When an organisation needs to raise its game, it needs
transformational leadership. The transformational leader raises
their own and others motivation through expressing a sense of higher
purpose. The higher purpose is one in which the aims and aspirations
of leaders and followers blend into one. The transforming leader
seeks to engage the follower as a whole person, and not simply as
an individual with a restricted range of basic needs. Such a leader
achieves this by inspiring, by questioning paradigms and stretching
the aspirations of others.
Transformational Leadership is a style which in part can be learned
and in part comes from an attitude to business which is more
difficult to acquire. This two hour workshop will show when and
why it is important for your leaders to use this style and how you
can help them to develop it.
When a team works effectively together their potential and their
output far exceeds that which individuals can accomplish on their
own. Building such a high performance team requires an understanding
of individual differences, group dynamics, effective leadership,
excellent communication and how to integrate individual skills to
achieve organisational goals.
Over the two hours you will explore the stages of team development;
learn how to select individuals who will complement each others
strengths; how to integrate individual strengths to create a team
environment that results in outstanding performance; and how to
identify and prevent the causes of team malfunctioning.
Change affects every aspect of business – the people, the processes and the strategies.
Change initiatives are ever more necessary as companies strive to become even more
competitive. It is vital that the organisation has the change management skills
to deliver success.
During this two hour seminar we will explore the key skills
of managing change. These include: leading people through periods of ambiguity and
uncertainty; removing the barriers to change; creating strategies to deal with resistance
and anxiety; and taking a structured approach to change management.
What would an independent assessment of your management team do for you?
Just like a financial audit, management audits provide
an objective, fact-based method to identify key strengths
and limitations within your management population.
It provides the ideal base for helping executive teams
to decide if they have the right combination of individuals
to reach their strategic goals.
Over two hours you will hear how other organisations have used management
audits to establish succession plans; benchmark themselves
against other organisations; identify strengths, gaps and underused
abilities within the management team; merge management teams during
acquisitions and to plan executive development programmes.
Managers need to be able to change others’ attitudes and behaviour
through their own interpersonal skills, including getting on with
people, fitting in, understanding other people’s motives and goals
and presenting ideas in persuasive ways. Influencing others has a
major impact on every aspect of a manager’s job.
In a period of two hours participants will be introduced to the key
principle of influencing; adapting influencing styles for different
people; and avoiding conflict through assertiveness.
