Change Propellers

Meaningful organisations focus on the handful of initiatives that make a real difference, deferring less urgent ones. Their managers commit to those choices in word and deed. By standing firmly behind a few objectives and key results, they give their teams a compass and a baseline for assessment of performance.

Meaningful managers have a positive impact on motivation, morale and performance of the people under their supervision, while meaningless middle managers not only deliver poor results, but also contribute to valuable human potential being wasted. Meaningful managers feel responsible for the social impact they have on their team, organization and community.

Meaningful managers know the real reason people won’t change. They realize that people rarely realize they hold big assumptions because, quite simply they accept them as a reality. Often formed long ago and seldom, if ever, critically examined. But with a little help, most people can recall them fairly easily. Meaningful managers know how to bring assumptions to light so people can challenge their assumptions and recognize why they are engaging in seemingly contradictory behavior. So change can happen.

If you agree with these statements, meaningful middle management is a leadership program for you and your team.

Group Learning

One of the things that makes our courses unique is that they are designed for groups of 4 - 6 people, not just for individuals. These people are co-workers, collaborators and friends (around the world). We are convinced that group learning helps achieving better results, because a group of committed members is more likely to complete the assignments and report that they have more meaningful learning experiences. 

Group Learning immidiate results in more trust, increased engagement, stronger professional relationships and improved collaborations.

Course Rhythm

Once every three weeks we ask you personally to read a MindSpark, reflect on it and bring it to practices. During these weeks you also meetup with your group for a workshop course for about 100 minutes. In these workshops you will be guided by sophisticated discussion guides. The modules are written by world renowned management and business thinkers on a broad range of relevant topics. Our authors include Henry Mintzberg, Edgar Schein, Linda Hill, and many more. The modules guide reflection and dialog on a broad range of leadership themes.
