3. The workplace is changing
Past Current & future
In person Virtual / hybrid
Opaque Transparency
Silo Boundary-less collaboration
Logic & data Intuition, sense-making
Central decisions Empowered teams
Separate Systems Embedded into every process
Thriving in the modern workplace requires different thinking.
We need to equip managers with the skills and mindsets to leverage the potential that
lies within an engaged & inspired workforce.

4. The workforce is changing
Past Future
My paycheck My purpose
My satisfaction My development
My boss My coach
My annual review My ongoing conversation
My weaknesses My strength
My job My life
People entering the workforce have very different expectations from their managers.
We need to equip managers with the skills and mindsets to leverage the potential that
lies within an engaged & inspired workforce.
And help emerging leaders develop leadership & influence skills before they are in
positions of authority.

5. Problems worth solving
Capacity – lack of internal HR capacity to build, design, facilitate and measure learning
Stick-to-it-iveness – Lots of new project that get started but few that actually END, and we
can’t measure results or impact without ending projects. HR gets distracted quickly and the
people on high impact projects get pulled into something new before being able to complete
the delivery.
Digital and on-line apprehension – skills in HR to embrace a digitally enabled learning world.
And even in the end learner – preference for “chalk and talk” because it is easy and what
they know. Easy, but not effective
Results and Impact – how can we measure the results of what we do and impact on the
business if we do a 3 day class, or drop the ball before getting to the touch-down ine?

7. The BIG IDEA
Inspired Leadership is about creating sustainable behaviour change, so that
the leaders in organisations step up and stand out. An either/or training
program has limited impact. We decided to fix that.
We built a cost effective, compelling, interactive, application based leadership
development journey. We stem attrition & increase engagement with high touch
& high tech blended learning for managers & emerging talent who need to be
Inspired Leaders.

8. Why Emerging Leaders?
High potential future managers, functional experts and early
career professionals all need to build essential leadership skills
and experience to bridge the gap between high expectations and
realistic promotions and appointments. We stand in that gap.
Inspired leadership high tech & high touch four-month paths, join
together to form a sustainable journey of development that
prepares people to inspire and influence with or without formal
authority.

9. Why Manager to Leader?
Organisations are benefitting from an influx of enthusiastic, digitally fluent
and purpose driven young people. Traditional management practices and
styles quickly grind the life out of them. If you want to capitalize on the
talent of your people, equip and expect your managers to be Inspired
Leaders.
Inspired Leadership Journeys do just that. We bring the latest
management and leadership thinking to your managers using feedback;
high impact & short duration face to face group facilitation & digital learning
that challenges continued application every step of the way.

10. Facilitated group work
We can train your facilitators or leverage our
certified facilitators to conduct learning,
reflection and application sessions. These
face to face or virtual connections create
accountability, community & network. As
people we like to learn from others and share
experiences. We need to connect, not just be
connected.
Digitally enabled
Our technology partner: aNewSpring
brings a clean, simple mobile friendly
platform that we can brand to your
company. We leverage the unique
features of memo training and 360
feedback to enhance and embed
learning.
We offer development and growth for those who
believe in maximizing human potential.
Blended learning
No one completes e-learning on their
own. Initial enthusiasm quickly
dwindles. We blend face to face, a
variety of on-line learning methods
with application and reflection.
Accountability to learn and apply is
monitored by the learning peer group
& facilitator.
Measurable impact
Inspiring Leaders starts and ends with 270
or 360 degree feedback. Participants select
peers and people they lead, as well as their
manager to give them feedback on the
Essential Characteristics of Emerging
Leaders or Managers. The post
assessment, as well as group attrition,
engagement, performance and bench
strength demonstrate impact.
Advancing through levels
We all like to feel like we are
progressing. The Inspired Leadership
Journeys have levels and participants
are rewarded and recognised for
completing each level with a certificate,
manager 1:1 and company specific
awards. Leader boards & social
engagement on the platform
encourages and spurs on progress.
Application
Each module has various real world
application challenges. Participants
need to record what they have done
and reflect on what worked and what
didn’t, what the impact was and what
gaps they have & discuss these in the
facilitated Group Sessions.

11. Why does this work?

20. Manager to leaders: Who & how
Who should be on the Journey? How does the organisation benefit
• New or experienced managers who are
technically proficient but lack
management and leadership skills
• Managers who need to up their game and
embrace influence not just positional
authority
• An existing manager who wants to!
(Motivation to grow and learn is a sure
indicator of future fitness)
• Develop well rounded leaders with aptitude
and attitude to lead in a rapidly changing
world.
• Strengthen the senior leadership pipeline
• Investing in your managers as people has a
direct impact on improving customer
engagement, reducing safety incidents &
reducing absenteeism. (It’s the Manager,
Gallup 2019)
• Assess learning aptitude as a key determinant
of success

23. MAJOR
COMPETITORS
Online learning
LinkedIn Learning, Udemy, Coursera, Khan
Academy etc. are all wonderful platforms. However
no one is interested in the opinions, experiences or
thoughts of the learner. 25% of employees believe
that their opinions don’t count at work. If we
changed that we could realise a 22% reduction in
staff turnover.
Academic institutions
Wits, UCT, GIBS all offer great programs. For the
most part they expect your learners to come to
them for days and weeks at a time, and time off
work is exactly what we don’t want at this career
stage. The costs make investment very selective
and we all know that developing leadership takes
time. We need to be in it for the long term…
Leadership is not something we learn overnight.
Face to face courses
Face to face facilitated courses are wonderful for
networking, discussion and practice. Unfortunately
unless what is learnt is applied immediately after the
course, very little ROI is gained from the experience.
There needs to be regular & varied exposure for proper
encoding and retrieval to take place.

24. Some of our Inspired TEAM

leaders, facilitators, and coaches.
