Three Essential Management Abilities
To provide additional granularity, the below section describes what you will learn in each of the three skill sets that correspond with each of the three "Essential Leadership Abilities." We begin with Strategy & Stakeholders...
STRATEGY & ALIGNMENT
To take your Strategy & Stakeholders performance to the next level, you will need to upgrade the tools and skills that you use to analyze organizational needs, establish the compelling vision, align stakeholders for maximum buy-in and commitment, and craft successful, evolving strategic plans. Leaders who excel in this area draw upon three skill sets and tool kits, we refer to as Sensemaking, Strategic Alignment and Dynamic Steering.
Sensemaking Module
Equip yourself with the best tools and methods to accurately evaluate the landscape (external as well as internal dynamics) to determine what's really happening, key drivers impacting the environment, what is most important, and what is most needed, so that you can make the decisions that lead to success.
Strategic Alignment Module
Equip yourself with the best tools and methods to establish directional statements including purpose, values, vision, and your ability to align key stakeholders so interests are accounted for and they feel a mutual commitment to the direction and optimal cooperation and support for your vision and strategy.
Dynamic Steering Module
Equip yourself with the best tools and methods to get better at strategic thinking, developing winning strategies, establishing goals, and selecting the highest-leverage initiatives and projects to achieve them. This includes best practices for planning work that hits organizational targets.
TEAMWORK & CULTURE
To take your Teamwork & Culture performance to the next level, you will need to upgrade the tools and skills that you use to set people up for success and develop teams over time, communicate with your teams effectively and keep members engaged and motivated. Leaders who excel in this area draw upon three skill sets and tool kits, we refer to as Creating the Container, Conscious Communication and Meaningful Motivation.
Creating the Container Module

Meaningful Motivation Module
Equip yourself with the best tools and methods to keep the workforce engaged and team members motivated. This includes understanding each person’s needs, values, and intrinsic motivators, and conveying messages in ways that are resonant with each person’s leadership preferences.
EXECUTION & PERFORMANCE
To take your Execution & Performance to the next level, you will need to upgrade the tools and skills that you use to identify and close employee performance gaps, achieve high accountability and productivity on your team, and consistently deliver successful projects on time and on budget. Leaders who excel in this area draw upon three skill sets and tool kits, we refer to as Performance Management, Project Implementation and Improving Productivity.
Performance Management Module
Equip yourself with the best tools and methods to manage performance so that responsibilities, expectations, and agreements are consistently met. This includes the ability to have ongoing “accountability conversations” to manage commitments, including “breakdowns” when expectations are not met.
Project Implementation Module

Get the Book that Is Disrupting an Industry
We wrote the book on "leadership development. The Handbook of Leadership Development is the definitive reference guide for executives in charge of leadership development.
Industry veteran Brett Thomas knows from experience exactly what works, and what does not work, when designing and delivering leadership development training and coaching programs. This handbook outlines everything organizations need to know to avoid costly failures of leadership programs and spells out exactly what you need to do to have the highest chances of success. This one-of-a-kind book answers crucial questions leaders are asking, such as:
How can we hold people accountable and keep remote workers motivated?
How can we keep our people engaged and productive in times of uncertainty, fear and change?
We don't have enough resources; how can our team do more with less?
How can we elevate our strategic thinking and make better decisions?
How should we address negative or toxic team dynamics and increase trust?
Frequently Asked Questions
What is integral organizational development?
Accelerating Leadership is a unique system developed during 20-years of training and coaching leaders and teams (across numerous industries and diverse cultures). We offer what many people believe to be the best leadership development methodology, content, coaching and training in the world. This is accomplished by using a best-practice, technique and skills-based approach that has proven to be the most efficient way for people to learn any complex skill, especially the complex ability we call leadership.
Who is this for?
This system is for any leader who has a team (people reporting to them). This includes managers in non-profits and government organizations. It also includes entrepreneurs (who have employees of course, not solo entrepreneurs). This system is perfect for any leader (with a team) who is serious about improving the specific leadership skills that will lead to better organizational outcomes. This includes things like: achieving organizational goals, high-performance teamwork, completing projects successfully on time and on budget, launching new products or services, growing revenue, profits, or increasing employee engagement and productivity.
How is this different than all the other stuff out there?
The Accelerating Leadership approach is unlike any other leadership coaching or training program on the market. This methodology has proven to have consistent, successful results in every application. This is only possible using the unifying theory of leadership developed in collaboration with Ken Wilber at Integral Institute and the proprietary "Leadership Rosetta Stone" that reliably predicts which leadership approach (or style) will work with which people, teams and circumstance and which ones will be absolutely disastrous (and exactly why).
Do you offer more in-depth help?
Absolutely! We have been training, advising, and coaching leaders and executives for over 20 years coaching/training over 4,000 leaders in more than 1,000 companies. You can deploy this system as you wish, with books, self-paced video courses, group coaching programs or 1:1 coaching. With any purchase we offer lots of unadvertised bonuses including: message-based Q&A as well as monthly live (on Zoom) Q&A sessions s (exclusively for AL product owners). If you want additional help implementing the methods in the book, we have various other coaching and mentoring services available, including 10-week "sprints" offered several times a year to people on our customer list (book and course owners).
