Highly talented organizations have a greater concentration of talented people whose levels of education, skill, ability, and influence are substantially above average. It is challenging to lead top talent in the modern corporate world.

One who possesses the ability to lead other leaders will have the opportunity to obtain a priority role within their organization.
This course offers strategies to reinforce your leadership skills and build your team of leaders to achieve organizational goals. You will become a better coach to your high potential leaders and develop the ability to convey your vision to them, while preparing yourself for more senior responsibilities.
Completing this course will help you:
- Differentiate between leading leaders and leading others and identify how to set the vision effectively.

Frequently asked questions
How is leading other leaders different from leading a team of individual contributors?
With leaders, your job shifts from directing tasks to setting a clear vision, communicating cause and effect, and developing leadership skill rather than technical skill. The course is built around that shift.
Who should take the leading leaders course?
It is pitched at the experienced level, for senior managers and executives who now have other managers reporting to them, or who are about to.
I was promoted and now manage former peers who are managers themselves. Will this help?
Yes. It covers how relationships and communication change at that level and how to coach high-potential leaders without stepping on their authority.
Can the course be tailored to our organization’s structure?
Yes. Every course can be customized to your goals and structure, or built as a new course, and you can attend a session free before deciding.
How much time does it take and how is it run?
Three weekly live sessions of about an hour, facilitator-led, with journaling and an activity in between to apply it to your own team of leaders.
