Action Centered Leadership

Research suggests that 67% of companies report that they consistently fail to deliver all their expectations from their strategic plan. Why is this? There may be many causes for this failure including unexpected and catastrophic events, such as the pandemic, activities of competitors, or the changing expectations of customers but evidence suggests that the major cause is a failure to execute.

Failure to execute suggests that even when senior executives have a clear vision and comprehensive strategic plan to deliver breakthrough improvements in their organisation – meaning they understand what needs to be done – when it comes to actually making it happen, when the rubber hits the road, it fails to get traction.

Many organisations admit that they do not have a structured process for developing and deploying strategy and, as a result, their approach is ad hoc meaning any success they achieve is purely by luck. Counting on good luck is no way to run a business. During this Strategy Execution Programme, we aim to provide you with the insights, methodologies, tools and techniques to bridge the gap between strategy development and strategy execution. As a result, following this course, you should be able to build the internal capability needed to continue implementing strategy successfully in the future.

This Action Centred Leadership course is designed to develop the leadership skills required by those who need to mobilise others to deliver exceptional results in their organisations. The course is based on John Adair’s Action Centred Leadership (ACL) which is widely used across the world in all sectors of commerce, industry, emergency services, hospitals, armed forces, government departments and charitable organisations. Over more than 50 years more than one million managers have been trained using ACL – and it’s more popular today than it has ever been.
