BREAKTHROUGHLEADERSHIP®
A New Approach and Mind-Set for a Vastly
Different World
As the workplace becomes a more complex environment, leadership
development becomes increasingly more important. Midlevel
managers are profoundly affected by the factors—globalization,
rapid change, economic uncertainty, organizational flattening—
underlying today’s complexity. At a time when they have become the
driving forces behind new initiatives and serve as the glue that holds
far-flung teams together, they find the workplace a vastly different
world—one where influence trumps direct reporting relationships.
This world requires a new approach and mind-set.
Breakthrough Leadership is a blended, cohort-based program
designed to help organizations transform midlevel managers
into more effective leaders. Based on the research and writings
of Harvard Business School Professor Linda A. Hill and former
business executive Kent Lineback, this solution outlines the three
imperatives that successful and effective leaders follow: manage
yourself, manage your network, and manage your team.
With its integrated, straightforward framework, Breakthrough
Leadership enables midlevel managers to approach their roles,
prioritize their actions, and deliver stronger and more effective
results. Its six modules, typically delivered over six months,
focus on three objectives: learning by doing, learning through
others, and personal reflection. Learners interact with content
through self-paced study; self-rater assessments; online study-
group case discussions; live, facilitated debrief sessions; and
on-the-job activities.

GREAT LEADERS
