Rising Leaders Program

Pit stops are a vitally important part of race strategy – the outcome of a race is not only determined by the ability of the driver but also by the efficient operation of the service team. Careful planning and efficient handling of Pit Stops are vital to gaining a leading position and an advantage often decisive for winning the race. It is an agile and dynamic approach that combines smart strategy with smart execution.

Our development programs are like smoothly operating pit stops during a Formula One race. They are designed to help participants gain the right competencies as quickly as possible to achieve their business goals.

The aim of the Rising Leaders program is to build the right attitude, broaden knowledge and develop competences in the field of leadership among people newly appointed as leaders. We know that the functioning of the team depends largely on how the leader manages their work, therefore during the training we put great emphasis on shaping the expected leadership attitudes, consistent with the culture of the organization and its values.

• Knowledge level – the participants will acquire and expand their knowledge of effective team management, organization of their own work and building a positive image of a team leader, they will learn about communication mistakes and barriers, models of feedback, methods of self-presentation and tools helpful in conducting effective speeches.
• Skill level – the participants will learn effective techniques and models of communication in the relationship leader-employee and leader-team, develop tools necessary for proper management of change and effective response to conflict situations and so-called fires, learn how to effectively motivate and engage the team in daily work and tasks.
• Attitude level – participants will understand how important the right attitude is for the effective work of the boss and how the internal beliefs that guide the leader affect the daily work and the atmosphere in the team.

Training sessions in the Rising Leaders program are like well-designed pit stops, supporting participants in reaching their planned goals. During the pit stop, we help participants observe which elements of their work are running correctly and which need further work, repair or replacement. Through pre-measurement, we can plan an individual development path for each participant, addressing individual predispositions and talents.

The Aspiring Leaders Program is three dynamic pit stops. Pit Stop activities must be swift, so each program stage is divided into smaller components: two training sessions, self-work and individual coaching. A team of experienced trainers and coaches will equip participants with practical knowledge based on practice and well-proven tools.
