Each module is practical, with tools leaders use the same day.
  1. Decision cadence
    Set a weekly decision board, shorten cycles, make choices that hold.
  2. Clear communication
    Say the thing, simply. Tight brief, clean update, close the loop.
  3. Resilience basics
    Micro recovery, energy signals, steady habits that protect performance.
  4. Accountability that sticks
    Agree standards, use straight conversations, remove fuzz around ownership.
  5. Meeting design
    Fewer meetings, better purpose, timings that hold, outcomes captured.
  6. Leading through change
    Map stakeholders, shape the message, keep delivery moving while the ground shifts.
Optional module: The Recon Brief
Short briefs, clean plans and honest debriefs, drawn from reconnaissance discipline.
  • Before each session: short pulse or quick win to bring data to the room
  • During: 90 minutes of tools, live practice, and an action to run that week
  • After: a one-page takeaway and a tracker to keep pace
  • Between sessions: light nudges and office-hours support for the cohort lead
  • Pre/post pulse on behaviours aligned to each module
  • Manager feedback at mid-point and end
  • Delivery checkpoints at 30/60/90 days on agreed indicators
  • One-page monthly summary to HR or the sponsor, outcome-level only
Typical indicators: time to decision, meeting finish within time, owner clarity, rework rate, visible habit adoption.
