Experience shows that getting a good start is essential. Even before you embark on your new job, everybody in your new company or department is wondering about your leadership style, your tone and your first move. The first impressions about who you are and how you will lead will define their attitudes unless you provide your team with the real you early on.

With this Executive Program we help you and your team to work as one ensuring that the culture, the told and untold ways of doing things and your leadership style are understood and embraced in the very first weeks of your appointment. It will help you listen to what matters and interpret and understand it before you act. Aligned, you and your team will learn to focus on the right strategic priorities and drive success as one.

Having gone through the leader integration program, you will have:

• Discovered how to listen to and inspire your new team.
• Asked the right questions and got to know your business better.
• Reflected on your leadership style and adapted it to get the best out of your team.
• Identified main strategic priorities and ensured the leadership team support.
• Agreed resources and secured top talent to make it happen.
• Defined tracking tools to keep success on track.

This Executive Program is conceived in two parts with you and your direct reports, and is designed to help you to take charge of your job, of your team and the right strategy effectively and rapidly.

The first part is focused on the Leader-Team cohesion. This one-day workshop should take place within the first 3 weeks of announcement of your appointment. Through an open and frank exchange, aided by our experienced facilitators, you and your team learn to know each other, confirm expectations and define the type of the relationship you wish to create.

Within the first 3 months of your appointment you and your leadership team will focus on the strategic priorities of the business in a two-day off-site meeting. Having worked out how to speak with one voice, your leadership team is now ready to align on the strategy that will guide your efforts over the next 3 to 5 years, identify the key must-win battles, resources and accountabilities as well as how those will be communicated throughout the organisation.

Throughout and after the program our executive coaches accompany you through your leadership discovery: your purpose, values and vision, the way you are perceived by others and how to align them.

Only with that self-knowledge can you apply and enhance your new leadership practice, your real and credible you.

This Executive Program is highly interactive, based on exercises, role plays, case studies, video clips, pitches, storytelling and discussions for an effective idea transfer and retention.

It encourages participants to understand various aspects of their personality and thus helps individual discovery and self-realization.

At the end of program, the participants are facilitated to tap their enhanced energy and motivation and translate it into results.

This structured two-part workshop is ideal for you if you are about to change the department, a business unit or a company and if you manage a team

This Executive Program is recommended and designed for C-level executives, business unit or departmental heads who are seasoned executives and hold significant leadership roles in their organisations, and those who have direct P&L responsibility. Your direct reports’ attendance is mandatory for the success of the program.

All teams leave this program with specific tools and frameworks that they immediately apply as well as agreed-upon set of strategic priorities to make a significant impact within their organizations.
