What are leadership sprints and why are they relevant?

Leadership Sprints are an innovative format for leadership development that is characterized by short, intensive learning intervals. Each sprint lasts six weeks and focuses on a specific aspect of leadership. participants can either complete all six sprints or focus on specific topics that are most relevant to their personal and professional needs.

Training leadership like a pro: endurance meets sprints

In principle, the whole thing works like an individual training plan. In running, marathon runners know this: To be successful on the track, you not only need endurance runs, but also targeted interval sprints that train strength, speed and reaction times. This is exactly what leadership sprints do in leadership development. They offer intensive training phases that provide targeted and effective preparation for the challenges of day-to-day management - with the flexibility to adapt them to individual needs.

Especially in times of rapid change and growing complexity, the combination of structured speed and in-depth content offers clear advantages: Managers learn to remain resilient with mindful leadership, to lead hybrid teams successfully and to recognize opportunities in a crisis with a growth mindset. In the Leading Change Sprint, they develop the necessary agility to actively support change processes and use performance management to create an environment in which their team can grow sustainably. Leadership sprints transform good leadership thinking into future-oriented practice - flexible, practical and directly implementable.
