The People Behind Positive Leaders
Transforming Organisations by Nurturing Exceptional Leadership
At Positive Leaders, we understand the biggest challenges faced by senior leaders today: Their managers don’t have all the necessary skills to manage well. Without a fundamental understanding of their role's purpose, let alone effective management techniques, managers can engage in questionable tactics such as micro-management, bullying, or bribery, just to get the job done.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
As our name suggests, we are all about creating Positive Leaders who know what it takes to amplify team performance. Founded by seasoned CEOs and accomplished market leaders, our leadership coaching and training workshops are rooted in a deep understanding of the managerial challenges faced by senior executives.
Our tailored leadership development programs are designed to empower your managers with the skills they need to lead, inspire, problem-solve, delegate, and communicate with their peers and reports with confidence. Our comprehensive approach spans every managerial facet – from coaching to conflict resolution, aligning team activities with company goals, boosting morale, instilling company values, and more.
Our programs deliver a truly transformative experience for managers, equipping them with fundamental knowledge and skills to send waves of positive, lasting changes rippling through the organization.
Positive Leaders understands that fostering exceptional leadership is a continuous effort, and our goal is to make sure your managers become autonomous on their professional journey. We offer ongoing coaching programs post-training to deeply ingrain new skills, while providing a support system for the first 3-6 months after training.
