Transformational Technical Leadership (TTL)
Turning Technical Experts into Transformational Leaders
The Technical Leadership Challenge
Every industry is being disrupted and adapting to new technologies. Businesses are on a journey to digitally transform themselves, which means the critical strategic initiatives are equal parts business and technology. It is unsurprising, that organizations are searching for technically strong leaders who can drive business results and guide this transformation through the work of their teams.
Teams are the atomic unit of work today and fundamental to our organization’s success. Technical leaders need to know how to build a team, lead work, and get the best out of diverse talent on a team is an indispensable skill. According to a McKinsey Report, 46% of transitions from individual contributors to leaders fail and 49% felt their organizations and leaders were not prepared to handle this complexity.
Our Solution
The Transformational Technical Leadership Experience, developed in partnership with Learning Tree International, was created in response to the Technical Leadership Challenge.
The program experience is comprised of six courses. A completion certificate is awarded after each course and to earn a program certificate, five of the six courses must be successfully completed. Each course is designed to build the leadership expertise, mindset, skillset, and toolset required to become a transformational leader.
As a result, organizations get more “ready-now” leaders, able to lead work, people, and change — and increase their impact on business outcomes. Participants obtain the skills, tools, and real-world practice to not just manage but successfully lead others though constant change, thereby boosting their impact and careers.
