The most senior jobs are the least supervised: CEOs, MDs and chairmen make their hardest calls with no peer in the building. The Executive Leadership Program answers that with a cohort of up to twenty executives from diverse, non-competitive businesses — a peer advisory environment giving each member individual insight, coaching, strategies and the leadership skills to reach better decisions and results. The programme confronts why leaders fail, including the dark side, and works through vision and strategic planning, leading through change, top-team performance, and reconciling tensions between the corporate centre and the operating businesses. Each participant’s strategic capabilities and stakeholder engagement skills are assessed and strengthened individually, with governance and the board treated as a source of value.

Frequently asked
Who is the Executive Leadership Program designed for?
It is built for high-potential executive directors being prepared for the CEO role, newly appointed and experienced CEOs, MDs, chairmen, GMs and board directors, chairmen and directors who wish to relate better to the executive, and mid-level leaders aspiring to lead large, complex programmes. The premise is that the most senior jobs are the least supervised — and the programme supplies the peers.
How does the peer advisory format work?
The cohort brings together up to twenty executives from diverse, non-competitive businesses, creating a peer advisory environment that gives each member individual insight, coaching, strategies and leadership skills for better decisions and results. Each participant’s strategic capabilities and stakeholder engagement skills are assessed and strengthened individually.
What themes does the programme confront?
It confronts why leaders fail — including the dark side — and works through vision and strategic planning, leading through change, top-team performance, and reconciling tensions between the corporate centre and the operating businesses, with governance and the board treated as a source of value rather than a reporting line.
Is the programme available in-house and in French?
Yes. BIZENIUS delivers the programme in English and French, and a tailored in-house edition can be arranged for a leadership team. Sessions run on a rolling calendar with dates confirmed on request, and fees and quotations are provided on enquiry.
