We Build High-Impact Leaders
Next-generation leadership for the automation era.
Transform Overwhelmed Leaders and their Struggling Teams into High-Performing Units
Executives want insightful, situationally aware leaders who can drive teams and innately turn analytics and data into action at speed. A high-impact leader brings a human-centric approach to next-generation leadership, a generation that brings humans and technology together like never before. These leaders turn information into wisdom and bring clarity to their teams to get the hard things done on time and on target.
Step into the Cockpit and Start Your Engine
The DNA of our Flawless Execution (FLEX) process is the method used to turn the dreams of young men and women into the reality of flying fighter jets. It’s a simple four step process that defines your intentions, radically improves your communication, allows you to prioritize and focus to get the right things done at the right time, and most powerfully, introduce you to debriefing, the powerful iterative cognitive model that transforms busy-ness into business. We call it:
- Plan
- Brief
- Execute
- Debrief
Today’s Business Landscape Demands a New Kind of Leader: one who can cut through complexity, respond at the speed of data, and drive teams toward results in a human-centric way. Here’s how high-impact leaders, developed through Afterburner’s training, can transform organizations.
Outcome-Focused Mindset: Leaders and teams are often pulled in multiple directions, overwhelmed by tasks and meetings that distract from achieving real results. This “busy but unproductive” cycle drains organizational resources and slows momentum.
Situational Awareness for Informed Action: Rapidly shifting market conditions and internal dynamics can leave leaders and teams blindsided, leading to delayed decisions or actions that miss the mark.
Transforming Data into Actionable Wisdom: The digital age bombards leaders with massive amounts of data, leading to “paralysis by analysis,” where information overload hinders timely decision-making.
Empowering Teams for Autonomous Impact: The traditional command-and-control leadership model doesn’t scale well in a world that demands speed and agility, leading to bottlenecks and delays in decision-making.
Human-Centric Approach to Next-Generation Leadership: The rapid adoption of technology can create a sense of detachment, where leaders focus on metrics over people, leading to disengaged teams and lower performance.
