Leaders for the Future

Many middle professionals have a wealth of experience at handling day to day management issues and are now ready for a bigger challenge. Are there extra skills they need to acquire to prepare them for the next level of leadership? This programme is about exploring and mastering those skills and knowledge that will comfortably take you to the next level of competence – from professional to leader. It will give you a real insight into what drives individual behaviour, how to pinpoint the cultural style of your organisation and understand its inherent cultural strengths and weaknesses. We’ll explore team dynamics in the context of the culture, look at functional and dysfunctional behaviour and how dysfunctional behaviour can be reshaped. We’ll explore how easy it is for the leader to unwittingly set people up for failure and how this can be avoided. We’ll investigate motivation, reward and getting the best from the team. Finally, you will spend time planning action what you want to change when you return to your workplace. • Make the transition from management to leadership. • Learn the tools of influence. • Understand behaviours at work. • Explore corporate culture. • Learn to lead and motivate your team.
