The Work · Leadership Track

The leadership your
company needs —
built over three to five months..

Most leadership development is built around templates. Ours starts with what is actually happening inside your team. We work with your top team and the team leads in parallel, then carry the work into the layer below where needed.

How it's built · The modules

Four building blocks.
Designed around what's actually there.

No two leadership tracks are the same shape. The four modules below are. What changes is how much of each, in what order, and where the pressure is. We don't design a track until we know what's already in the room.

01
Intake & research

Before we design anything.

We want to know what's actually playing out before we propose what to do about it.

  • One-to-one with each top team member and team lead.
  • Short conversations with two or three staff who see the team from below.
  • HR strategy and what's already in motion internally.
  • Track designed around what's actually there — not around a template.
02
Offsites

Whole day. One theme. Live work.

A full day with one topic. We work on what's alive that day, not what looked relevant six weeks ago.

  • Trust, safety, and how the team handles conflict.
  • Roles and decision rights — top team versus team leads, what's whose call.
  • Delegation and ownership, in actual cases not in theory.
  • Somatic work woven in where it matters — not bolted on.
03
1:1 Coaching

When something sits at the individual level.

If a pattern is stuck inside one person, we work with that directly — outside the team process, in confidence.

  • Patterns that show up in the offsites and want their own room.
  • Burn-out, stress, and the calls that get harder under pressure.
  • Transitions into a new role or a bigger seat.
  • Confidential. Held separately from the team work.
04
Interim sessions

After an offsite, the operation lands on you.

Short online sessions between the offsites. The point is to re-rehearse the new language and see how it actually plays in the week.

  • 60–90 minutes online, between full-day offsites.
  • Re-practice the models and the vocabulary in live cases.
  • Watch how the theory lands when nobody's facilitating.
  • Where needed, adjust the plan — don't push through.
The arc

The top team first.
Then wider, when it holds.

Most tracks try to reach everyone at once and change very little. We start with the top team and the team leads. Only when leadership is modelled there, we move further into the organisation.

Phase 1 — parallel

Top team & team leads

This is where the tone gets set. Everything below inherits this layer's behaviour, whether you intend it or not.

  • One-to-one intakes with both groups.
  • 3–5 offsites, shared between top team and team leads.
  • Halfway through — a joint offsite, both groups in the same room.
  • 1:1 coaching and check-ins where pressure builds.
Phase 2 — optional

Staff

Only once leadership is actually standing and the moment is right. Doing this earlier doesn't propagate — it dilutes.

  • Same language, one layer deeper.
  • People take their role rather than help out around it.
  • Feedback that lands without damaging the relationship.
  • Academy-style track if and only if it fits.
The work

Four foundations.
Built in sequence.

All teams do the same core work. What changes is the order. Some teams need trust first. Some need commitment made real. Either way, you do not fix execution before the layer underneath can hold it.

01

Trust & conflict

Keep safety, but actually name things. Learn to have the difficult conversations without them derailing the room.

02

Commitment & accountability

Who decides what. Holding each other to what's been agreed. No ambiguity about who's doing what after the meeting ends.

03

Work rhythm

A meeting cadence that fits where the company is now. KPIs that genuinely belong to one person. Less reactive, more rhythm.

04

One story

Where you say yes, where you say no. The same story told the same way through the whole company. All noses pointing the same direction.

Where we begin

The first two layers.
That's where the real movement is.

The four foundations build on each other. The first two are where most leadership teams have the most ground to cover — and where the rest of the track stops or starts to stick.

Trust & conflict

  • Encourage honesty without compromising on safety.
  • Name the patterns before they generate tension in the room.
  • Focus on the process, not the person.
  • Learn to pause — instead of overshooting under pressure.

Commitment & accountability

  • Who decides what — top team, team leads, and the layers below them.
  • Really fill each role, instead of just occupying it.
  • A way to disagree out loud without generating static.
  • Culture becomes something everyone carries, not one person.
What it costs in time

About 32 hours per person.
Spread over three to five months.

Indicative, per top team and team lead member. We design around your operating tempo — not the other way round.

~32u

Per top team / team lead

Across the full 3–5 months. Intake, offsites, and check-ins combined.

3–5

Offsites, shared

Whole-day sessions, roughly every 3–6 weeks. Partly apart, partly together.

2–3

Online check-ins

Short 60–90 minute sessions, between and after the offsites.

What participants experience

What changes in the way you lead.

The first thing most people notice isn't a new framework. It's that the room feels different — conversations that used to drift into follow-up emails get had where they belong.

Over three to five months, the pattern lands: people say what they think in the room, decisions hold, and the founder stops being the routing layer for every cross-functional call.

Start here

One honest conversation about the team you're building.

No pitch. If a Leadership Track isn't the right shape for where you are, we'll tell you what is — and where to look. The first call is 45 minutes and gives both sides enough to decide.
