Why Most Frontline Managers Struggle
Every HR and L&D leader knows the pain:
Newly promoted managers drowning in people issues.
Supervisors managing for years without ever learning the fundamentals of leading themselves and others.
Team leaders burning out because they’re reactive, not confident.
Identified Future Leaders having to wait until they are in their roles before developing their skills and behaviours.
The result?
Disengaged teams, higher turnover, and wasted promotions.
You don’t need another leadership program that changes nothing or sustains the wrong behaviours and attitudes.
You need a process that develops capability, shifts behaviour, and sticks in the workplace.
What Leaders Gain When They Step Through the Program
The Principles of Leadership develops managers who can:
Lead with clarity, not confusion and low self-awareness.
Delegate effectively and free up time.
More proactively handle conflict and performance conversations with confidence.
Build resilience and maintain productivity under pressure.
Grow engaged teams that deliver results and stay longer.
Most participants complete the program within 12-14 weeks, but the impact lasts for years.
A Program Built for Practical Impact
Most leadership programs fail because they’re:
One-off events with no reinforcement
Irrelevant or too theoretical to apply
Overly time-consuming and impractical
The Principles of Leadership works differently:
7-module process that builds from foundation to application.
Learners set their own pace, but the design guides them through a practical sequence that sticks.
Weekly nudges and tools (optional) keep momentum moving.
Real-world focus: participants apply each module directly to their current leadership challenges and opportunities.
Available as a pure eLearning or a Coach-Supported learning journey to benefit from human support.
This is why participants don’t just learn leadership.
They become leaders.

Frequently Asked Questions
We know committing to something new can feel overwhelming, so we’re here to clear up any concerns you have.
Who is Grey Matta Academy?
Grey Matta Academy is the platform-enabled arm of Grey Matta Solutions. We’ve distilled 10+ years of IP and real-world learnings into practical leadership programs used across industries and all levels of government in 7 countries. Principles of Leadership is our flagship course for Emerging and Team Leaders/Supervisors. Everything is built for real-world application (short lessons, tools, templates, optional 1:1 coaching) and easy rollout by HR/L&D. If you need vendor details for procurement (ABN, insurances, references), we can provide them on request.
Is this program only for newly promoted managers?
No. It’s designed for anyone leading people — whether brand new to leadership or managing for years without formal training. The principles apply across levels and industries.
How much time will it take my leaders to complete?
The program is self-paced. Most participants complete the 7 modules within 12–14 weeks, but they can go faster or slower depending on their workload. Modules are short and designed to fit into the flow of work, and they have access to the materials for 12 months.
Can my organisation sign up multiple people at once?
Yes! We work with councils, departments, and businesses to support group enrolments and build confident leadership pipelines. Contact us for a tailored rollout plan.
How is this different from other leadership courses?
Most programs are one-off, theoretical, or overwhelming. Ours is structured for practical application — each module builds on the last and includes tools to apply immediately. The focus is behaviour change, not box-ticking.
What if my leaders don’t apply what they learn?
The program is built for real-world application. Every module has exercises tied directly to their current role. With the coach-supported option, accountability and embedding are further reinforced.
Is it scalable for teams?
Absolutely. The self-paced option works for large groups, while the coach-supported option adds depth for smaller cohorts or high-potential talent.
What industries is this suited for?
Leadership challenges are universal. The program has been designed to work across sectors — from corporate offices to frontline teams.
How quickly can we roll this out?
Participants can be enrolled into the next monthly intake (on the first Monday of each month), which gives you the flexibility and planning of when best suits your participant/s to begin their journey.
What if our budget is limited?
That’s why we offer two paths: the self-paced option for scalable, cost-effective development, and the coach-supported path for deeper development with more ROI.
What kind of results should I expect?
Sponsors consistently report that leaders come out more confident, handle people issues more effectively, and free up time to focus on "strategic" work - leading to stronger teams and measurable business impact.
