Leadership Development: It starts with your.
What skills do you need to develop or let go of to truly make a difference as a leader for your organization and your team? Effective leadership starts with taking responsibility for your own growth and learning processes. This begins with self-awareness and extends to interactions with others.
Today, leadership is no longer just about top-down decisions. In a rapidly changing world, leaders increasingly rely on the autonomy and thinking abilities of their team members. For us, autonomy means the ability to think freely and take actions based on that, within the goals and frameworks of the organization. Autonomy does not mean complete freedom.
Independent thinking and acting start with an unbiased view of reality, which can sometimes be confronting. We support you and your organization in uncovering underlying issues, both individually and within the company culture. We examine the whole story, including all its facets, both positive and negative.
To fulfill your role as a leader effectively, it is crucial to be aware of your automatic reactions and reflexes in relation to others. Often, we react instinctively, which hinders our connection with ourselves and with others. Autonomy leads to conscious and deliberate choices.
Working reflexively consumes energy and is often unsatisfying and uninspiring. Only when you truly embody your leadership can you have a positive impact on everyone within and outside the organization. This requires flexibility, resilience, and vitality.
By taking the lead in your own learning process, you encourage colleagues and employees to open themselves to new insights and experiences. Leading by example sets the tone. Innovative leadership also means creating a safe working and learning environment where talents and skills can grow in line with the organization’s goals.
A future-proof and vital organization demands the engagement of everyone. This should be a natural part of both the collective quest and daily work.
Innovative leadership also involves seeing the bigger picture. It means taking responsibility for the state of the Earth and the relationships between people. Healthy organizations contribute to a healthy and socially just world where people can thrive.
Leadership - It starts with your
Personal leadership is a necessary prerequisite for successfully leading others. Knowing oneself allows for comfortable connection with others.
Development of successful teams
Teams are constantly evolving. As a leader, it’s crucial to recognize the various stages of team development and respond to what is needed now and in the future. Situational leadership provides a fitting approach.
Agility and flexibility in leadership
Omgaan met verandering hoort altijd bij leiderschap. Beweeglijkheid is nodig om mee te kunnen bewegen met veranderingen en innovatie. En om plaats te bieden aan nieuwe generaties en nieuwe manieren van werken.
What does a leadership program offer?
We always customize our leadership programs. We contract in two separate parts. In the first part, we get to know all individual participants, gathering all the necessary insights to create exactly the right program.
In the second part, we present our approach. Then, we work on leadership development at the group level and in individual coaching sessions.
Depending on the number of participants, we work with one or more trainers. I collaborate with theAcademy for Systemic Work.
Our leadership program offers:
- Development of powerful and authentic leadership
- Increased self-awareness
- Practical knowledge of team development
- Encouragement of innovation within the organization
- An environment of safety and trust
- Promotion of autonomy-supportive leadership; leaders who dare to delegate
- Creation of ownership and entrepreneurship
- Active feedback giving, expressing appreciation, and seeking feedback
Veelgestelde vragen
For which target audience is leadership development intended?
We work with executives who want to further develop their leadership qualities. Our target audience is quite broad, including founders of startups and scale-ups as well as executives in larger organizations.
Our programs serve both as coaching and development programs. They are designed to help you find your own authentic place as a leader.
We do not adhere to a rigid leadership model. Instead, our focus is on enhancing your impact both at an individual and (management) team level.
The essence is being able to connect with others from a place of self-awareness. Therefore, our program is not dogmatic but centered around you.

Are you looking for a leadership program and want individual guidance? Then take a look at leadership coaching.
What distinguishes the leadership programs of Growth Center?
Our programs are distinctive in several ways:
- Based on systemic work
- We let you experience for yourself what works for you and what doesn’t
- A combination of individual coaching sessions and group training
Finally, our programs are also based on the extensive experience of the Academy for Systemic Work in the field of leadership (development).
On which leadership model is the leadership program based?
In the leadership program, many effective leadership models are covered, but we do not define any of these models as the ‘best’ way of leading. Our approach is firmly rooted in systemic work.
The reason for this is that the program focuses on your unique skills and strengths. We do not believe there is one leadership style that fits everyone best.
Additionally, we believe that the ability to adapt your leadership style to changing environments is a key to success.
