Are you committed to being a truly effective leader?
Most successful organisations now recognise that ‘your people are your pathway’ and willingly embrace the value of investing in them as a valued resource.
Building upon a culture that recognises the value of contribution, they now encourage people to ‘step up’ and take the opportunity to participate in programs like this and directly influence decisions that affect them and the future direction of their organisations.
Informed by values of inclusion, accountability, flexibility, contribution and connection, this program seeks to nourish the talent in your team and support participants to be ‘the very best they can be’.
How?
People that choose to fully participate in the program will learn individual and interpersonal skills and knowledge as to how to get the most out of themselves and effectively and ethically influence their peers.
Participants will be supported to connect with their personal passion and explore ways of accelerating their career by aligning the development of that passion with the growth of the organisation.
It is our hope that with through this experience you will come to realise that there is no place you’d rather be than as an integral part of the vision, mission and family within your own organisation.
Program Overview
With up to 12 participants in each cohort, the leadership development program is designed to build capacity in individual, interpersonal and intrapersonal effectiveness by teaching skills and strategies to promote better decision-making and behaviour.
We will teach leadership styles that help to maximise yours and others’ natural strengths, while equipping you to better address challenges that may arise from differences in approach, personality, or expectations when working toward a shared goal.
01. Self-Awareness & Resilience
Through a series of individual surveys, personalised feedback and tailored coaching sessions participants will learn their natural strengths and identify areas that may present challenges. This unit teaches skills for identifying and managing mental and emotional states and provides effective strategies to improve the quality of performance across diverse contexts.
This unit is comprised of:
- 360 degree survey and individual feedback session
- Half day Workshop:Awareness and State Management
The journey of effective leadership begins with self-leadership. This workshop teaches practical skills to better manage your own mental, emotional and physical states. You will learn how to identify physiological markers in yourself and others that can inform behaviour toward better outcomes.
02. Emotional Intelligence
Relationships are the key to success. In most cases EQ is now regarded as more important than IQ. Understanding the fundamentals of human connection and the tension that exists between our yearning for connection versus autonomy provides powerful insight into managing ourselves and others. This unit emphasises the importance of empathy and develops skills for building trust and positive sentiment that can become a foundation for better personal and working relationships.
This unit is comprised of:
2 x Half Day Workshops:
Identifying, Communicating and Responding to Needs
All behaviour is communication. All communication is a desire to have a need met. This workshop introduces a useful framework for identifying needs and responding to them in a way that strengthens relationships. The workshops will explore the power of empathy and it’s role in deepening rapport and cultivating positives synergies within teams.
03. Effective Communication
Effective communication skills provide a critical framework for successful outcomes in both personal and professional contexts. Learning skills to identify and respond to the needs of others while maintaining the integrity of individual and professional boundaries is a vital leadership skill. This stage of the program will focus upon ‘needs-based communication’ and the power of empathy as a tool for supporting and ethically influencing peers. It will also provide important frameworks for addressing conflict when it arises.
This unit is comprised of:
2 x Half Day Workshops:
Empathy, Negotiation & Managing Differences
Building upon the previous unit the focus is now upon how to use empathy to direct action, negotiate outcomes, manage differences, and resolve conflict. It will also explore defining and affirming roles and boundaries and their importance in effective leadership.
04. Designing Compelling Futures
A vision that inspires others to happily commit their time and energy toward fulfilling it requires several essential ingredients. More than just a strategic vision of the future, a leader must engage their teams to see themselves as a part of it. Applying the skills of emotional intelligence and effective communication participants will be challenged to construct and communicate a vision for the future that meets their personal and professional goals but also inspires others to want to get involved.
This unit is comprised of:
- Individual check-in session
- 1 x Half Day Workshop: Connecting with Core Drivers
05. Leadership Styles & Culture
Effectively leading others requires mental, emotional and behavioural flexibility and is best supported with a ‘toolkit’ of strategies that can be applied in different contexts. This unit covers leadership theories and practices and helps to identify appropriate leadership styles for different circumstances. It emphasises the value of inclusivity in decision-making, collaborative approaches to problem-solving, and methods for keeping individuals and teams motivated.
This unit is comprised of:
- 1 x Half Day Workshop: 7 Leadership Styles & Their Applications
06. Managing Time & Energy Effectively
Nature is constantly seeking the greatest outcome for the least expenditure of energy. Effective leaders are no different. Time and energy management needs to be considered across individual and team environments but also across the broader contexts within which an organisation exists. This unit covers systemic thinking, the power of managing your own attention, building better habits, minimising mistakes, and the value of feedback in all its forms.
This unit is comprised of:
- 1 x Half Day Workshop: Systems of Success
