Authentic Purpose-Led Leadership

sarah event

A two-day leadership programme on 25th - 26th October, find out more

In organisations around the world, the pressure is on. Leaders need to navigate the volatility and complexity created by rapidly changing consumer expectations, social and technological shifts, and climate change.

Leadership styles addressing past certainties cannot deal with the current reality without wholeheartedly embracing purpose. Purpose provides a way through this challenging environment.  A key source of competitive advantage, purpose harnesses the energy of the organisation to serve all its stakeholders.

Authentic Purpose-Led Leadership explores the four core leadership capacities that leaders need to feel alive at work, inspire their teams and, through deeper relationships, create better performance. It is based on the best-selling book Powered by Purpose: Energise your People to do Great Work by Sarah Rozenthuler (FT Pearson, 2020.)

Who needs purpose?

Participating in this programme will expand your leadership skillset whether you are:

  • A business leader in the private, public or not-for-profit sector
  • An executive coach who catalyses change in organisations
  • A community leader with the vision to generate radical social change

What are the benefits?

Recent research demonstrates purpose-driven organisations outperform the market by 42%. They deliver better financial performance, more employee engagement and a greater competitive edge.

Activating Purpose-Led Leadership will equip you to deliver through:

  • Bringing together all aspects of purpose: organisational, team and personal, providing practical models and steps that you can immediately apply
  • Outlining an original, easy to follow model of four interrelated leadership capacities enabling you to bring purpose to life
  • Guiding you through steps so that you align your people around a shared purpose to obtain outstanding results
  • Drawing on over a decade of research on how purpose can be effectively put into action as outlined in Powered by Purpose by Sarah Rozenthuler (FT Pearson, 2020)

Approach

The heart of this programme is bringing to life the four core capacities of purpose-led leadership (as outlined in the book Powered by Purpose: Energise Your People to Do Great Work):

  • Cultivate leadership presence – Accurately tune into what you sense the ‘new now’ calls for
  • Make dialogue authentic - Deepen your listening and build trusting relationships
  • Engage your stakeholders – Reliably map your ecosystem and reach out to those you impact
  • Connect on purpose – Articulate and live a potent ‘why’ for you and your team

What will you learn?

Each session will be experiential, participative and fun! The sessions include a weave of short inputs, success stories and practical tools. We will do many embodied exercises to integrate the intelligence of the body with more traditional cognitive approaches. This will allow you to experience the energy of purpose rather than it just being a mental construct.

Prior to the programme, you’ll have the opportunity to review how you connect with purpose at a personal and organisational level, and then explore how to bring these into greater alignment.
