Director → VP
Become the leader whose team the whole organization counts on.
A transformation does not happen in six months, and it does not happen through one person. This program turns the people who report to you into leaders who can carry it, so the change runs wider and further than you could ever push it yourself.
Book an intro callSound familiar?
- Every important decision in your function still waits for you.
- You have good people. When you leave the room, they execute and then they stop.
- You started a change, and it moves exactly as fast as your calendar allows.
- You are known for what you deliver. VP roles go to people known for what their teams deliver.
What actually changes.
- You have a team of leaders who each own a piece of the transformation, and it moves when you are not there.
- Your direct reports push back on you, and you are better for it.
- You spend your time on the next problem instead of holding the current one together.
- The organization sees a team leading change and knows who built it.
- You are known as the leader who delivers at scale.
How it works.
Choose
Decide who on your team can become a leader in their own right, and be honest about who cannot yet.
Coach
Most of this program is coaching, yours and theirs. You learn to grow leaders the way you were grown, only faster.
Let go
Hand them real pieces of the transformation and stand behind them while they lead it. This is the part that takes nerve.
Who it is for.
- Directors with a team of managers who still lead like managers.
- Leaders carrying a transformation on their own shoulders.
- Anyone who has proven they can deliver and now needs it to happen without them.
And who it is not.
- Leaders who prefer to be the smartest person in every room. This program hands the room to others.
- Anyone hoping for a quick fix. Growing leaders takes as long as it takes.
Questions.
Do I need to have done Manager to Director first?
Not always. We build your leadership capabilities one step at a time, and this step assumes the capabilities Manager to Director develops. If you start here, we usually need to build you a custom program. It can be done. It takes more time and costs more. Talk to our sales team and we will work out what you need.
What if my team is not strong enough?
Some of them are stronger than you think, and one or two may not be. Finding out which is part of the work. Most teams have more leadership in them than they are asked for.
Will this get me promoted?
This is a very reliable path to promotion. In some cases we even guarantee it: you get the promotion or a full refund. That comes with conditions, so ask our sales team for them on the intro call.
What do I actually do between sessions?
Lead. The program happens in your real work with your real team. The sessions prepare you for the conversations and pick them apart afterwards.
Does my team know I am doing this?
That is your call. Some leaders tell their team. Most simply start leading differently and let them notice.
Let's find out if this is a fit.
Booking a call is not a commitment to join. It is how we both work out whether Director to VP is the right way to close the gap in front of you.
