NASA 4-Dimensional Leadership Course (Starting in July 2025)

YOU ARE ABOUT TO GET FOUR DIMENSIONAL

You may have seen footage of the explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster that rocked the world and wondered what happened?  The 7 astronaut fatalities and other subsequent failed missions led to senate inquiries and NASA’s eventual realisation that those disasters were due to social context, and not technical incompetence.

With this program, you learn how NASA became the Best Place to Work in federal government for the 12th year in a row. You will become a better leader with the 4-Dimensional Leadership program that has been voluntarily completed by over 1,500 NASA leaders and teams.

You will address the invisible settings that make up the social contract of high-performing teams and bypass the usual forming, storming, norming and performing* dramas that teams endure to become high-functioning.  NASA found that 8 practical behaviours enabled leaders to shift social context, build trust, and establish a compelling sense of shared purpose.

ACQUIRE 8 LEADERSHIP CAPABILITIES

The program develops eight leadership capabilities and candidates must apply all eight to a work or social situation to earn digital accreditation. They are:

1. Connect a team and create a sense of shared purpose.
2. Develop individuals relative to their idiosyncratic strengths.
3. Set and maintain individual boundaries and team standards.
4. Include appropriately, whilst avoiding over-inclusion.
5. Align role, accountability and authority to maximise autonomy.
6. Challenge dysfunctional beliefs with radical candour.
7. Acknowledge uncomfortable truths and drive optimistic change.
8. Co-create a compelling vision and communicate it effectively.

THIS IS FOR YOU  IF…

• You are a leader wanting to create the conditions for high performance in your team and the organisation as a whole.
• You are an HR professional seeking a world-class enhancement to your leadership programs.
• You are curious about how high-performing leaders and their teams are trained for the isolated, confined and extreme conditions of space.
