The Emerging Leader Programme

Your best people were promoted because they're brilliant at the job. Leading it is a different skill entirely. The Emerging Leader Programme gives first-time and newly-promoted managers the practical leadership skills to make that step with confidence, built around your organisation and delivered by people who've done it at scale.

Programmes

Three Phases

The ten modules sit across three stages of a new manager's growth

Fitvision-36.jpg

Phase One

Leading Yourself

Before anyone can lead a team, they have to lead themselves. We build the self-belief, presence and strategic perspective that turn a strong individual contributor into someone genuinely ready to lead.

Phase Two

Leading Others

Performance runs through relationships. We equip new managers to build trust, coach their people, handle conflict well, and communicate in a way that brings others along with them.

Phase Three

Leading Performance

Good intentions don't move numbers. We give leaders practical frameworks to set clear goals, hold people accountable, and steer their team through change and pressure without losing them.

Twelve Modules

Choose the modules that match where your managers actually are. 

01

Self Belief

Stepping up from doing the work to leading it can shake even your strongest people. We build the genuine confidence to make decisions, own them, and lead without second-guessing every call.

02

Executive Presence

Presence isn't about being the loudest in the room. We help managers show up with calm, credible authority so people listen when they speak and trust the direction they set.

03

Strategic Thinking

Individual contributors are trained to execute. We help new leaders lift their heads to the bigger picture, see what matters most, and make decisions that move the whole team forward.

04

Building Trust

Leading former peers is one of the hardest parts of a first promotion. We help managers build the trust and psychological safety that turn a group of individuals into a team that follows them.

05

Coaching Skills

New managers often solve every problem themselves because it's faster. We help them coach rather than fix growing their people's capability instead of their own to-do list.

06

Conflict Resolution

Most managers avoid the hard conversation until it becomes a formal problem. We give leaders the tools to address tension early and directly, while it's still small.

07

Influence & Persuasion

New leaders rarely have the authority to just tell people what to do. We help them influence with clarity and credibility, bringing peers and senior stakeholders with them.

08

Storytelling

A good idea, poorly framed, gets ignored. We help managers communicate with a clear, compelling narrative so their message lands, sticks, and moves people to act.

09

Goal Setting 

Setting goals is easy; holding people to them is where managers freeze. We help leaders set clear expectations and have honest performance conversations without burning people out.

10

Navigating Change

Managers are often asked to sell decisions they didn't make. We help them lead through change and uncertainty, keeping their team steady and focused when things shift.

11

Stress Tolerance

Every manager has a range where they think clearly and lead well, and a point where pressure tips them into reacting. We help leaders recognise their own edges, stay steady when the demands rise, and recover quickly when they don't.

12

Performance Mindset

How managers think about pressure and setbacks shapes how their team handles both. We help leaders treat challenge as something to grow through rather than something to survive, and pass that mindset on to the people they lead.

1:1 Coaching Sessions

Coaching is where it gets personal. Every manager gets private time with a coach to work through the challenges they're facing: the team member who isn't performing, the conversation they've been putting off, the step up that still feels a size too big. It's the space to say the thing they wouldn't say in a room full of their peers.

Sessions run alongside the modules, onsite, remote or blended. What's discussed stays between the manager and their coach; what you get is a clear read on how the cohort is progressing.

I highly recommend Mark and his team. He ran a series of interactive, energetic and actionable sessions for my HPE Business Process Improvement team.

 

The feedback from both my leadership and internal consulting team members has been fantastic. Thank you Mark for delivering such an impactful program and directly contributing to an improvement in our annual Voice of the Workforce results.

Getting Started Is Easy

1

Scope & Select 

We work with you to define what "ready to lead" means in your organisation, and help identify the cohort who'll benefit most. Together we choose the modules that fit.

Month 1

2

Deliver & Develop

Your managers work through their chosen modules in live, discussion-led sessions as well as their 1:1 coaching sessions onsite, remote or blended, built around them.

Months 2-5

3

Embed & Extend

We review what's changed against the standard you set at the start, and share what we found with you and your leadership team. From there we keep the momentum going, lighter-touch coaching, refresher sessions, or the next cohort.
