The program is especially designed for young founders and consists of 4 modules: Good Leadership, Challenges & Resilience, Communication and Team Management. During the workshops several experts will guide you through topics like self- leadership, authentic leadership, psychological safety, leadership experiences, appreciative communication, body language and self-management. The online sessions with successful founders will give you great insights. We managed to provide the participants with a digital leadership simulation experience accompanying the program. The online tool offers you the opportunity to experience your own leadership behavior in complex, realistic situations as well as a wide range of experiences and the space to reflect on them.

All founders with high personal motivation, and leadership potential, who have their first employees already in place or planned for the near future. Additionally, the foundation of your startup should not be longer than five years ago. Applications from female founders are highly appreciated.

We select scholars based on their motivation, their leadership potential and the group fit. However, we only have a limited number of scholarships. If you were able to convince us in your application, we will invite you to an online interview. We will then inform you whether you will receive the program scholarship. If all places are taken, we will let you know if you made it on the waiting list and inform you as early as possible if you can move up and join the Leadership Talent Academy. In case you won’t make it into the program, we would be pleased about your application for the next batch.

Yes, this is one of our requirements. To get the most out of the program, physical attendance is very important. We believe in the benefits of peer learning and consider personal exchange with the other founders, experts, coaches, and our community. Therefore, all scholars agree to fully participate in the events and workshops on-site at Bildungscampus Heilbronn at Campus Founders. To engage with the program, we expect clearing your calendar during these days to give yourself space and energy to focus on the LTA program. We are convinced that the exchange in our space will provide you with incredible added value. That’s why we expect you to attend all workshops and events in person. The Digital Leadership Simulation will be online. The personal coaching sessions take place online or on site, depending on the coach.
