Leadership and Leading Change

This fast pace experiential leadership development programme helps leaders understand their own style and preferences when leading others - then to recognise situations where borrowing another style would generate a better outcome.

Core Learning Outcomes

• Understand the difference between a Manager and a Leader
• Understand their own leadership style and preference
• Understand their leadership ‘blind spots’ or areas of least priority
• Understand their leadership strengths and overplayed strengths
• Understand how others perceive their leadership style through 360 degree feedback
• Understand their own and others expectations of their role as a leader
• Be able to borrow behaviours from other leadership styles to be more effective
• Understand their own conflict style and how to manage and resolve conflict confidently and effectively.

The experiential learning will also help participants to understand;

• The impact that a top-down management style has on the moral, effectiveness, and productivity of everyone in the organisation
• The way groups in the organisation respond to and view the “same” situation differently
• Successfully lead and manage organisational change
• The importance of developing the special communication skills required of a leader
• The importance of knowing how to effectively deal with the complaints and concerns of the people they are leading
• How the structure and practices of the organisation affect the employees both positively and negatively
• How important it is for a leader to constantly be evaluating the practices of the work culture and seeking ways to improve them
• The importance of viewing the leaders’ behaviour through the eyes of the various stakeholders
• The skills they need to develop to become a more effective leader

Suitable for

• New Managers and Supervisors

• Technical people who have been promoted into leadership positions without managerial training 
• Managers who have lost their motivation to be effective leaders
• Any person who needs to know how to lead change, resolve conflicts, develop higher order thinking skills, develop one’s personal leadership style, and understand which behaviour and attitudes make him or her effective.
• Participants who need to understand that leadership requires much more than just being nice to people or working hard to achieve personal goals.
