The Accelerating Leadership Program

It is now completely possible to rapidly and significantly improve your leadership performance and your organizational results. It no longer takes years of trial and error, reading dozens of books or enduring hundreds of hours of discussion with well-meaning but uninformed and ineffective executive coaches (who usually know little about leadership theory and even less about leadership development methodologies).

After 20+ years and 10,000 leaders trained in more than 2,000 companies, we know exactly what outstanding leaders do well, in very practical, behavioral terms. Each leadership competency has easily-measurable benchmarks, well-established best practices, and easy-to-deploy tools. It is high time that we take the guesswork out of leadership performance.

THE OS THAT POWERS THE ACCELERATING LEADERSHIP PROGRAM

The Accelerating Leadership Program is based off the groundbreaking Leadership OS. It incorporates the Integral Leadership Framework and a distilled, curated version of the most important leadership and management best-practices. Rather than read hundreds of books (or articles), take this one course. The two outer rings in the "Universal Leadership Model" below summarize the three "Essential Abilities" and the nine "Leadership Core Competencies" that you will be mastering in the program. The center of the illustration reflects the fact that there are four "Universal Leadership Styles" that must be correctly paired with the four corresponding "Follower Mindsets." The diagram also suggests that any of the leadership practices on the outer rings can be approached in four different ways.

Leaders who excel in this area draw upon three skill sets and tool kits, we refer to as Creating the Container, Conscious Communication and Meaningful Motivation.

Identify Highest Leverage Activities

We zero in on the highest-leverage opportunities that will have an outsized impact on your leadership and team performance.

We then apply Pareto's law (also known as the 80/20 rule) to select the specific activities, tools and techniques, that will get you the fastest leadership results and improvement in the shortest amount of time.

Deploy Powerful New Tactics & Tools

Our best-in-class leadership training-on-demand, templates, tools and tutorials fully equip leaders to rapidly deploy solutions to quickly close gaps and elevate individual and team performance as measured by your most important KPIs.

Get the Book the Program is Based On

This methodology has been field tested with over 10,000 leaders in more than 2,000 companies. Despite its enormous success, until now, this information was treated as a closely-guarded trade secret. For the first time, its creator has aggregated the best training materials used with clients, and put them into one crisp 300-page book.

Accelerating Leadership is a counterintuitive approach to elevating team and organizational results by rapidly improving leadership performance. Unlike most books on the subject, it does not speak about abstract conceptual models or vague leadership "qualities." Rather, it breaks leadership competency down into 9 specific skill sets, each with half a dozen concrete techniques (behaviors) and tools that can easily be adapted and scaled across the organization. And it is the first book to reveal the groundbreaking rapid leadership skill-building methodology that is revolutionizing the field of leadership development.

This one-of-a-kind book answers crucial questions leaders are asking, such as:

How can we hold people accountable and keep remote workers motivated?
How can we keep our people engaged and productive in times of uncertainty, fear and change?
We don't have enough resources; how can our team do more with less?
How can we elevate our strategic thinking and make better decisions?
How should we address negative or toxic team dynamics and increase trust?

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Accelerating Leadership?

Accelerating Leadership is a unique system developed during 20-years of training and coaching leaders and teams (across numerous industries and diverse cultures). We offer what many people believe to be the best leadership development methodology, content, coaching and training in the world. This is accomplished by using a best-practice, technique and skills-based approach that has proven to be the most efficient way for people to learn any complex skill, especially the complex ability we call leadership.

Who is this for?

This system is for any leader who has a team (people reporting to them). This includes managers in non-profits and government organizations. It also includes entrepreneurs (who have employees of course, not solo entrepreneurs). This system is perfect for any leader (with a team) who is serious about improving the specific leadership skills that will lead to better organizational outcomes. This includes things like: achieving organizational goals, high-performance teamwork, completing projects successfully on time and on budget, launching new products or services, growing revenue, profits, or increasing employee engagement and productivity.

How is this different than all the other stuff out there?

The Accelerating Leadership approach is unlike any other leadership coaching or training program on the market. This methodology has proven to have consistent, successful results in every application. This is only possible using the unifying theory of leadership developed in collaboration with Ken Wilber at Integral Institute and the proprietary "Leadership Rosetta Stone" that reliably predicts which leadership approach (or style) will work with which people, teams and circumstance and which ones will be absolutely disastrous (and exactly why).

Do you offer more in-depth help?

Absolutely! We have been training, advising, and coaching leaders and executives for over 20 years coaching/training over 4,000 leaders in more than 1,000 companies. You can deploy this system as you wish, with books, self-paced video courses, group coaching programs or 1:1 coaching. With any purchase we offer lots of unadvertised bonuses including: message-based Q&A as well as monthly live (on Zoom) Q&A sessions s (exclusively for AL product owners). If you want additional help implementing the methods in the book, we have various other coaching and mentoring services available, including 10-week "sprints" offered several times a year to people on our customer list (book and course owners).
