to meet unplanned challenges, • Be ready to embrace change and uncertainty, and feel comfortable with ambiguity, • Refresh your interpersonal communication skills and attitudes, that lie at the heart of high performance leadership, • Build strong engagement and trust with all your stakeholders through listening and empathy, • Feel more confident and self-assured in your leadership abilities.

“It’s been a rollercoaster of enlightenment, learning and enrichment both professionally and personally. I’ve learned to refine my leadership style, and that’s going to empower my team.” Mark Evans Business Director EMEA, INOLEX GmbH

Programme structure

The programme is designed to deepen your awareness of your own context within your emerging business environment, and you will develop insight into how you inhabit your own role in a dynamic way. Spread over six months, with two residential modules at Cranfield campus and inter-modular activities, the programme is evidence-based and incorporates advanced leadership models, extensive coaching opportunities and a personal leadership impact assignment. Both modules fully engage your mind, body and heart in an experience that is designed to be challenging, but also incredibly supportive.

Programme experience tailored to you

Your context and challenges are unique. As you begin to apply your learnings, your experience and the value that you gain will naturally be tailored to you.

Your journey will focus on two integrated and connected paths; you as a leader, and your organisational leadership context.

You as a leader Doing, being, thinking • Going beyond the emphasis on ‘doing’ to encompass how you show up in your leadership role, the shadow you cast and how you think more widely and strategically when making decisions. Cerebral, emotional and visceral • Work on yourself. Access a deeper level of awareness of how you can strengthen your emotional, social, and political intelligence so that you convey authenticity in your leadership approach.

Your organisational context Understand and explore the dynamics of your leadership context, and how you integrate, shape and influence that context. Consider potential challenges and how you can navigate your organisational context effectively and successfully.
