Leadership Development
Silicon Valley and other developed economies have a critical mass of talent that attracts investors and business-friendly regulations, but most of us don’t have access to such resources.
At A8 Innovation, our leadership development approach is grounded in the philosophy and frameworks presented in SkillUp As You ScaleUp, or as we refer to it, SAUS [pronounced SOS]. We enable leaders to master the mindset, tools, and strategies required to excel in dynamic, high-growth environments to build scaleable startups and corporate spinoffs. Whether you’re a startup founder, a scale-up executive, or a corporate intrapreneur, we help you create the leadership capabilities needed to lead confidently, align your team, and drive sustainable success.
In other words, instead of focusing on rectifying dysfunctional behaviors that experienced leaders bring with them into a startup and a new venture, we focus on offsetting them by coaching them to deliver tangible results and build a scalable operation quickly.
