Hard-learned leadership lessons from both the military and the corporate world
Tactical Leadership Development Program
For leaders discovering that doing the work and leading the work are two very different things.
Tactical Leadership Development Program
The job changes when success is no longer measured by what you can do alone.
Moving into leadership changes more than a job title. Decisions now affect other people. Communication carries more weight. Standards have to be set, reinforced and sometimes challenged. Success increasingly depends on what the team can achieve, not simply what one person can do well.
Across eight weeks, Tactical brings together emerging leaders from different industries, roles and walks of life. Participants test ideas against different perspectives and apply what they learn to the challenges they are actually facing at work.
Through self-paced learning, facilitated group workshops and individual coaching, participants develop practical capability while examining the assumptions and habits shaping how they lead.
The aim isn't to create a particular type of leader. It's to develop people who can think, decide and carry responsibility for more than themselves.
HOW IT WORKS
8 weeks.
4 self-paced online modules.

- You believe there is nothing left for you to learn.
- You default to blaming circumstances or other people.

HOW LEADERSHIP WILL CHANGE
Leading others requires a different way of thinking.
Across the program, we explore five areas that become increasingly important when responsibility extends beyond your own work:
Understanding people
Why people behave the way they do and why assumptions about them matter.
Adapting how you lead
Different people and situations require different approaches.
Making decisions
Moving from having an opinion to carrying responsibility for the outcome.
Influencing others
Building credibility and influence without relying on authority.
Developing people
Helping others improve without doing the work for them.
