Leadership Training Programmes
London & UK
Bespoke leadership training courses designed to build the human capabilities that drive performance in an AI-driven world. Research-backed, measurably effective, built around your leaders and your business.
What is leadership training — and why does it matter now?
Leadership training is the structured development of the skills, mindsets, and behaviours that enable people to lead effectively. It covers everything from self-awareness and emotional intelligence through to strategic thinking, team leadership, change management, and communication.
In an AI-driven workplace, leadership training has become even more critical. As AI takes over analytical and routine tasks, the premium shifts to the distinctly human capabilities that AI cannot replicate: empathy, influence, judgement, and the ability to inspire and develop people.
The World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs 2025 report found that leadership and social influence skills will be among the most in-demand by 2030. McKinsey's research shows that organisations with strong leadership development pipelines are 2.4 times more likely to outperform peers on long-term financial metrics.
Yet most leadership training falls short — too generic, too theoretical, too disconnected from the day-to-day reality of leading in a complex, AI-augmented environment. That's the gap Growth Performance exists to close.
Our leadership training approach
Every leadership training programme we design is bespoke, evidence-based, and built to drive measurable change.
Diagnostic-led
We start with a thorough needs analysis — using validated assessments, stakeholder interviews, and performance data to understand where your leadership capability gaps really are.
Bespoke design
No off-the-shelf programmes. Every leadership training course is designed specifically for your organisation, your sector, and your leaders' actual challenges.
Research-backed
Our leadership training frameworks draw on the latest behavioural science, including Insights Discovery, Genos EI, Lencioni's Five Dysfunctions, and AI readiness research.
Impact measured
We agree measurement criteria at the outset and track behaviour change, engagement, retention, and business performance — so ROI is visible and demonstrable.

We design and deliver leadership training across all levels and all formats — from one-day workshops to 12-month leadership academies.

Leadership training — frequently asked questions
What does a leadership training programme include?+
Our leadership training programmes typically include a diagnostic phase to identify development needs, bespoke workshop design, facilitated learning sessions, one-to-one coaching, peer learning circles, and follow-up measurement. We use tools including Insights Discovery personality profiling, Genos emotional intelligence assessment, and our own AI readiness diagnostics to personalise the learning journey.
How long do leadership training courses take?+
Leadership training course length depends on your objectives. We deliver everything from one-day leadership skills workshops through to 12-month leadership academies. Most organisations see the best results from programmes of 3–6 months that combine workshops with individual coaching and peer learning. We'll recommend the right structure after an initial needs analysis.
Do you offer leadership training in London and across the UK?+
Yes. We are based in London and deliver leadership training programmes across the UK, as well as virtually and internationally. We have delivered leadership development in Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, and North America.
Can leadership training be tailored for our sector?+
Absolutely. Every Growth Performance leadership programme is bespoke. We have deep experience across financial services, retail, hospitality, healthcare, professional services, and the public sector. All content, case studies, and frameworks are contextualised for your organisation and your leaders' real challenges.
How do you measure the impact of leadership training?+
We measure at multiple levels: learner reaction, knowledge and skill transfer, behaviour change (through 360-degree feedback and manager observation), and business impact (engagement, retention, performance metrics). We agree measurement criteria with you at the outset so outcomes are clear and commercial.
