5 days

Day 01

Day 1: Performance Targets And Executive Context

Core Module

The opening core module establishes a practical starting point for performance targets and executive context within High-Performance Team Leadership. The facilitator introduces the key questions, boundaries and leadership choices before participants map the realities of their own operating environment.
Individual reflection is followed by a structured discussion that distinguishes symptoms from underlying issues. Participants compare priorities, stakeholder expectations and available evidence, then create a concise leadership context map.
The emphasis is on building a common language and a clear foundation for the work that follows, while helping each participant create clear expectations, coaching rhythms and accountability within a team.

Day 02

Day 2: Manager Coaching Tools And Leadership Decisions

Applied Workshop

This applied workshop is run as a decision clinic. Participants receive short, contrasting evidence packs related to manager coaching tools and leadership decisions and work in small groups to identify what is known, uncertain and material to the decision.
They apply explicit criteria, challenge assumptions and compare the consequences of different courses of action. The facilitator uses debrief questions to draw out governance, timing and communication considerations.
Participants leave with a decision rationale with clear criteria, strengthening their ability to create clear expectations, coaching rhythms and accountability within a team without relying on a single prescribed answer.

Day 03

Day 3: Accountability Routines

Practical Lab

This practical lab uses paired rehearsal and observer feedback to develop accountability routines. Participants rotate through realistic roles, test language and responses, and receive evidence-based feedback on clarity, listening and follow-through.
The facilitator pauses the activity at key moments to examine alternative interventions and their likely effect on colleagues. Each participant revises their approach and records a practical conversation or action script.
The session makes the learning visible and usable, so that participants can create clear expectations, coaching rhythms and accountability within a team with greater confidence in real conversations.

Day 04

Day 4: Review Conversations And Performance Integration

Assessment Session

Participants investigate review conversations and performance integration through a structured workplace case rather than a lecture. The case contains incomplete information, competing interests and practical constraints, requiring groups to identify causes, assess risks and choose appropriate interventions.
They present their reasoning, receive challenge from peers and refine the response using the facilitator's guidance. Discussion focuses on the impact of leadership choices on people, delivery and control.
The work produces a case response with risks and next steps and gives participants a disciplined way to create clear expectations, coaching rhythms and accountability within a team when issues are complex or contested.

Day 05

Day 5: Workplace Action Planning and Implementation

Integration Workshop

The final Integration Workshop integrates workplace action planning and implementation with the programme's wider learning. Participants develop a concise workplace proposal that connects their intended actions, leadership rationale, stakeholder approach and measures of progress.
They receive targeted peer and facilitator feedback, revise the proposal and identify the first conversations needed after the programme. The session closes with a final leadership application plan.
This is not a theoretical recap: it is a structured opportunity to demonstrate how participants will create clear expectations, coaching rhythms and accountability within a team through a credible, evidence-based plan.
