The Executive's Trinity for Entrepreneurs (ETE)

“Management matters, and it always will. So does leadership. So does something else which nobody in the business schools seems to have noticed. In the military, it is called ‘command’. In business, we might call it ‘directing’. Being part of the group running a business organisation requires mastering three sets of skills: The Executive’s Trinity.”

– Stephen Bungay

“The ETE will share the learnings of scaling a technology company from a founder entrepreneur point of view. Leadership development is the most underestimated aspect of growing a company. I wanted to develop the training to support founders in their journey. I found the Executive's Trinity the most transformative frame concept to work with, used by global operating companies and agile teams, now available for founders”

An essential reflection based on a transformative training

Guidance by three dimensions

Director

Directing is the intellectual element that shapes the company's direction and focus. A director is responsible for the strategy, identifies the goals, and describes the ways in which the goals can be achieved

Leader

As a leader, you must make sure that employees are motivated to achieve their goals. This is the moral element, the medium-term perspective, and your style must be appropriate for the modern environment.

Manager

The role of the manager encompasses the daily business of enabling people to realise the strategy. Managing involves organising and planning strategy implementation and operations across companies, departments, and teams.
