Leadership Development for Emerging Leaders

Develop Leaders Who Move Your Business Forward

Great companies don’t just rely on strong leadership at the top. They build leaders at every level.

ITS Leaders is designed for emerging and mid-level leaders who need to step up, take ownership, communicate more effectively, and navigate the real challenges that come with leadership inside your organization.

Through practical, real-world learning and shared experiences, your team doesn’t just learn leadership. They apply it immediately in the moments that matter most.

Our Charge Meeting—which is at no cost to you—helps you determine the best way to move forward and take action with confidence.

What ITS Leaders Helps You Do

Develop Leaders Who Step Up

Equip emerging leaders with the confidence and skills to step up, take ownership, and lead within your organization.

Improve Communication & Trust

Build focus, accountability, and consistency across your organization so priorities actually get done.

Break Through Leadership Bottlenecks

Reduce dependency on top leadership by building capable leaders who can delegate well, navigate conflict, and move work forward.

Increase Accountability at Every Level

Help leaders take responsibility for outcomes, follow through on what matters most, and build accountability from within.

A Proven Process for Developing Leaders

ITS Leaders is not a one-time workshop or leadership seminar. It’s a structured development experience designed to help emerging leaders grow through practical application, peer learning, and real-world accountability.

Every cohort begins with a Charge Meeting to align stakeholders, identify goals, and ensure the right people are in the room. From there, participants move through a guided development path built to strengthen communication, accountability, leadership confidence, and organizational impact.

Joe Jurec

ITS Coach

Joe co-created ITS Leaders because he needed it before he knew it existed. He’s a father, a builder, and someone who has done the hard work of rebuilding himself – attributing much of that to the principles, tools, and models that are now part of the ITS Leaders program, and now helps leaders do the same.

His background runs through Sony, Sears, energy trading, and two SaaS companies. He’s led teams, created culture from scratch, and learned most of his best lessons the expensive way. Since 2016 he’s worked exclusively in the entrepreneurial space, where leadership theory meets Monday morning and one usually loses.

He facilitates the way buffalo move, toward the storm, not away from it. His Kolbe is 5-3-9-2: built to read a room, adapt to what’s actually happening, and move before the blueprint is finished. Direct and pattern-oriented, he’s unwilling to let a room stay comfortable when something honest is below the surface. He believes vulnerability is strength and that leaders go first, so he models that tone to connect authentically and create an opening for others.

Why Work With CultureShoc

Our ITS Leaders programs are built on real-world experience, not theory.

We don’t just teach leadership concepts—we create an environment where leaders actively engage, challenge each other, and apply what they’re learning in real time. Every session is designed to maximize participation, retention, and real-world impact.

With a focus on practical tools, peer learning, and accountability, leaders leave each session with clear actions and the expectation to follow through. The result is stronger skills, greater confidence, and more accountability and ownership from within.
