Find ways to successfully navigate your next leadership role
Leadership transitions can create uncertainty. Will you be able to uncover and seize opportunities? Will you be able to put together or build your right team? Will the changes you are tasked with making be sustainable? These questions boil down to one: Will you be successful?
When you are in a leadership transition you can’t rely on the skills and strategies that worked for you in the past. To be successful you will need:
to focus on your ability to navigate changes in the environment/ context
to reinvent yourself to adapt to those changes
to break down some of the obstacles that can get in the way of high performance when shifting into a new leadership role

"Lufthansa was going through a large-scale transformation and a change of perspectives was crucial to initiate behavioural changes. Common Purpose was selected as an experienced partner in bringing various perspectives together and organizing experiential learning activities. All participants stated that the programme had a deep and long-lasting influence on their professional and personal life."
"The programme had immediate effect on the leaders we sponsored to attend. They were recently promoted and faced challenges that would require new tools to navigate successfully. A young leader appeared to be overwhelmed before the programme and returned calmer and more balanced. They improved the performance of their teams and also of themselves."

Yes! The Common Purpose Charitable Trust was established as a charity in 1989. It is registered with the Charity Commission under the Registered Charity number 1023384.
The benefits of Common Purpose leadership programmes include gaining increased:
Agility in adapting to changing circumstances and environments.
Empathy to what other people feel, think and need. Seeing things from their point of view.
Influence in leading change with limited decision-making power.
Openness to new ideas, possibilities and perspectives, including views they might deeply disagree with.
Purposefulness in leading with intentionality, determination, commitment and resilience.
Self-awareness to their behaviours and outlook, and how they interpret and respond to situations.
When it comes to learning, there is no substitute for the power of real experience and fresh perspective. Our approach uses a robust behaviour and mindset change philosophy rooted in real life leadership challenges and experiences. To turn those experiences into real learning we follow five tried and tested steps that lead to habitual change in how people think, feel and act.
Experience: Being presented with new experiences. Engaging with leaders across multiple boundaries and being immersed in new environments.
Reflection: Learning activities to gain a deeper and more personalized understanding of the learning.
Translate: Exploring how to relate new ideas and thought processes back into the learner’s role or context.
Practice: Developing a set of leadership practices that can be used to turn new behaviours into habits.
Assess: Embedding numerous assessments to help learners track their progress pre, during and even beyond the programme.
Experiential learning is a core component of our programmes.
Our programmes create a carefully constructed microclimate to explore real-life leadership challenges in a safe environment, often leading to the types of purpose-driven conversations needed to achieve transformative change.
We also focus on the importance of active learning, by getting people out of their comfort zones and into the world, seeing things, meeting people, taking part, and taking advantage of processes that stimulate multiple neural connections in the brain and promote memory.
