Personal Leadership & Team Development

Leadership in Action: Observe, Experience & Overcome Challenges

A fully immersive and experiential program that condenses years of leadership experience into a few days using a holistic approach to professional and personal development.

Overview

It can take a decade of experience in the field for a manager to acquire the knowledge to lead an organization effectively. Thanks to insights from senior leaders who, in a critical piece of our research, answered the question “what do I know now that I wish I had known 10 years ago,” you can speed through the leadership learning curve. At the heart of this program is the immersive simulation, allowing you to experience the critical, pivotal incidents that the research uncovered. You will assess your readiness for significant leadership events and prepare for the challenges that you are likely to encounter in a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous future.

Is this program for you?

This is an immersive and fully experiential program based on extensive and rigorous Ashridge research that draws on cardio-neuroscience on heart rate learning effectiveness zones. This is coupled with insights from senior leaders about the core leadership behaviors they have acquired. This program is for senior managers and high-potential executives on a rapid career trajectory, as well as specialists with some management experience and on a fast-track toward greater leadership responsibilities.
