Overview
Your challenge
 You need to influence with more impact
 You must be able to manage change and complexity – with conviction and authenticity
 You need to communicate a clear, playing‑to‑win vision for your organization
 You must develop leadership potential in others
 You want to enhance and expand your leadership styles for high impact

Your solution
High Performance Leadership (HPL) – six intensive days with the focus on you, your leadership styles, your vision, and
the impact on your team, organization and customers. Explore your personal leadership patterns, learn how to leverage
your strengths and focus your mind for success, and discover how to create and lead highly effective teams. Experience
the techniques that successful business leaders, world-class athletes, and outstanding musicians and artists rely upon
to achieve great results. In short, focus on the core skills you need to consistently deliver outstanding performance.

Program benefits
 Discover your leadership roots and foundations, diagnose your leadership tasks, advance your leadership skills
and develop a personal leadership path that ensures inspiration and resilience
 Develop your own leadership style: learn effective dialogue, revitalize your vision and build on your strengths
 Boost your capacity to change and move to the next level of your leadership performance

Participant profile
You’re an experienced executive, wanting to achieve the next level of effectiveness in leading individuals,
teams and large groups to their highest level of sustained performance. Your class members have a minimum
of 10 years’ management experience and come from a wide range of industries, functional backgrounds and
geographic regions.

Team opportunities
Why not use the program to kick off a new initiative in your organization, or to address new leadership challenges
in the execution of a new or changing strategy? Develop a common approach and language, and increase the
impact by sending several executives to the same program – either simultaneously or over time.

Thanks to a significant shift in mindset since HPL, I interact more

effectively with my team – I’m more hands-off and better at delegating
and dialogue. As I can analyze my patterns and actions, using
a framework from HPL, my confidence in my leadership has grown.

The timeless seeds of HPL that took root
within me over just 6 days, continue to be
nurtured. In every new day and situation,
I remember to focus my mind’s eye on the
positive, create bonds and hold dialogues.
Doing so challenges me to rethink opportunities
I previously would have dismissed.

This program has changed my life.

Thank you. It taught me that no matter
how senior in a company or in life
you are, you still need a secure base.
I have learned a great deal and will take
this back to work and implement it,
so that I can improve the culture
to a high-performance one. HPL turned
us into high-performance leaders.
