Leadership Pressure Test
Put your leadership challenges under pressure.
Every organisation has different leadership challenges.
The Leadership Pressure Test lets your organisation choose the situations your leaders need to work on. BCT then builds realistic scenarios around those challenges and puts your leaders under pressure to respond.
A practical 2-hour development session built around the challenges your leaders actually face.
Your organisation chooses the pressure points
You know where your leaders are feeling the pressure.
Maybe it’s:
Difficult conversations
Accountability
Addressing poor performance
Conflict with the crew
Holding standards
Communication breakdowns
Dealing with resistance
Managing former mates
Addressing unsafe or unacceptable behaviour
You choose the pressure point.
Button Consultancy & Training creates the pressure around it.
Built around your organisation
How It Works
01 – Identify
You tell us the leadership challenges you want your people to work on.
02 – Build
Button Consultancy & Training develops practical scenarios around those specific challenges.
03 – Pressure
Your leaders work through the scenarios live and respond to the situations as they unfold.
04 – Debrief
We unpack the leadership behaviours, decisions and responses that emerged.
THIS ISN'T GENERIC TRAINING
No generic leadership scenarios.
Your leaders aren’t being given a standard leadership workshop and asked to apply it to their workplace.
The workplace problem comes first.
Button Consultancy & Training takes the situations that matter to your organisation and turns them into practical leadership challenges.
Because leadership development is most useful when it’s built around what your leaders actually deal with.
WHAT CAN YOU PUT UNDER PRESSURE?
Choose the leadership challenge that matters to your organisation.
Accountability
What happens when a leader needs to address poor performance?
Difficult Conversations
Can your leaders deal with the uncomfortable issues directly?
Managing Former Mates
Can leaders make the shift from crew member to person in charge?
Standards & Expectations
What happens when a team member pushes back against the standard?
Conflict
How do leaders respond when tension starts affecting the crew?
Decision-Making
How do leaders respond when pressure demands a decision?
These are examples. Your organisation chooses the pressure points that matter.
THE PRESSURE TEST
We don’t just ask leaders what they do.
We put them in the situation
Participants are presented with realistic scenarios based on the challenges identified by your organisation.
They have to respond.
Make decisions.
Communicate.
Manage the situation.
And deal with the consequences of their decisions.
Then we stop and examine what happened – and why.
That’s where the development starts.
What Your Organisation Gets
A practical look at leadership capability under pressure.
The Leadership Pressure Test can help your organisation identify:
How leaders respond to pressure
Where leadership behaviours break down
Which situations leaders find difficult
Where consistency is lacking
What leadership development should focus on next
The goal isn’t to catch leaders out.
It’s to create a realistic environment where leadership capability can be developed.

Designed for the environments where leadership gets tested.
