    • Apply the knowledge and skills gained during the program in practical, measurable ways
    • Enhance career ownership, accountability, and visibility across teams and leadership

    To bridge the gap between theoretical training and real-world leadership practice, SayPro has implemented a structured initiative encouraging employees to lead small-scale, team-based projects. These projects serve as an experiential learning platform where newly acquired skills in delegation, decision-making, and conflict resolution are applied in live, outcome-driven scenarios.

    Program Objective

    The initiative aims to:

    • Provide hands-on leadership experience in a controlled, supportive environment.
    • Enhance team management, planning, and accountability capabilities.
    • Foster innovation and ownership, particularly among emerging leaders.
    • Prepare employees for larger leadership roles and organizational responsibilities.

    Structure of the Small-Scale Project Experience

    Each participant is given the opportunity to:

    • Lead a cross-functional team of 3–6 members.
    • Define project goals and deliverables, based on a real organizational challenge or opportunity.
    • Delegate tasks, manage timelines, and facilitate team collaboration.
    • Conduct weekly check-ins and a final presentation to stakeholders from the SayPro Development Strategic Partnerships Office.

    Project types include:

    • Internal process improvements
    • Community outreach initiatives
    • Training module design
    • Digital platform enhancements

    • Performance is assessed using a Leadership Practice Rubric, focusing on initiative, collaboration, and results delivery.

    • 48 small-scale projects successfully led by training participants this quarter.
    • 92% of participants reported improved confidence in leadership roles.
