# The Leadership Track

> A twelve-month arc for one leadership team. Align in month one, get tested under pressure in month seven, and be coached individually in between.

Package N-03 from Offsyte, corporate recreation in the UAE · [Annual Programmes](https://offsyte.ae/catalog/annual-engagement-programmes/) · Web page: https://offsyte.ae/packages/the-leadership-track/

- **Duration:** 12 months
- **Ideal start time:** Month 1 of the client's planning year, so the commitments land where the business plans
- **Departure window:** Any month; the arc is built around the client's cycle
- **Group size:** 10 min — 30 max
- **Emirate / venue:** Dubai or Abu Dhabi — hotel meeting suites; the farm option applies to the Alignment Day
- **Season:** Year-round
- **Booking lead time:** 60 days to programme start — the pre-work and the scenario design

## Price per person, excluding 5% VAT

| Group size | Per person | Billed for at least |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| 10–14 people | AED 6,600 | 17 people |
| 15–24 people | AED 5,800 | 19 people |
| 25–30 people | AED 5,200 | — |

A group smaller than a band's "billed for at least" figure is still served, and is invoiced for that many people.
Where a larger band costs less in total, it is quoted instead: groups of 10–14 are billed as 19 people at the rate for 15–24 people; groups of 23–24 are billed as 25 people at the rate for 25–30 people.

Payment: 50% advance on signature. 100% cleared 3 working days before the event. Numbers lock 7 days prior.

## Why this is not the retail version

Bought separately, the two major days alone are **K-01 at AED 890 and K-03 at AED 1,450** for a team of fifteen — AED 2,340 a person. Add two follow-ups at AED 6,500 each and coaching for four people at AED 4,200 each, and the à la carte total for fifteen people is around **AED 5,200 a person.** This is AED 5,800. **It is a premium, and it buys three things.**

**The commitment record.** Every commitment made in month one is tracked through months four, seven, ten and twelve — with its owner, its date, and what actually happened. **That single artefact is what separates a leadership programme from four good days.** The standard failure of every offsite is that the wall photograph is the last anyone sees of it; here it is the input to the next session, and the room knows that in advance, which changes what people commit to in the first place.

**The sequence, which cannot be bought piecemeal.** Align in month one, then get tested in month seven on the operating agreements you wrote. **The Crisis Room scenario is built to stress the specific decisions this team said it would make differently** — that is only possible because the same practitioner ran the Alignment Day and read the interviews. Two separate bookings, even from us, do not produce it.

**And the same facilitator for twelve months.** A practitioner who has interviewed everyone confidentially, watched them commit, watched what happened, and then watched them under simulated pressure knows things about that team that no single engagement surfaces.

**Sell it to one leadership team, once, against a planning cycle.** Not to a department, not to high-potentials, and never to more than thirty people.

## Included

- Programme design and confidential one-to-one interviews with every participant
- Profiling instrument with group debrief
- [K-01 The Alignment Day](K-01-the-alignment-day.md) in full — senior facilitator, hotel day delegate package, written outputs pack
- [K-03 The Crisis Room](K-03-the-crisis-room.md) in full — bespoke scenario, three-person control room, breakout AV, filmed press conference, decision review pack
- Two half-day follow-up sessions at months 4 and 10
- Individual executive coaching — three sessions each for four nominated participants
- Four quarterly reviews with the sponsor
- A named account manager across the year
- All catering, AV, materials and capture at every session
- A running commitment record — every commitment made, its owner, its date, and what happened to it

## Not included

- Additional coaching participants beyond four (see add-ons)
- Overnight or international formats (see add-ons)
- Psychometric certification for the client's own staff
- 5% VAT

## Weather and backup plan

- **Trigger:** None — fully indoor throughout.
- **Fallback:** Venue failure at any session moves to a contracted alternate. The facilitator is the single point of failure across a twelve-month programme, and the contracted named backup is briefed on the interviews and the commitment record from month zero — not called in month seven. Control-room failure on the Crisis Room means we reschedule that session, per K-03's own rule, and that rule is ours rather than the client's.
- **You are told by:** Immediate, to the sponsor, by the named account manager.

## Customisation options

- Additional coaching participants: AED 4,200 each
- Run the Alignment Day at a farmhouse instead of a hotel: Priced on [C-04](C-04-the-working-retreat.md)
- Run the mid-year day as an international retreat: Priced on [L-04](L-04-alpine-board-retreat.md)
- Board observer track at the Crisis Room: AED 4,800
- Third follow-up session: AED 6,500
- Team effectiveness survey at months 1 and 12: AED 4,200/year
- Extended media training before the Crisis Room: AED 380/person
- Two-year term: −5% on the annual value

## Questions about The Leadership Track

AED 6,600 per person for 10–14 people; AED 5,800 per person for 15–24 people; AED 5,200 per person for 25–30 people. All figures exclude 5% VAT. A group below a band's minimum chargeable size is billed at that minimum: 17 people in the 10–14 band, 19 people in the 15–24 band. Where a larger band costs less in total, it is quoted instead: groups of 10–14 are billed as 19 people at the rate for 15–24 people; groups of 23–24 are billed as 25 people at the rate for 25–30 people.

### How long does The Leadership Track take, and when does it start?

12 months. Ideal start: Month 1 of the client's planning year, so the commitments land where the business plans. Departure window: Any month; the arc is built around the client's cycle.

### What is not included in The Leadership Track?

Additional coaching participants beyond four (see add-ons); Overnight or international formats (see add-ons); Psychometric certification for the client's own staff; 5% VAT. These are stated before enquiry rather than raised at invoice time.

### What happens to The Leadership Track if the weather turns?

Trigger: None — fully indoor throughout. Fallback: Venue failure at any session moves to a contracted alternate. The facilitator is the single point of failure across a twelve-month programme, and the contracted named backup is briefed on the interviews and the commitment record from month zero — not called in month seven. Control-room failure on the Crisis Room means we reschedule that session, per K-03's own rule, and that rule is ours rather than the client's. You are told: Immediate, to the sponsor, by the named account manager.

### How far in advance do we need to book The Leadership Track?

The booking lead time is 60 days to programme start — the pre-work and the scenario design. Ramadan and December dates book out first.
