LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
Tailored Programs to Uplift Leadership Capability in your Organisation
At Thriving Culture we design leadership development programs to build the relevant capabilities that you need to develp in your organisation. We create tailored programs to suit your business objectives, culture and the capabilities most needed to be developed.
Sessions can be full day, half day, 2 hour or 90mins, face to face or virtual.
The focus of our leadership development programs is to build leadership capability for high performance. We design learning that delivers lasting behavioural change, focused on your organisation’s leadership capabilities and values, using evidence-based insights combined with practical models and applications to embed learning.
Leaders tend to focus on productivity gains through new tools and processes; however, much waste in organisations is due to poor leadership and conversations that were never had or were poorly handled. The investment in leadership development will lead to a more productive organisation, improved performance, more engaged employees and a more profitable business.

I know some of you will be keen to understand the return on investment (ROI), so here are some facts and figures. Research from GBS Corporate Training (2017) states that productivity is decreased by 5–10% due to poor leadership, which can cost organisations millions each year. This is in addition to a 7% loss in annual sales. Better leadership can attribute to a 9–32% reduction in voluntary turnover. And according to a recent study, the cost to recruit has doubled to $23,860 per employee—proof that turnover is costly (Wightman, 2022).
DDI reports that one poor leader costs a company more than $126,000 annually due to low productivity, turnover and staff disengagement. People leave a boss, not a job. In fact, an industry trends study suggests seven out of ten employees quit their boss rather than their company (Williams, 2022).
We know that the more engaged an employee, the more productive and higher performing the organisation. Gallup reports that the single biggest reason that employees are not engaged is poor leadership.
It’s time to step up and invest in the leadership skills within your organisation.

The CEO Masterclass has impacted my leadership by really giving me implementable tools, that had an immediate positive impact. As a group we were able to be candid and honest with each other about where we sat in our business and where our businesses sat, the things we needed to learn. Having those peers to talk to has been incredible.

I have found this program to be one of the most effective training I have had in my business journey. It is hands-on and practical.

The surprising part about the course was the comradery. And to be honest, the retention rate - how everyone stayed engaged. Like, really engaged…It was a really content rich course and I’m probably going to have two years of implementation coming to me, but the best thing was, I realised, okay this is my job now…my job is to look for opportunity in all the issues in my organisation.

Frontier Pets
It was thorough and extremely meaningful for our group's challenges and needs. Extremely well curated and delivered. I learnt more from this class than I have over years of study.

I will walk away from this training program a stronger and more confident leader.
Joshua
Before starting the Purposeful Leadership Program (PLP), I was a bit unsure about my leadership capabilities and style. Through the PLP, I was able to gain insight into my natural leadership tendencies and consequent benefits and pitfalls to be aware of. This has allowed me to better understand the needs and requirements of my staff.
Dylan
This people-centered and value-driven program equipped me with the practical tools and resources that I needed to become a more resilient, confident and judicious leader and manager. Ultimately, my participation in this program wasn't for me...it was for the team I lead.
