A great leader attracts great people and knows how to hold them together with motivation.
This course will help you develop your leadership style and effectiveness, examining leadership from three perspectives:
1 Yours - understanding and developing the skills and characteristics you have and how you use them.
2 Your team’s - how team members may perceive you and the effect you have on them and they on you.
3 How your leadership impacts on the organisation as a whole. Discover how to drive the organisational vision?
Understanding leadership is finding a working balance between these three potentially conflicting perspectives and becoming flexible in your leadership approach to be able to meet the changing needs, both inside your business and wider in society.
What are you and the people you lead truly capable of?
Do you want them always be the same or do you want to influence their development to support the leader’s vision?
This course will allow you to explore these questions and develop practical strategies to build upon your leadership character. The action planning at the end of the day will focus on your contribution to these three perspectives - you, the team and the organisation.
