360 Leadership Development Journey - Future-Proof Your Leadership: A 360° Development Journey for High‑Performing Managers Why HR Managers and Business Leaders Worry About Leadership Development If you’re an HR manager, company owner or director, chances are you wake up wondering whether your current and future leaders are equipped to steer the business through growth, change and unexpected challenges. One of the biggest issues organisations face is not the lack of talented individuals, but the lack of a structured, continuous leadership development journey. Traditional leadership courses often deliver a burst of inspiration that fades by Monday morning. Busy managers juggle team targets, staff issues and operational tasks - when do they have time to become the leaders your business needs? That’s why our complete 360° leadership development journey was born. It tackles the common pain points head‑on: inconsistency in training, lack of accountability and limited access to ongoing support. Rather than attending one‑off sessions and hoping for the best, your managers embark on a bespoke development pathway that blends in‑person kick‑off workshops with shorter virtual sessions and an intuitive online platform. They can log in from anywhere - no parking charges, no commuting - spending focussed time each week growing their skills, confidence and mindset. |
360 Leadership Development Journey - Transform Managers into High‑Performing Leaders
Introducing Our Complete 360° Leadership Development Journey
Our 360° leadership development journey isn’t just a course; it’s a transformation. This twelve‑month programme is designed to help managers become high‑performing leaders by blending three learning modes:
- In‑Person Kick‑Off: We begin with an energetic face‑to‑face session to build rapport, set goals and ignite motivation. This meeting lays the foundation for trust and accountability
- Virtual Training and Accountability Sessions: Short, focused online sessions keep momentum going. They reinforce learning, address real‑time challenges and help participants stay on track
- On‑Demand Online Platform: Learners can log in whenever it suits them. One client schedules 90 minutes every Monday morning to work through the material without travel or disruptions. The platform tracks progress, sets reminders and encourages habit formation - critical for lasting change.
What Makes This Journey Different?
- Personalised and Bespoke: No two companies or managers are the same. We tailor the pace, content and coaching to meet your organisation’s needs
- Focus on Habit Change: Leadership isn’t learned overnight. Our programme creates new behaviours and thought patterns that stick
- Accountability at Every Step: Regular check‑ins ensure participants apply what they learn and measure progress
- Flexibility: Your managers don’t have to fit training around traffic, parking and full‑day workshops. The journey fits around them

Case Study: Lisa’s Journey from Manager to Leader
Lisa manages a physiotherapy business with a growing team and ambitious targets. Before joining our academy, she avoided addressing performance issues because she feared conflict and lacked confidence. Over the twelve‑month journey, Lisa learned how to set clear KPIs, communicate expectations and hold team members accountable - skills she previously struggled with. By the end, she was confidently challenging staff who missed targets and coaching underperformers back on track.
Lisa’s story shows how a structured, blended programme can transform not just knowledge but behaviour. Now she credits the academy with giving her the courage to have the tough conversations, the tools to improve performance and the confidence to lead her practice forward.
Meet Adrian Close: The Visionary Behind the Programme
The driving force behind this unique leadership journey is Adrian Close, a multi‑award‑winning business owner, leadership specialist and founder of Ultimate Leadership Training Ltd.
Adrian believes leadership should lift people up. With a career spanning small teams of fifteen to regions with a thousand staff, he’s built businesses, won awards and learned that people come first. On 21 September 2019 he launched Ultimate Leadership Training with one goal: to help new and aspiring managers lead with empathy, energy and confidence.
Adrian describes himself as a husband, father, management trainer, author, volunteer and eternal optimist. His belief that leadership is learned, not innate fuels his training philosophy.
Adrian’s approach is rooted in continuous learning and accountability: he advocates that leadership training must be ongoing and supported with coaching. He expects participants to become future mentors within their organisations, creating a ripple effect of development and growth.
Ultimate Leadership Training now comprises a small team of expert trainers who deliver sessions Adrian can’t personally lead. Together they bring leadership to life for teams across the UK.
Adrian’s passion for adventure - he’s trekked the Tour de Mont Blanc, Kilimanjaro and other peaks - mirrors his belief that leadership development is a journey requiring courage, resilience and preparation.
