Good To Great: Redefining Leadership for a Human Era

A machine cannot be great. A machine is simply a machine. It lacks any humanity to it, any traits, any motivation. It is purely designed for a result and for benefit. It can be sold, it can be fixed, destroyed, and rebuilt to complete its designed functions – and that is it. Leaders are not machines, and neither are companies.

A leader must be great. A leader is never simply a leader. Leaders are humans, people. Leadership is not an equation to solve or a machine to perfect. The true glory of management lies in its ability to be alive and creative. It is filled with unpredictability and differs from one day to the next. As uncertain, in fact, as human life itself. Leadership is a living interplay of vision, empathy and action.

At Perform HR, leadership is not viewed as linear; it is an ever-evolving journey, and it never stops, and it can only start when you make the choice to be not just good, but to be great. We are not machines. Our humanity lies in our relationships with each other, building each other up, no matter who you are.

The Good to Great: Emerging Leaders Program is a crafted developmental program by our own leaders for anybody seeking to rise not only career wise, but in their character. This isn’t a program about fixing machines, or rebuilding. It is not about certainty or simplicity, because that’s not how people work. PerformHR understands that more than anything. We want to see your potential and nurture it, develop it, practise it, until it comes to action. It provides foundational tools and insight into navigating the humanity and complexity behind leadership.

This program can go between 3-12 months, and is tailored to your unique needs and circumstances. The Good to Great: Emerging Leaders Program is designed with flexibility and depth to meet you where you are and take you where you want to go. It’s about choosing greatness over complacency and committing to growth, not just for yourself but for those you lead.
