Course Overview

When mentoring for emerging leaders is unclear, people default to protecting their own function. The hardest part of emerging leaders is rarely deciding — it is holding the decision when it becomes unpopular. Participants who influence this area of organisational leadership without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. They acquire practical criteria for judging when mentoring for emerging leaders is working and when it is only appearing to. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of the wider organisational leadership agenda and prepares them for it. The course gives participants a defensible structure for emerging leaders and the judgement to adapt it. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in mentoring for emerging leaders that were visible long before the incident. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting emerging leaders and under-invest in testing it. The programme ends where implementation begins, with the organisational leadership discipline broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
