Leadership Development Programme Contents and Outcomes
Why invest in Leadership Excellence?
​
When teams are low on trust or showing other signs of poor health, you’ll often see these symptoms.
-
Sub-groups have side conversations instead of talking about problems with the whole team. Communication breakdowns are common.
-
Executive leaders dont present as one team to the rest of the organisation and dont have a shared strategic vision.
-
Expectations are unclear and no-one knows if they’ve done enough. People are very busy and often stressed, but not always effective.
-
Systems, processes and compliance are the main focus, not tools that help guide execution. Decision making processes are slow or painful.
-
No-one gets feedback OR it happens via blame/shame. We avoid conflict and hard conversations, talking about people instead of talking to them.
-
There’s a perception of ‘inner circles’ and favouritism, including unfair allocation of resources and executive attention.
​
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​It’s hard to align team behaviours with organisational strategy and there’s high turnover of both staff and executives. The organisation under-performs and often misses important targets. At the same time, budgets are over-spent but not enough gets done. Executives push harder on performance, which takes them away from the very thing they should be working on – creating a healthy team.
​
I can help with that.
Building the right leadership capability for the right reasons is the most important part of any leadership development program. We take the time to understand your strategic intent, overall direction for the business and what this means for the customers that you serve.
From there we can design a blended leadership development program that maximises the breadth and depth of our leadership experts and partners. This may include online leadership courses, an extensive suite of leadership training modules for leadership development and high performance teams, combined with ongoing executive coaching and supporting leadership tools.
Alternatively, if you have an immediate challenge that needs to be fixed right now, our individual leadership development courses include topics such as managing and leading change, building resilience, feedback and coaching skills, building high performance teams, decision making, performance management conversations and conflict resolution.
We are also an accredited provider of the Coaching on the Go™ Leadership Development and the DRIVEN PR6 Resilience Coaching program, which encourages Resilience and impact in leadership as the most effective way to build trust.
