A Flagship ACELearn Program for Executive Leadership Teams

Dynamic Leadership Teams is ACEL’s flagship executive program for Principals and Senior Leadership Teams who want to strengthen how they lead together — not just individually.

Designed specifically for Executive Leadership Teams, this program goes beyond individual capability building to focus on what research shows matters most: how leadership teams are designed, launched and coached to perform in complex, high-pressure environments.

Grounded in the globally recognised 6 Team Conditions™ framework from Harvard University, Dynamic Leadership Teams gives school leaders the edge — sharper thinking, better decisions, stronger trust, sustainable leadership impact and member wellbeing.

Why Dynamic Leadership Teams?

Australian Principals are leading in unprecedented conditions — rising complexity, competing priorities, operational overload and intense community expectations. In this environment, the effectiveness of the executive team is no longer optional — it is mission critical.

High-performing leadership teams are better at:

  • Solving complex, system-wide problems
  • Balancing strategic leadership with operational demands
  • Supporting leader wellbeing and preventing burnout
  • Driving sustained improvement in teaching and learning

Dynamic Leadership Teams helps you (re)design your leadership team to meet today’s realities — and tomorrow’s challenges.

What Makes This Program Different?

Designed exclusively for Executive Leadership Teams

This is not a generic ‘team building’ program. It is tailored for Principals, Deputy Principals, Heads of School and Executive Leaders who carry whole-school responsibility.

Science-backed, not theory-heavy

Built on the 6 Team Conditions™, the world’s leading evidence-based framework for team effectiveness — used across education, government and Fortune 500 organisations.

Highly practical and school-contextualised

Your leadership team works on your real challenges, not simulations.

Sustainable, not one-off

Combines diagnosis, (re)launch and ongoing coaching to embed lasting change.

Program Overview

The Program Experience

Dynamic Leadership Teams is delivered as a coaching and development partnership with your school.

The program includes:

  • Initial diagnosis using the international Team Diagnostic Survey + leadership interviews
  • A (re)launch workshop to align purpose, roles, ways of working and decision-making
  • Ongoing team coaching to strengthen trust and collective leadership
  • A 6-month pulse survey to track progress and impact

This structured, evidence-based approach makes improvement measurable and sustained.

Outcomes for Your School

By the end of the program, your leadership team will:

  • Lead with greater clarity and cohesion
  • Make stronger, faster strategic decisions
  • Reduce unproductive tension and overload
  • Build collective responsibility for whole-school outcomes
  • Strengthen wellbeing and sustainability
