Visual, Fast Leadership Course Built for Real Work at F.learning

1. The Problem

We saw it happening again and again.

Leaders were overloaded, decisions were slow, and the team couldn’t move without checking back in.

Not because they didn’t care. But because we never really taught them how to lead — with time, clarity, and structure.

That’s where the LnD team stepped in. We built a course that helps leaders let go of the right things, own what matters, and set their teams up to work better — without burning out.

2. The Real Goal for Our Leadership Course

We didn’t just want another leadership theory. We wanted something our leaders could use next week.

And the solution turns out: The Mini-Course 1: Strategic Execution for Leaders — a short, focused program to help team leads:

• Spend time on what really matters
• Delegate without feeling guilty
• Build simple systems so things keep moving — even when they’re not around

But here’s the twist:

• We didn’t build it around generic leadership theory
• We built it around what leaders were actually struggling with.

3. How We Made Learning Stick

3.1. Show the Cost of Staying in Control

We opened up with everyday pain points:

• Endless check-ins
• Overloaded calendars
• Tasks no one owns but everyone touches

Instead of just telling leaders what to do, we helped them see what they were doing — and what it was costing the team.

3.2. Turn Concepts into Clear Visuals

We visualized key tools so they were easy to apply:

• Circle of Control, Influence, Concern — to help leaders focus their energy
• Empowerment Reflection Template — to decide which tasks to keep, share, or delegate
• System vs. Supervision Thinking — to shift from “approve everything” to “design once, then step back”
• …

3.3. Use Stories to Trigger Self-Reflection

In each session, we used comics and short examples:

“I still join every client meeting…” → We showed how that slows growth — and what a better setup looks like.

Paired with simulation prompts, leaders could quickly map the content to their own habits.

3.4. Built by Our LnD Team. Based on What We Live Every Day

We designed everything in-house:

From the learning structure to the visuals, comics, and reflection tools.

We used:

• Learning science to make things stick
• Comics and real stories to make things feel real
• Visuals to turn abstract ideas into “got it” moments

And we cut 50% of the usual fluff.

No long theory. Just what you need to lead better.

4. The Key Takeaways

4.1. What Changed After the Course

This wasn’t about theory. It was about real shifts in how our team leads work:

• They delegated tasks they’d held onto for too long
• They designed small systems to avoid repeat approvals
• They spoke a new language: → “Is this mine to own or ours to co-own?” → “Do I really need to be in that meeting?”

And most of all:

“I feel like I’m finally leading, not just managing fires.”

4.2. Why It Works (and Why We’re Sharing This)

Our learning team built this with two goals:

• Help our own team move faster, with less stress
• Show what’s possible when learning design meets visual thinking

We didn’t just teach leadership.

We made it visible. Relatable. Doable.

4.3. What It Looks Like

Training Decks

Clean. To the point. Every slide answers: “Why should I care?”

Scenario Comics

Little stories that make leaders laugh — and think:

“Wait… am I doing that?”

Our comic on the Empowerment Template became a team favorite. In one frame, it explains what to own, share, and let go. Simple. Clear. Click.
