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 at the start of 2027
A new year challenges 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 from the beginning of the year.
The programme is designed to help managers strengthen those leadership behaviours as 2027 gets underway.
