Leadership Team Away Days

Immerse yourself in 200 years of leadership excellence, surround yourself in history and let the atmosphere of this military landmark inspire and drive your business forward, as you become part of our longstanding and exclusive partnership with the British Army. Combining two centuries of military leadership development (where the empowerment of leaders to make fast and effective decisions is key) with our commercial knowledge and experience (delivering award winning leadership programmes that provide businesses with a competitive advantage), IDG at Sandhurst offers your organisational leaders the opportunity to drive your business forward; faster, more effectively and sustainably.

As well as providing an inspiring forum for your discussions, we can facilitate them to ensure your objectives are met, and complement them with appropriate development exercises. For example, collaboration and decision-making exercises. 

Look forward to an inspirational and thought provoking day and leave with powerful insights for the success of your organisation:

• Review the leadership and followership in your organisation
• Develop an action plan to ensure your leadership teams become more effective
• Complete understanding of IDG’s leadership and followership model
• How these methods apply to and benefit the commercial world
• How this will provide your business with a huge competitive advantage

On our programmes we use established business theory, real-life examples and our own research to show that being an effective Follower is not a passive, undermining intent; rather it is a vital skill required in every organisation and in any effective leader.

The emphasis is on “effective”:  not following blindly like sheep, mindlessly agreeing like yes-people, or keeping our heads down like survivors.  Our programmes create Followers who spend their time actually being effective, creating value, challenging the status quo –  and enable them to help their direct reports, colleagues and managers to do the same.
