Duxium Season 1 Companion Guide

You’ve watched the Leadership content but are you actually becoming a better leader?

The Duxium Companion Guide is a 48-page structured leadership development workbook tied to the 30-episode Duxium video series by Boye Oloyede, The Leadership Blacksmith — Hupo School of Strategy.

Most executives consume leadership content the same way they consume Netflix — passively, comfortably, and with very little lasting change.

The Companion Guide was built for a different kind of leader. One who is willing to do the uncomfortable work that separates people who talk about leadership from people who actually practize it.

This is not a summary of the free video series. It is a separate, standalone product that goes deeper — and it will challenge you in ways the videos alone cannot

Over 6 weeks, across 4 leadership arcs, it takes you through the inner work that senior leaders must do and keep doing — especially in the African business environment where the pressure is real, the stakes are high, and most leadership frameworks were never designed with you in mind.

Inside the Guide, You’ll Find:

✅ 30 real-world scenarios set in African business contexts — manufacturing, banking, fintech, government, consulting, real estate, and more. These are not hypotheticals from a Harvard case study. They are situations you will recognise.

✅ 90 reflection questions — 3 per episode — designed to move you from passive understanding to active self-examination. These are the questions most leaders avoid. That’s exactly why they’re here.

✅ “Going Deeper” sections exclusive to this guide — frameworks, diagnostics, and tools that go beyond the free video content. The Circle of Influence model for executive decision-making. The three categories of leadership weakness. The four types of rest most high-performers are missing. The difference between a mentor and a sponsor. These tools are for serious application, not shelf decoration.

✅ The Duxium Leadership Index — a 30-question self-assessment you take before and after the season. The gap between your two scores is your measurable growth. It covers Foundation, People, Complexity, and Culture. It will show you exactly where you’re strong and exactly where you’ve been compensating.

✅ The Leadership Partner Protocol — a structured 6-week peer accountability framework. Not coaching. Not mentoring. A peer doing the same work at the same level of honesty, meeting weekly for 20 focused minutes. The protocol tells you who to pick, what to say, and what the ground rules are. This single element is responsible for more leadership growth than almost anything else in the guide.

✅ A 30-Day Progress Tracker to keep your commitment visible and your progress measurable.

This Guide Is For You If:

• You’re a senior leader, director, team lead, or founder who has consumed leadership content for years but suspects your actual practice hasn’t kept pace with your knowledge.
• You lead a team in Nigeria or across Africa and you’re tired of frameworks that don’t account for the real cultural, institutional, and ethical complexity of operating here.
• You want something to show for the next 6 weeks -not just videos watched, but genuine self-knowledge gained and real behaviour changed.
• You’re willing to write honestly, sit with discomfort, and do 10 focused minutes a day.
