Scaling Leadership Program
“Effective leaders out-perform ineffective leaders, every time”
The Scaling Leadership Program unleashes the unrealised leadership potential distributed across the organisation. In the interconnected and interdependent world of work, everyone, everywhere, all the time must lead. Scaling leadership inspires leaders and team members to think and interact in new ways to create a leadership culture that is the ultimate competitive advantage.
Organisations that scale leadership benefit by:
developing a deeper quality of and diversity in their leadership bench strength
enabling succession by having the right leaders at the right time
enhancing the employment experience by all being able to realise their potential
retaining and attracting the quality of talent needed to succeed
creating a motivated environment where all are able to become more of their best
To scale leadership, learning needs to focus on the ‘whole leader' so they develop greater agility, resilience, and adaptability in leading through uncertainty and change.
The Scaling Leadership Program develops leadership capacity and capability by addressing the 3 leadership tenets:
Tenet 1: RELEVANCE – to inspire with purpose and have greater fulfilment and impact.
Tenet 2: RELATIONSHIPS – to rise on the quality of their working relationships
Tenet 3: RESULTS – to secure others' cooperation and commitment to do great work
Optional Virtual Masterclasses (virtual or in person)
How to discuss the undiscussables
Conversations are the lifeblood of effective working relationships.
What is and is not said in conversations, how it is said and how it is listened to, are crucial for how efficiently and effectively leaders and teams perform. The quality of the conversational networks is a major determinant of the team’s morale, performance and productivity.
Conversations which do not generate new insights, innovative practices, effective actions and positive results are unproductive; they create and perpetuate costly communication breakdowns and waste.
The “Discussing the undiscussables’ workshop helps leaders to:
Understand why they get stuck in difficult conversations
Design conversations that promote learning and commitment to action
State their views in ways others are held with respect and legitimacy
Ask questions that shift others’ perspectives and moves things forward
Confidently and constructively manage discussing the undiscussable

How to coordinate action
The essence of work is about coordinating action – it’s about securing others’ cooperation and commitment to get done what is needed. Work is about making requests and managing commitments.
On average, how many requests do you make of others and others of you a day? Anything from 50 plus, is typical. More important than the number of requests, is to reflect on what percentage of your requests are effectively met? Most leaders say between 50-60% of the time.
Imagine the consequences of 40-50% of requests not being satisfactorily met – the costs associated with the wasted time and effort of having to repeat the request and others redo the work.
A ‘sloppy request’ will always get a ‘slippery commitment’.

How to lead in uncertainty
Not accepting the normality of uncertainty invites we live in greater fear and anxiety. Accepting the normality of uncertainty opens us up to a world of possibilities. This is not to say things get easier, they just become more possible.
As we ride life’s continuous ‘waves of uncertainty’, our greatest opportunity is to replace our fear with courage and uncertainty with confidence.
Courage is about leaning into what is possible, despite the challenges and difficulties that exist. Confidence is not about the lack of fear, but the triumph over it.
The “Leading in Uncertainty” workshop helps leaders to:
Understand why we get stuck in fear and anxiety in times of uncertainty
Shift your state to accept what you cannot change
Develop greater confidence and courage to see things differently to access new possibilities
Avoid burnout by focusing your energy and attention to what you can influence and change
