Programme

Below you will find the programme of this four-day training course

Day 1

First leadership exercise and debriefing

• The first exercise aims to define leadership and describe the various factors that could affect success or failure.

Constructive feedback

• Skills-building session on how to deliver motivating, constructive, and behaviour-driven feedback
• Topic covered early on day 1 to ensure that all future peer feedback during the course is useful to participants

Understanding your people

• Communication skills building session
• How to use active empathy to really listen and get to know people

Introducing strategic action

• Leadership exercise designed to show the importance of assessing your current position and setting priorities before jumping into action
• This session plants the seed of a strategic approach to leadership, which is reinforced during future leadership exercises.

Day 2

Adapting your leadership style

• Initial leadership exercise on discovering different leadership methods
• Includes advantages and disadvantages of the different leadership methods. How do they help you achieve tick box results, employee satisfaction, and develop skills?
• Case-based discussion to discover how and when you can apply these different methods to lead your team

Coaching

• Skills-building session
• How to help your employees find their own solutions to problems and come up with a related strategy for achieving specific goals
• GROW coaching model, applied immediately so each participant can see the value of a coaching approach and how a strategic approach to coaching works

Days 3 and 4

The topic order changes each time the course is conducted. However, days 1 and 2 always follow the approach above to ensure that certain deliverables are on the table before days 3 and 4 since they will be revisited in later sessions.

Motivation

• What do people really want from work?
• Intrinsic vs extrinsic motivators
• What are the different ways to foster and maintain motivation on a personal and employee level?

• What you need to know about people to present beneficial arguments
• Mini-exercise: How to present an idea as a benefit and effectively deal with objections

Change

• Role-play exercise: Get buy-in from someone for a specific new idea/approach = designed to show different change personality types

Teamwork

• Leadership exercise designed to reinforce a strategic leadership approach and highlight issues that come up during teamwork

• What are the keys to effective teamwork?
• Through peer discussions and workshops, participants will define concrete actions they can implement in their own teams.
