FranklinCovey Executive Leadership Series
Multiplying Talent &
Leading at the Speed of Trust

13 - 14 July 2026 | Ritz-Carlton Kuala Lumpur
When leaders unlock the capability already within their teams and build high-trust environments, organisations move faster without adding headcount or budget.
THE LEADERSHIP PARADOX
Most organisations already have capable people.
Yet many senior leaders still experience:
- Execution moving slower than strategy
- Innovation constrained by leadership bottlenecks
- Teams waiting for direction instead of owning outcomes
- Capability that remains underutilised
The issue is rarely talent.
It is leadership performance.
The difference between potential and performance comes down to two leadership strengths:
Leaders who multiply intelligence
and
leaders who build trust that accelerates execution.
WHY THIS MATTERS NOW
In an environment where:
Hiring constraints limit growth options
Hybrid work demands new trust models
Competitive pressure requires faster execution
Leadership behaviour becomes the primary lever for organisational performance.
Leaders who fail to build high-trust, high-capability environments risk slower execution, disengaged teams, and strategic misalignment.
PROGRAMME OVERVIEW
Two Proven Leadership Frameworks.
One Executive Experience.
This executive programme connects Multipliers and Leading at the Speed of Trust into a cohesive leadership system designed to unlock capability and accelerate execution.
Multiplying Talent
Leaders explore how their behaviour either expands or limits team intelligence.
Key practices include:
- Understanding the Multiplier Effect and Intelligence Tax
- Asking questions that expand thinking
- Unlocking individual genius
- Creating ownership and contribution
- Challenging teams to build capability
Day 2
Leading at the Speed of Trust
Leaders learn how trust directly impacts execution speed and organisational performance.
Key concepts include:
- Trust Taxes vs Trust Dividends
- The 4 Cores of Credibility
- The 13 Behaviours of High Trust Leaders
- Building cultures where collaboration and decisions move faster
The Integration
The intelligence and capability unlocked through Multiplier leadership must be supported by trust to be sustained. This intensive explicitly connects Multiplier leadership practices with high-trust behaviours to create lasting performance improvement.
