Programme overview

Programme overview

This programme focuses on practical leadership behaviours that automotive managers can immediately apply with their own teams.

Across four weekly live sessions, participants work on clarity, coaching, accountability, performance conversations and execution — with practical actions to apply between sessions.

Why now

Why leadership matters in Q4

Q4 puts pressure on automotive teams to deliver targets, maintain customer focus and execute priorities consistently.

For managers, this means creating clarity, addressing performance issues earlier and helping teams maintain focus and accountability before year-end.

The programme is designed to help managers strengthen those leadership behaviours while Q4 is still in progress.

Who this programme is for

Relevant across automotive sales, aftersales, field force and dealer operations.
