Icon Principle is about accelerating the leadership of emerging leaders by harvesting the tacit wisdom of company and Industry Icons
Why?
Most Industry sectors face a significant turnover in leadership in the next 5-10 years; there is a risk that the talent of this leadership will be lost unless captured quickly.
Current leadership learning can usefully tap into the ‘know how…’ of those who have demonstrated capacity to lead.
Young professionals need access to Icons to enable their confidence to take on leadership responsibilities supported by an Industry network Companies and Industry sectors that value and invest in the retention of corporate knowledge have been demonstrated to accelerate their growth through strong leadership.
“What this program has contributed to me personally is more than I could have ever imagined, it totally exceeded all of my expectations. I have gained a greater sense of self awareness and understanding of my own ability to lead”

Icon Principle
Identifies emerging leaders in a company or Industry sector and involves them in processes to:
- Galvanise their own leadership potential through working with an Icon from their sector
- Gain greater awareness of their choices in ‘how to…’ apply leadership practices
- Participate in an active and productive industry network focused on the key issues
facing their Industry
Networking?
Icon Principle uses social media as a networking mechanism and all participants in our programs will be networked via our company blogs, web and conventional networking.
What are the benefits of tapping into the tacit wisdom of Icons?
The benefits include:
- Higher levels of appreciation of their own leadership potential
- Greater flexibility, adaptiveness and responsiveness to leadership issues
- Ability to apply the ‘how to…’ knowledge of others to problem solving and leading
- Ability to utilize a range of coping and adaptive strategies of leaders
- Ability to apply diverse ‘know how’ to key Industry issues
What are the risks of not accessing this tacit wisdom?
Without this where else will companies and Industries get the energy and commitment for emerging leaders to drive the passion and enthusiasm in their company and sector?
Companies that do not address the aspirations of their Rising Stars risk losing them to others who demonstrate that they are valued and are willing to invest in their growth and advancement.
"The VicWater Industry Leadership Program lives up to it's grand title. It was a rare opportunity (and indeed a privilege) to spend hours learning from a true industry icon (Prof John Langford) in such an open and honest environment. You cannot get this sort of experience by remote or on-line training. The program's true value was realised by working together with a small group of industry peers in the learning activities and networking sessions. Both the learnings and network will provide value long beyond the graduation."
