Philosophy
In person or real-time live on Zoom. A way to put the Leader Academy concepts to the test of your own experience prior to making an informed commitment about a more strategic partnership.
Explore the PhilosophySince October 1987
Becoming a thoughtful, strong Leader
Mastering the dynamics of the Human Operating System to create value through people.
- Diversity
- Differences in perspective often create chaos. Managed well, they become a source of creative potential.
- Co-creation
- A shared language, methodology and Human Operating System so interdependent players can co-create aligned commitment.
- Grow
- Lasting change comes from developing the person and the context they are expected to lead in.
Sometimes
things don’t turn out
the way they are supposed to,
especially when

people
are involved
We permanently honour a twofold commitment: one to the “best we know today” (excellence) alongside with one to “everything that improves the best we know today” (humility). Ever since October 1987 that focus has shaped an out-of-the-box approach to leadership development.
The brutal reality we slowly are waking up to is that our (geo)political, economical, social, technological and ecological challenges seem to accumulate faster than our capacity to meet these demands.
While most organisations today have easy access to technological innovations, the development of the human capital ironically the core carrier of these innovations ... seems to be much more challenging.
What is needed is a contingent of leaders who have the courage and the competence to constructively build on the rich diversity of their people enabling their companies to transcend the present and create their vision of the future.
Leaders with a tolerance for people with different views and perspectives, who are aware that success depends on their ability to unite interdependent players behind common goals.
Leaders with a profound understanding of how human systems evolve and how this evolution can be mastered and accelerated at the personal, team and organisational levels to create a sustainable way forward.
Human Operating System
The mindsets, paradigms, beliefs, values and behaviours
one relies on to make things happen through and with others
An organisational culture can change overnight
provided those in power
change their Human Operating System*
overnight…
The LEADER ACADEMY will prepare you to make it happen.
Two ways in
Start with the philosophy, or take the two-day deep dive together with the people you depend on for results.
Fundamentals
2 Days - 12 Hours - 8 x 90'
A hi-touch group session or a real-time hi-tech Zoom. An intense collaborative learning experience together with interdependent players who share the same goals.
Explore the FundamentalsThis approach is for you if you…
- welcome a fresh perspective on leadership development
- urgently need to agree on goals, objectives, strategies and KPI’s
- wonder what works and what not and why
- wonder how to change a toxic work environment overnight
- aim to impact levels of engagement and results
- need to motivate others with limited or no financial resources
- wonder why it is wise to develop interdependent players together
- want to discover and master the “Source of Human Good”
- want a feel for the philosophy before committing to a deep dive in the Fundamentals
Ever since 1987 the faculty of the LEADER ACADEMY - an intense development and mentoring process for (executive) teams - have been committed to achieving changes in the way key executives and their teams make things happen on the individual, team and organisational levels.
For over two decades, we also have been passionately engaged in leadership mentoring and development across Southern Africa. By blending a European perspective with local wisdom, we offer fresh, culturally relevant options to support leaders in shaping a future that is both forward-thinking and practical while being deeply rooted in Africa’s core values of Ubuntu : survival, spirit of solidarity, compassion, respect and dignity.
The LEADER ACADEMY have mentored executives, managers, supervisors, entrepreneurs, young leaders and high potentials in both public as well as in private settings from diverse companies and organisations in Europe and Southern Africa a.o.:
