AVAILABLE INTEGRAL LEADERSHIP COURSES

The State of the Art of Leadership Development

You now have access to the world's only complete leadership development system. This page will explain exactly what that means. To begin with, it means that it is now possible to rapidly and significantly improve your leadership performance and your organizational results. It no longer takes years of trial and error, reading dozens of books or enduring hundreds of hours of discussion with well-meaning but uninformed and ineffective executive coaches. We literally invented "Practice-Based Leadership" more than 20 years ago. After more than 10,000 leaders trained in more than 2,000 companies using this method, we know exactly what outstanding leaders do well, in very practical, behavioral terms. Each of the three leadership abilities and nine leadership core competencies have easily measurable benchmarks, well-established best practices, and rapid deployment tools. We combine cutting edge Action Learning (adult learning theory), micro learning (bite-sized lessons, videos and handouts), with best-in-class leadership frameworks, practices and tools. As a result of all of this (and more than 10,000 man hours and several million dollars in R&D), we can now guarantee that you will get twice the results, in half the time, at a fraction of the cost of any other leadership training or coaching program on the market.

Mastery Through Complex Skill Instructional Design Combined with Deliberate Practice

Leadership is a complex skill which is made up of distinct "abilities." Each of those abilities is made of specific skill sets. Each skill set is, in turn, made up of specific skills which we can also refer to as techniques or practices. There is no way to learn a technical and complex skill other than breaking it down into its component parts and learning each skill and skill set one at a time, then layering them and combining them to comprise the sought-after ability. Unfortunately, few leadership training and coaching programs provide the specific skills for their participants. In truth, most leadership trainers and coaches can't even tell you what they are! The Integral Leadership program is by far the most comprehensive, rigorous, practice-based leadership program in the world. Integral Leadership Academy offers four self-paced courses (one on each essential aspect of leadership) and two coaching programs that are the perfect complement to the self-paced courses.

Become a more respected, influential, and impactful leader by increasing your style versatility and mastering the two or three styles your followers will respond to best.

Elevate your strategic thinking by sharpening your analysis, decision-making, vision, execution, stakeholder alignment, and buy-in to create stronger, more effective plans.

Upgrade teamwork, set people up for success, improve communication, strengthen team cohesion and culture, and keep your team engaged, productive, and motivated.

Take execution to the next level by improving the tools you use to drive accountability, resolve performance issues, increase productivity, and manage projects efficiently.

DETAILED BREAKDOWN OF EACH MODULE

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Great leaders don’t lead everyone the same way—they adapt their leadership to match the needs, expectations, and motivations of their team. To become a versatile leader, you must develop the ability to accurately assess follower mindsets, learn the requisite leadership styles, and develop the versatility to pivot from one style to another based on each situation. This ability is at the heart of what we call "Integral Leadership." It is about understanding why people respond differently, knowing what makes them trust and respect a leader, and having the skill to adjust your approach in real-time to inspire commitment and drive performance. This course provides you with the deep insights and practical tools needed to identify follower worldviews, apply the right leadership style to each person and situation, and develop leadership versatility so that you can lead with confidence and credibility across all contexts. You’ll learn how to decode how your team thinks by assessing the four universal worldviews that shape how people respond to authority, master the four universal leadership styles by understanding their strengths and best applications, and develop leadership versatility by shifting between styles at will. You’ll also enhance influence and trust by delivering messages and delegating tasks in a way that aligns with each follower’s expectations, while increasing team commitment and discretionary effort by leading in a way that makes people naturally accept your authority. Great leaders don’t rely on a one-size-fits-all approach—they adapt, align, and lead with precision. This course will give you the skills to command respect, build influence, and inspire commitment across diverse teams, leadership challenges, and organizational landscapes.

Identifying Follower Mindsets Module

Great leadership isn’t primarily about you the leader—it’s mostly about the people you are leading. Different people respond to different leadership approaches, and what works for one follower may fall flat with another. Identifying Follower Mindsets is the ability to accurately assess the worldview, values, and psychological needs of your team members so you can lead them in a way that resonates. It’s about understanding why people think the way they do, what they expect from a leader, and what motivates them to engage and perform beyond basic job requirements. This module will provide you with the frameworks and tools to identify the four universal worldviews—Imperial, Traditional, Modern, and Postmodern—and understand how they shape how individuals perceive leadership, authority, and decision-making. You’ll learn how to assess follower worldviews in real-time, tailor your leadership approach accordingly, and create deeper alignment and trust with your team. By mastering this skill, you will decode how your team thinks by recognizing the underlying beliefs that drive decisions, anticipate leadership expectations by understanding what each worldview looks for in a leader, and improve influence by delivering messages in a way that aligns with each follower’s perception of authority. You’ll also increase engagement and buy-in by leading in a way that builds trust and credibility while reducing resistance and conflict by understanding why people push back and how to guide them effectively. Great leaders don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach—they adapt based on who they’re leading. This module will give you the skills to accurately assess follower worldviews and lead in a way that connects, persuades, and inspires real commitment.

Universal Leadership Styles Module

The best leaders don’t rely on just one approach—they adapt their leadership style to fit the needs of their team. Universal Leadership Styles is the ability to understand and apply the four fundamental leadership styles—Autocratic, Authority, Strategic, and Humanistic—so you can lead effectively across different situations and follower mindsets. Each style resonates with a specific worldview, meaning that the way you lead determines how much trust, respect, and discretionary effort your team gives you. This module will provide you with a deep understanding of the four universal leadership styles and when to use each one. You’ll learn how to adjust your leadership approach to match the expectations of your followers, inspire trust and commitment, and influence others with confidence and credibility. By mastering this skill, you will learn the strengths, weaknesses, and best use cases for each leadership style, lead the right way for each follower by aligning with their worldview, and enhance influence by communicating, delegating, and making decisions in a way that builds trust. You’ll also expand your leadership range by moving beyond your default style, developing the ability to switch approaches as needed, and increase team performance by leading in a way that resonates with your team’s expectations. Great leaders don’t force one leadership style onto every situation—they adjust, align, and lead with precision. This module will give you the skills to command respect, build influence, and inspire commitment across diverse teams and leadership challenges.

Leadership Versatility Module

The most effective leaders are not rigid—they are versatile, adaptable, and able to lead in multiple ways depending on the situation and the people they are leading. Leadership Versatility is the ability to shift seamlessly between the four universal leadership styles—Autocratic, Authority, Strategic, and Humanistic—so that you can lead anyone, anywhere, with confidence and credibility. It’s about mastering the art of delivering messages, delegating tasks, and managing people in a way that aligns with their expectations and makes them trust you as their leader. This module will provide you with the techniques and mindset to develop a flexible leadership repertoire, recognize which style is needed in any situation, and apply it convincingly so that your team naturally follows your lead. You’ll learn how to switch leadership styles on demand, adapt your approach in real-time, and ensure that your leadership is always effective, regardless of who you’re leading. By mastering this skill, you will expand your leadership range by seamlessly shifting between styles, match the right leadership style to the right situation by assessing the task, team, and context, and enhance your ability to influence and inspire by delivering messages in a way that aligns with follower expectations. You’ll also build stronger trust and credibility by leading in a way that makes followers naturally accept your authority and increase your impact across diverse teams by adjusting your approach without losing effectiveness. Great leaders are not confined to one leadership style—they adapt, adjust, and lead with mastery. This module will give you the skills to become a truly versatile leader, capable of commanding respect, driving results, and inspiring commitment in any leadership scenario.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Great leaders don’t just react to change—they anticipate, analyze, and align teams around the right priorities. Strategy & Alignment is the ability to make sense of complex environments, set a clear strategic direction, and ensure that every person and resource in your organization is moving in sync toward shared goals.

Sensemaking Module

In today’s fast-moving corporate landscape, leaders are constantly bombarded with complex information, competing priorities, and evolving challenges. Sensemaking is the essential skill that allows you to cut through the noise, identify the most critical factors, and make clear, strategic decisions with confidence. It is the ability to see patterns where others see chaos, anticipate challenges before they escalate, and connect disparate data points into a coherent, actionable strategy. This module will equip you with the frameworks, tools, and methodologies that top executives use to make informed decisions under uncertainty. You’ll learn how to analyze trends, interpret key data, and uncover hidden insights—ensuring that your organization stays ahead of the curve instead of reacting to crises.

You will increase efficiency by ensuring that resources, budgets, and talent are allocated to high-value activities, while also navigating change smoothly by aligning teams around new initiatives without confusion or resistance. Leaders who master strategic alignment ensure that their teams work with direction, clarity, and purpose rather than wasting time on disconnected or low-impact initiatives. This module will give you the skills to bridge strategy and execution, ensuring that every action contributes to long-term success.

Organizational Steering Module

In an unpredictable business environment, leaders cannot rely on rigid, annual plans to drive success. Organizational Steering is the ability to dynamically guide your team or company through shifting priorities, emerging opportunities, and unforeseen challenges—without losing momentum or focus. It’s about adapting strategy in real time while keeping long-term goals on track. This module will equip you with the tools and techniques to make informed, agile decisions, ensuring that your organization stays responsive and resilient.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

A strong strategy and a motivated team mean nothing without effective execution. Yet abundant research shows that few companies actually execute their annual strategic initiatives. Execution is what separates average leaders from high-performance executives. Execution & Performance is the ability to translate goals into action, optimize team performance, and drive consistent, high-quality results.

Results from the World's Most Effective Leadership Training

The Integral Leadership Program has been running concurrently for 25 years. It is easily one of the longest-running and certainly most successful and most respected leadership training and coaching programs in the world. More than 10,000 leaders in 2,000+ companies have benefited from the Integral Leadership Program (now it its 5th generation). Below is a small sampling of the results leaders have received from the ILP over the last two and a half decades... in their own words.

Massive leadership upgrade...

When we started Brett's leadership program, our senior managers were under-trained and underperforming. One year later, they had become absolute aces at their jobs. Seriously impressive transformation!

Pen S., General Manager, top design firm serving Fortune 10 clients, New York, NY

Tripled performance in 12 Months...

The training helped our team prioritize high-leverage activities and process improvement initiatives, and increase accountability, so that we were able to triple our output in just under 12 months. Thank you!

Stefan G., CEO, national staffing company, Scottsdale, Arizona

We're now at the top of our game...

The program provided us a comprehensive guide to significantly increase team engagement and commitment. It took the guesswork out of management and gave us the exact tools to keep our team performing at the top of our game.

Jamal P., Director of Operations, a lighting manufacturing company in Atlanta, Georgia

Team morale at all time high...

I was always puzzled why I was able to motivate some employees but not others. This gave me the psychological keys to unlock motivation with every person who reports to me. These techniques are astonishingly effective. Our team morale is at an all time high.

Susan P., Director of Human Resources, financial services firm in Fort Worth, Texas

Confidence in Every Decision

The coaching I received during ILP gave me the confidence to handle high-stakes decisions. I feel prepared, focused, and ready to lead no matter the challenge.

A. Wilson, Marketing Strategist, Chicago, IL

Skeptic Turned Believer

I was skeptical about leadership programs, but the ILP completely changed my perspective. It’s practical, measurable, and worth every penny. The improvements in my team’s performance speak for themselves.

K. Lopez, Director of Sales, Houston, TX

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Who is this for?

The Integral Leadership Program is for any leader who has a team (people reporting to them). This includes managers in corporations, non-profits and government organizations. It also includes entrepreneurs (who have employees of course, not solo entrepreneurs). This system is perfect for any organizational leader (with a team) who is serious about improving the specific leadership skills that will lead to better organizational outcomes. This includes things like: achieving organizational goals, high-performance teamwork, completing projects successfully on time and on budget, launching new products or services, growing revenue, profits, or increasing employee engagement and productivity.

What exactly is Integral Leadership?

Integral Leadership is a unique system developed over 25 years of training and coaching leaders and teams (across numerous industries and diverse cultures). We offer what many people believe to be the best leadership development methodology, content, coaching and training in the world. This is accomplished by using a best-practice, technique and skills-based approach that has proven to be the most efficient way for people to learn any complex skill, especially the complex ability we call leadership. More than 10,000 leaders in more than 2,000 companies have benefitted from Integral Leadership. The method is documented in the Integral Leadership book series (14+ books) which are all available on Amazon.

How is this different from all the other leadership coaching and training stuff out there?

The Integral Leadership approach is unlike any other leadership coaching or training program on the market. This methodology has proven to have consistent, successful results in every application. This is only possible using the unifying theory of leadership developed in collaboration with Ken Wilber at Integral Institute and the proprietary "Leadership Rosetta Stone" and "Universal Leadership Model" that reliably predicts which leadership approach (or style) will work with which people, teams and circumstance and which ones will be absolutely disastrous (and exactly why). Further, we are the only leadership development organization that provides a legitimate way to "measure leadership" because we are the only ones who have broken organizational leadership down into the three abilities and nine core practices (core competencies) and have provided specific observable, measurable behavioral "benchmarks" for lower, intermediate and higher ranges of proficiency in each skill. No one else has ever done this and you can only get this from us. We have been setting the pace and raising the bar for leadership development for 25 years and still going strong.

Will it work for me?

It works for people who do the work. Learning the technical and complex skill of leadership is no different than learning to play the guitar, learning a martial art, learning baseball or basketball, or learning to fly an airplane. The complex skill is made up of specific abilities (3) and each ability is comprised of discrete skill sets (3). If you are willing to put in the effort to learn the techniques and tools associated with the requisite skills, then this will work for you. If you are the type of person who would rather watch "inspirational" videos from entertainers (who call themselves motivational speakers), but aren't interested in learning and practices the techniques that are requisite for leadership skills then this will not work for you. If you complete the courses available on this website or complete the coaching programs offered here, then you will obtain the skills that all competent leaders possess.

Do you offer more in-depth help?

We have been training, advising, and coaching leaders and executives for 25 years . We offer a variety of ways to obtain the information and tools you need to reach your full leadership potential. For some, reading books is adequate. Others prefer a self-paced course with video lessons, handouts and tools that they can work through on their own schedule. If you want to benefit from in-person mentorship and coaching, we offer two levels of coaching in the form of weekly hands on small group coaching cohorts (on Zoom) as well as one-on-one coaching options for those that want it. See Courses page and Membership page in this website for details, or schedule an "Admissions Consultation" and we can review your specific situation, needs and budget and make expert recommendations.

Do you offer a guarantee?

We only want students and members who are a good fit for this practice-based approach to leadership development. This is not for everyone. We offer a 30-Day Money Back Guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, just let us know within 30-days and we will provide you with a no-questions-asked refund. If you pay for a 6-month coaching program with a single payment and you decide to leave the program before the six months is up, we will refund you any remaining months. Example if on month four you notify us via email that you are leaving the program, we will refund the two unused months of coaching. (We don't refund for coaching services already used.)
