course overview
work on the business, not in the business
Unlike other MBA programs, the MiniMBA in Leading High Performance Teams demands leaders use their very own organisation as a case study for the duration of the course, thereby driving performance improvement and business change in real-time.
Under the guidance of an experienced Executive Coach, leaders build their own Strategic Playbook to lead their people and business through change while also learning strategies and frameworks for stakeholder management, overcoming competing priorities and dealing with stress.
unite and focus your team
Leaders learn how to unite their team with a vision and build a strategic playbook that keeps them laser-focused to deliver results.
be a coach, not a boss
Leaders learn how to coach both low and high performers in a way that raises the bar and uncovers hidden potential in all the team.
influence key stakeholders
Leaders learn how to become a trusted and influential voice of reason, who people come to for advice and to get things done.
course modules
practical leadership tools & frameworks
Designed for busy leaders, the Chief Maker MiniMBA runs over 12 weeks and involves a one hour live weekly group coaching call and only 1-2 hours of additional study each week.
Leaders are coached through 12 core leadership modules learning the frameworks and skills to identify and fix problems now – not later.
