Program Overview
HPL's Advanced Leadership Transformation is a comprehensive practical leadership development program providing leaders with a core success factor; the skills to lead and develop a high performance organization sustained through the habits of a highly effective leader.
Participant leaders receive one-one coaching support from an experienced leader/coach during and after the program skill development sessions to continue and guide them through developing their skills and forming essential leader habits.
Cohort enrolment is limited to ensure the most effective coach to participant leader interaction.
The proven methodology from learning consortiums of leveraging a leader peer community provides additional support, learning, and sharing of best practices among program leaders.
Upon successfully completing the program and executing their implementation plan, participant leaders will have the skills and habits to take their organizations to a high level of sustained performance to compete and win.
Skills and habits are developed on three core elements:
"Scott and Glenn provided extraordinary real-world experience and effective tools to enable me to drive change and implement large-scale programs in my organization. The coaching calls and peer sessions provided excellent opportunities to share best practices, experiences, and ideas. This course and the relationships created have been a phenomenal tool to ensure I am communicating and driving the company forward in these rapidly changing times."

3 high-impact modules of skill and habit development
Advanced Leadership Transformation is a comprehensive leadership development program designed to equip a leader with the necessary skills and habits to be highly effective and lead a high performing organization. The program is delivered in three high-impact individual modules of three-month duration each. There is no pre-requisite; a leader may join or rejoin at the beginning of any semester.
Each module focuses on a specific theme, building leader competence and confidence within and beyond each module. The sessions contain powerful tools and techniques that all leaders require and can immediately apply in their demanding days to help them become deliberate, in-control, and more effective leaders. Content includes the core elements leaders tell us they need most and desire to enhance their skills. The sessions are not academic management theory, but rather very practical and proven methodologies to combat and assist with the high demands placed on all business leaders today.

Leadership transformation is a term that refers to the process of changing one's approach to leadership to better align with the needs of the organization and its people. It involves adopting new practices and behaviours that empower individuals and teams to achieve their goals more effectively. In today's rapidly evolving business environment, leadership transformation is a critical component of success, as it enables organizations to adapt to changing conditions and stay ahead of the competition.
The concept of leadership transformation encompasses a range of different practices and strategies. At its core, however, it involves a shift away from traditional, top-down leadership models toward more collaborative, participatory approaches. This means creating a culture of trust, transparency, and open communication, in which everyone feels empowered to contribute their unique skills and insights.
An important aspect of leadership transformation is the need to prioritize employee development and growth. Leaders who invest in their teams and foster a culture of continuous learning are better equipped to navigate the challenges of the modern business world. By providing opportunities for skill-building and professional development, leaders can empower their teams to take on new challenges and adapt to changing circumstances.
To achieve a successful leadership transformation, it's important to take a strategic, long-term approach. This involves identifying areas for improvement and developing a roadmap for change. It also requires buy-in from all levels of the organization, as everyone has a role to play in creating a culture of transformation.
Some key steps that organizations can take to facilitate leadership transformation include:
Leadership transformation is a critical process that can help organizations adapt and thrive in today's rapidly evolving business environment. By prioritizing employee development, embracing new technologies, and fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation, leaders can create a more agile and resilient organization that is better equipped to achieve its goals.
