Leadership Authority Builder

Duration: 2 Days
Time Schedule: 9:00am to 5:00pm

Introduction

Imagine a workplace where your Assistant Manager responds to challenges with the foresight of a Senior Leader. Where your Team Leads don’t just follow orders, but inspire action, delegate with precision, and drive your company’s mission forward like the trusted right hand of the boardroom.

Now imagine this happening across departments where every middle manager doesn’t just manage, but leads with clarity, confidence, and conviction.

Too often, technically competent executives are promoted without being truly prepared for leadership. This results in delusional competency, a costly trap where managers do more than lead. The result? Micromanagement, missed opportunities, and disengaged teams.

The Leadership Authority Builder is a 2-day immersive training program designed to transform Doers into Leaders. Tailored for middle managers like Team Leads, Senior Executives, Assistant Managers, and AVPs. This course empowers them with powerful frameworks like DISC, VUCA, and delegation mapping. Modules include Doer to Leader, Art of Clone-ing, Trust Strategy, and Big Picture Mastery, designed to sharpen personal, people, and professional mastery.

According to research published by NBER, soft skills training for middle managers can lead to a performance improvement ranging from 40% to 100%. This clearly positions leadership development not as a cost but as a strategic investment, fueling stronger execution, a more cohesive workplace culture, and tangible bottom-line results.

Let your middle managers wear their leadership wings with authority.
