Insights Discovery For Leaders
Our 2-day leadership program for leaders and leadership teams at all levels.
Bring out your best as a leader!
This customized program is designed for small groups of leaders within the same organization who want to explore and increase the effectiveness of their leadership styles.
Leadership is not the same as management. The best leaders inspire and motivate by promoting a compelling vision and developing and communicating shared goals and common values.
The program uses the Insights Discovery Instrument as a foundation for exploring different leadership styles. It is designed to be highly interactive, using role-plays, and group exercises, with space for individual work and reflection, along with varied presentation formats. Participants experience how their personal leadership style affects others and learn to consciously adapt their style(s) depending on the situation.

Online Evaluator
Approximately 2 weeks prior to the program, participants will be invited to complete the Insights Discovery online evaluator. Completing the evaluator is confidential and takes approximately 15-20 minutes.
The resulting profiles are given to participants during the program. They contain a range of personal information and are treated confidentially. If an Insights Discovery profile is disclosed, this should only be done at the request of the participant. Nevertheless, we usually find that participants feel very comfortable sharing the results with each other. This is probably because profiles do not differentiate between better or worse results, but highlight neutral, but important, differences in people’s behaviour and preferences.
Example Profile
We can deliver this program either in a virtual format or as a face-to-face session on-site or at an external venue.

FAQ
How does Insights® Discovery support leaders in managing their teams?
Leaders gain deeper understanding of their team members’ needs, working styles, and motivations. This enables more adaptive leadership, clearer communication, and stronger employee engagement.
What does the 2-day leadership programme with Insights® Discovery encompass?
The two-day programme combines the personalised Insights® Discovery leadership profile with practical leadership content. It focuses on self-perception and how others perceive you, situational leadership, and communicating with different personality types. The second day applies these insights directly to day-to-day leadership practice and concludes with an individual development plan.
As a manager, how do I prepare for the Insights Discovery programme?
The most important part of your preparation is completing the online questionnaire in advance – it takes around 15–20 minutes and forms the basis for your personal leadership profile.
No further preparation is required; treetrunk will guide you through all the relevant steps before the programme begins.
Can the leadership programme also run online?
Yes. treetrunk offers the leadership programme using Insights® Discovery both as a face-to-face course and entirely online. The virtual format is equivalent in terms of content and allows participants to take part regardless of their location.
Who is the Insights® Discovery leadership programme suitable for?
The programme is aimed at managers at all levels of experience – from new managers looking to develop their own style to experienced leaders seeking fresh perspectives. Leadership teams wishing to work together to strengthen their leadership culture and collaboration will also benefit from this format.
What distinguishes manager coaching from leadership coaching using Insights® Discovery?
Manager coaching focuses on operational competence – structures, processes and efficiency. Leadership coaching with Insights® Discovery goes deeper: it develops one’s personality as a leader, refines one’s external impact and strengthens the ability to engage and inspire people in the long term, rather than simply managing them.
