Individual Feedback

Mike is senior manager in technology operations USA with some 30 years management experience.

"After 30 years of management and a very successful career I experienced life changing leadership through this programme. It exemplifies a real-life train the trainer program. I've made a significant impact on my direct reports and their productivity reflects it. The 70-20-10 approach has influenced my teams on a daily basis and we have savings and cost reductions as a result. The IPAS system created a discipline reflection schedule and goal-oriented plan. I've never experienced a program that continues to impact my life 6 months after the training. I would inspire anyone desiring to learn leadership and make a direct impact on others' lives to take this course. The passion of the CAL approach is like no other program."

Chris is an operations manager telecoms Singapore with some 20 years leadership experience.

"The CAL programme came at a good time and is the best leadership development I have seen. I was beginning to be challenged leading a large team which was facing increasing volatile and uncertain times. During the CAL programme my responsibilities were enlarged and I am now leading a team 3 times larger and more spread out than before. By applying the CAL approach, I am getting great results but for a lot less stress. I have learned how to let go and "get onto the balcony" and spend more time looking long term, whilst enabling my team to get on and achieve the day-to-day results. I am spending more time coaching and enabling, and also being more strategic in my work"

Qiong Fei is a sales manager in telecoms China with 20 years experience:

"My management work became much easier and effective after applying the CAL approach. My work life balance has improved, team members are more pro-active, negotiations become more easier and interesting, and delegating more to my direct reports has seen them take responsibility very well. A major benefit is gained by more free time which can be re-invested on more important work."
