The Leadership Landscape has changed: Management layers are shrinking. The bar for team leaders is rising. And this is especially acute for leaders in new contexts (new role, new org, new leader) OR leaders who are ready to break out after years of stalling.What does it take to be indispensable? Leaders who are seen as indispensable in this landscape aren't just good at their craft. They've mastered the full Leadership Operating System — fluency across three critical types of acumen:<ul><li>Business acumen to understand what matters and adapt as priorities shift</li><li>Organizational acumen to build alignment, influence, and reputation with stakeholders that matter (including the most critical stakeholder — their manager)</li><li>Leadership acumen to activate their team and bring out the best in their people</li></ul>Most leaders piece this together through years of trial and error — or not at all. This course equips you with the complete Leadership OS in 4 sessions, with frameworks you can apply immediately, and depth on the moments that make or break your impact.You'll leave with clarity on what matters, who matters, and how to become the leader your company can't afford to lose.
