Leadership Excellence (LX) Program

Introduction

The LX Program is our signature leadership development program that develops excellence in human-centred leadership. Further, the program develops the capability and confidence to lead effectively and, importantly, to do it in a way that creates and sustains performance and a healthy team and culture. It is typically a four-module program, with each module generally consisting of two half-days. A fifth and optional module integrates the learnings and also builds the capacity for program participants to be resilient in the face of ever-increasing complex and demanding environments.

Program Principles

According to research - and elegantly articulated by Brené Brown - 'Who we are is how we lead.' The LX Program, therefore, begins with the Leading Self module and then moves 'outward' to Leading Teams, Leading People and Leading the Organisation. The Human-Centred LX Program Model (below) highlights the key areas for each module in terms of the key mindset, behaviour and result that can be expected. For example, for the Leading Self module, the key areas are personal accountability (mindset), authentic and vulnerable (behaviour) and personal mastery (result).

Supporting Participants

The LX Program features a number of mechanisms to support learning and the application to their respective roles, including:

1. 1.Pre and post-work (i.e. articles; reflection questions, surveys, etc.);
2. 2.An online habit-builder to support creating real change from what has been learned;
3. 3.Full workbooks and resources;
4. 4.Experienced facilitators;
5. 5.Options such as coaching, peer-to-peer learning, and webinars.
