The OM Leadership Program (OML) is a unique residential course specifically designed to address the challenges, opportunities and unique circumstances of leading and managing within privately owned businesses.
Facilitated by industry leaders, the course was designed to empower senior managers and small business owners to drive business growth and direction. While undertaking the program, participants further develop practical business leadership skills and build a strong network of other senior leaders from private companies across a range of industries. In addition, participants complete a work-based project that delivers real value to the business.
The OM Leadership Program (OML) is designed specifically for senior managers in private businesses and small business owners. These are managers who want to refine their leadership skills and contribute to the success of the business.
The program grew out of the highly successful Australian Owner Manager Program (OMP). There was a recognition that business owners need to build a leadership team and develop managers with the capabilities to drive the business forward. Similarly, small business owners need an intensive program to build their leadership capability in the context of their business.
Many existing leadership programs are designed for middle or senior managers within large corporate and government organisations. The reality is that leading or managing within a private business is quite different.
Historically corporate leadership programs have been heavily focused on theoretical personal and people leadership concepts. This gives participants a framework in which they are left to work out the day-to-day application. The OM Leadership Program is the opposite… It focuses on leading the business and the everyday application of practical leadership principles.
With this approach, participants gain a better understanding of the challenges of an owner manager. They learn how to think strategically to contribute to growing a business.
OM Leadership Program is a 7-day residential leadership program broken up into two 3-day blocks, and one full day block over a three month period. This allows you to reflect, learn and apply business leadership principles as the course progresses.
In a unique, practical learning environment you’ll develop yourself and refine your skills as a leader. Also focusing on what drives success in your role, your team and the business.
Develop your personal and business skills and become empowered to play a greater role in the growth and direction of the business in which you are working.
In the program, you will refine your leadership style and complete a project that adds real value to the business. By the end of the program, you will have built a strong network of other senior leaders from a range of industries.
The OM Leadership Program is conducted in three day blocks, over a three month period. During each block, participants are immersed in facilitated sessions that include exposure to subject experts, guest speakers and business mentors. A one day workshop is conducted six weeks after the last block as a recap and follow up.
The OM Leadership Program uses similar models and approaches that are used as part of the Owner Manager Program. This approach ensures participants are gaining practical knowledge from experts and that their learning is aligned with the outcomes of the OMP.
Return to the business with a fresh perspective that invigorates you, your team and your staff. Get excited about the possibilities. Become empowered to play a greater role in the growth and direction of the business.

Australian Owner Manager programs teach you to open your mind and see your work through an entirely different prism. This gives you the chance to step away from it for a small period of time to discover the potential.
