Developing leadership skills

Custom designed:

Quality, in-house training for your organisation’s needs

Overview:

It has been said that the business world is full of competent managers, but there are a much smaller number of individuals that successfully combine their management skills with strong leadership skills. This thought provoking and practical programme helps managers understand what it is to be a leader. Using a mixture of theory, case studies and an online leadership 360 assessment participants are able to plan and deliver significant advances in their capabilities as a leader.

Creating a bespoke leadership programme:

Clients often ask us to run this day’s training as the first module of a comprehensive  programme including modules such as “Performance coaching and mentoring”, “Leading and Developing Teams”, “Managing Change” and “Action Learning Sets”

Developing leadership skills

“In my enthusiasm and intensity I will very often push people to the limits of their capabilities – and that must entail a certain degree of risk.  The great thing is that the risk pays off when that person suddenly finds something in themselves they didn’t know was there.”

Sir Georg Solti, Orchestral conductor

Training Style:

Interactive, enjoyable  and thought provoking. The workshop uses inputs from the course leader, group and individual exercises, and simulated interviews
