Effective leadership is more than just management; a good leader offers direction to people, gets them to share their vision for the business, and aims to create conditions for them to achieve great results.

This programme focuses on exploring and mastering those skills that will take your leadership to the next level. Participants will gain valuable insight into what drives individual behaviour, how to pinpoint the cultural style of their organisation and understand its inherent cultural strengths and weaknesses. They will explore team dynamics in the context of the culture, look at functional and dysfunctional behaviour, and how dysfunctional behaviour can be reshaped. In these sessions, participants will learn how easy it is for the leader to unwittingly set people up for failure and how this can be avoided. They will investigate motivation, reward, and identify strategies to get the best from the team.

Who should attend?

  • Those who need a deeper understanding of individual behaviours and group dynamics
  • Those who need to hone their influencing skills to get results that matter
  • Those about to embark on leading a change programme within their organisation
