Course Summary

Evolve from good to great

Preserve the core, stimulate progress
Engage your people to build a Company of Leaders
Energise your business to create a high performance workplace
Join an exclusive community of experienced leaders

The Advanced Leadership programme is designed for leaders who have established leadership and management skills and knowledge. The programme will enable them to reflect on the present situation within their organisations and their teams, building the strategic leadership skills to facilitate innovation and ensure sustainable growth. The programme will develop the skills of leaders and managers in small, medium and large firms. The role of the leaders and their senior management teams is to create the enabling environment for independent decision-making, guided by the clearly articulated vision for the organisation.

The programme will place an emphasis on developing leaders’ innovation knowledge in order for them to develop and implement strategies for continuous improvement and new product development. Our goal is to enable delegates to identify those critical skills, behaviours and attitudes that will allow them to transform their businesses into ‘Learning Organisations’ [1].

"Though we had a great foundation and knowledge in construction, we knew little about business or running a company. The course enabled me to take a step back and view my business from the outside. Since starting the course, our company has seen a growth in turnover and profit, we have employed more staff and put into place better procedures which is making all of our lives a lot easier."

"The programme uncovered and exposed my weaknesses and then it gave me the tools to rebuild and ultimately improve the structure, culture, enjoyment and turnover of the business. The course content was excellent and surpassed my expectations. Our turnover increased by 30%, the business team blossomed, structure & strategy were created, implemented and resourced. "

""One of the best things I have done in my life. As in regards to bringing me out of my shell and actually giving me a sense of identity. I was a worker, then I became a Manager, and now I'm a Regional Manager. And who knows where I will end up in the future". "

""I have always recommended this course from the very first overnight experiential. This was the most enjoyable course I have ever done (and I have done quite a lot!). My daughter and business partner undertook the course, we had another manager complete last year and another starting in the new year. I think every person within a leadership role should experience this course. It is like no other and the skills learned along, with personal growth, are just something not to be missed. It cannot fail to inspire any leader, it cannot fail to bring a smile to a stressful week and some strategies to help you through. I believe that this is one course that quite simply cannot fail". "

""We were struggling to get over £2 million revenue as a company. What ION leadership gave me was the confidence to look at acquisitions, look at bringing in more staff, look at different services, and overall, in the first year of ION leadership we got to £2.1 million which was a massive achievement and now, 18 months later, the company is turning over £4 million. I wouldn't have been able to do it without ION leadership. I wouldn't have had the confidence". "
