Leading Leaders

10 simulations. The moments where you have to lead through somebody else's judgment instead of your own.

Leading leaders is the hardest transition in a career, and most organizations leave it to instinct. The work now belongs to somebody else, and everything you know about it reaches you second hand, through the people you are assessing. Every problem is still solvable by you, and that is the trap: solve it, and you teach their team where the real authority lives. Ten simulations put you inside those moments. Feedback, a results report, and a certificate are included.
