Accelerating the developmental capacity of leaders across Australia and New Zealand’s most significant private, public, and social sector institutions

McKinsey is a global thought leader in contemporary leadership theory and practice. We are one of the largest providers of leadership development in the world, with 1000+ client engagements on leadership capability building globally over the past five years, developing over 30,000 leaders across sectors.

McKinsey Australia and New Zealand is an innovation hub for McKinsey’s leadership development offerings globally. For close to a decade, we have offered two industry-leading programs for the top talent of Australia and New Zealand's most prominent organisations: the Executive Leadership Program (ELP), and the Rising Leaders Forum (RLF, formerly known as Young Leaders Forum).

These programs bring together McKinsey experts, seasoned executives, and faculty from leading academic institutions and industry across the world to share the latest thinking, spark 'breakthrough' moments of personal insight, develop practical leadership skills, facilitate peer learning and build networks that last well beyond the programs themselves. ​

Participants in McKinsey's Leadership Development programs must be nominated by their organisations. For more details on these programs and their availability, see below.
