PROGRAMME AIM:
We know from experience that changing organisation behaviour is hard to achieve. Around 75% of organisational change programmes fail because attitudes and behaviours remain the same.
This highly interactive programme will show you, through models and practical exercises, how to develop your capacity to influence others. Learning from your own and other people’s experience, you will gain insights into the ways your thinking and behaviour impact on people and organisation performance. The programme will enable you to become an agent of change by moving from a power to a service model of leadership. It will guide you in ways of empowering your team to contribute more and make change effective.
Many of today’s leaders are faced with a wide range of challenging and complex issues; they need to have a blend of knowledge, skills and tools to assist them in ensuring their organisation is equipped to achieve their objectives and outcomes successfully.
Also today’s leaders now need to be much more proactive and aware of global implications, culture and the need to continuously reflect on their critical role. Therefore, leaders need to be more astute in how they lead their organisation. Leaders need to be aware of what is occurring in their sector and able to benchmark against their competitors as well as ensuring that they are leading by example.
Working in a highly volatile world brings new challenges and a need for up to date skills to stay at the forefront in this ever changing world of leadership is critical.
This high-level practical programme for leaders will encourage individuals to explore their own personal development as well as offering a supportive peer-learning environment with small group discussions as well as a range of leadership models to explore. Being a leader is a very difficult role in the current climate and the need to succeed in this role has now become more of a focus point for many organisations.
