Get your next leaders ready before you need them
A six-month programme for high-potential team members heading toward leadership, so their first day as a manager is not their first day of learning to lead.
What you get
A ready bench
Promote from within instead of hiring leaders externally at a premium. Your people already know the business.
Keep your best people
High performers leave when they cannot see a path. A named programme gives them one.
Prepared first-time leaders
Profiling and mentoring before the promotion, so the step up is a step rather than a cliff.
Who it's for
- High performers who have been identified for future leadership
- NZ businesses building succession depth
- Cohorts of 6 to 12, in-house or as part of a mixed cohort
Who it's not for
- Experienced managers wanting advanced development. The Frontline Leaders Programme or coaching fits better.
- Organisations with no intention of promoting the participants.
How it works
Profile and goal-set (month 1)
Strengths and personality profiling plus a personal development plan.
Workshops and mentoring (months 2 to 5)
Monthly workshops on core leadership skills, with mentoring in between.
Capstone and report-back (month 6)
A real business project, presented to your leadership team.
Want to talk this through for your team?
A twenty-minute call with Suzy is the quickest way to find out whether this is the right fit and what it would look like for your people.

Common questions
How do we choose who goes on the programme?
Suzy helps you select. The discovery call includes a simple readiness screen, so seats go to people genuinely close to a leadership step.
Is it classroom-based?
Workshops run live, in person or online. Most of the growth happens between sessions, through mentoring and applied assignments.
