Action Centred Leadership (ACL)
Building High-Performance Teams through Practical Leadership
Why Choose Action Centred Leadership (ACL) Training Course?
Effective leadership is not defined by personality or position — it is defined by action. The Action Centred Leadership (ACL) model, developed by Professor John Adair, remains one of the most practical and enduring frameworks for developing leaders at all levels. It focuses on the three core responsibilities of every leader: achieving the task, building the team, and developing the individual.
In today’s fast-changing and complex business environment, leaders are expected to balance competing priorities, motivate diverse teams, and deliver results under pressure. This Action Centred Leadership (ACL) training course provides a structured, hands-on approach to mastering leadership actions that translate strategy into measurable outcomes. Through a combination of interactive sessions, practical exercises, and real-world case studies, participants will learn how to plan, communicate, and act effectively to inspire performance and accountability.
By applying the ACL model, participants will gain the skills to create motivated teams, improve communication flow, delegate responsibilities effectively, and lead with clarity and confidence. The course bridges theory with application — empowering participants to take leadership from concept to consistent daily practice.
