Brian Bacon and the Self-Managing Leadership® Program
In 1991, one of Australia’s largest power companies hired Brian Bacon to help its executive team manage a stressful organisational transformation.
Having spent the last 10 years using different mindfulness and neuroscience-based practices to deal with his own work-related stress, Bacon created a “Self-Leadership” workshop. It used the practices and techniques to help leaders develop an internal compass that helped them see the bigger picture and navigate through turbulent, stressful times.
Following this, the power company became an industry example for organisational transformation and the workshop was developed into Oxford Leadership’s Self-Managing Leadership program.
Since then, the SML program has been developed further for exclusive use in large organizations throughout Europe, the United States, India, Asia, China and Australia.
Today, Oxford Leadership is proud to support individuals across the globe with an online version of the Self-Managing Leadership Program.
We have a panel of online coaches to support your Transformation Journey.
Why choose us?
Our methodologies and frameworks have helped some of the biggest organisations around the world develop over one million transformational leaders and unlock the power of purpose-driven performance.
How the SML® programme inspired Telefónica’s own corporate university.
To date, more than 2000 Telefónica leaders from 18 countries (including Germany, Czech Republic, Ireland, Slovakia, UK, Spain, and USA) have completed the Self-Managing Leadership Programme, with more members of the leadership team on the waiting list for upcoming programmes. Over 600 top Telefónica leaders have attended the Leading High-Performing Teams and Strategic Focusing trainings, with more programmes and Leadership Journeys scheduled.
The SML® Programme is providing the ‘quiet’ foundations for Telia’s purpose-driven transition.
Telia operates across six countries, one of them being Sweden, where the management were so impressed with SML Online that it recently mandated every manager to participate.
“As the owner of that programme internally,” says Magnus Gronblad, Telia’s Group Lead, People Culture & Experience, “I have the privilege of driving greater well-being and self esteem throughout our organisation.”
As a result of the Oxford Leadership partnership and its SML Online platform, people, says Gronblad, feel more proud to work for Telia. “Those that do SML Online,” he says, “are thankful to Telia for investing in them as a person – they feel looked after in their personal and private lives as well as in the way they perform professionally. They’re proud of our strong people agenda and efforts to become a purpose driven organisation.”
