Most company leaders know they have a critical impact on their company’s culture. Many struggle with the ‘maybe it is my fault’ belief. Unfortunately this usually leads to anxiety and reduced leadership confidence, with little benefit in terms of improved culture and company growth.

Leaders work together to learn how to build and enhance company culture and how their own behaviour builds or destroys value in their business and promotes or inhibits growth.

The program provides tools for the your future use, and includes a business simulation where leaders work together under pressure to develop a new business idea, attract talented staff and promote their business to the media.

What will the program give me?

The opportunity to step outside my business and view it with a new perspective and clarity
Understanding about my own personal values, and how these impact my business values and my interaction with others
Skills in developing a business culture and greater understanding on how I can influence my business’ culture
Ability to recognise behaviours that create value and those that do harm in my business
How I can influence the retention of my best employees

A follow-up 1 hour 1-to-1 executive coaching session is included in the program.

Who should attend?

CEOs / GMs of established companies wanting to refresh / redirect their company culture
CEOs / GMs of fast growth companies wanting to create the right culture to sustain growth and innovation
Senior Executives / Divisional Managers of large companies
