Leadership Programs

Leadership Programs

Developed through extensive research and using the latest thinking in management and behaviour development we have created a compact and highly interactive set of courses/workshops designed to give delegates self confidence and improve personal effectiveness.

Over the last few years there has been a move towards a management style of ‘empowerment’, self managed teams – the movement of ‘control’ from the ‘leader’ to the followers. In theory this is a great idea, intended to build accountability. However in practice it really does depend on the ability of those to whom control passes. Without the right training and defined parameters it can actually lead to ‘lack of control’, lowering of standards in both quality of service and production.

So what is the alternative?

Today, more than ever, teams require ‘strong’ leadership - put simply it is those ‘leaders’ - directors/ managers/ team leaders/ supervisors who are able to inspire their teams/followers by painting a vision or picture that motivates them to achieve their individual goals. Traits of such managers would include: a strong sense of purpose, decisiveness, able to establish clear goals & expectations, and encouraging a ‘support & challenge’ environment. Strong leadership is also about building relationships and the influence a leader has on their team. All our programmes apply the principle of developing ‘strong leadership’
