Overview
Realising competitive advantage and gaining that extra edge is a distinct challenge strategic leaders face today. So much is dependent on the quality of dialogue and team interaction in order to emerge with a clear and cohesive view behind which all in the organisation can align. My research indicates that only 33% of top teams are able to realise such leadership excellence.
Leadership can be identified as the art of creating a workplace where people can envision their jobs as an integral part of their lives and readily devote their talents to the success of their company. Leaders recognise what fundamentally drives people and can connect those drives to corporate objectives. During this module, you will complete an intensive analysis of your own motivations, behaviours and goals for leadership improvement. By enhancing your understanding of the motivations and attitudes that drive you, you can become more purposeful and effective as a leader. The module will help you diagnose any irrational organisational cultures in your company and foster the means of change by enhancing group dynamics and team building.
Objectives
• Understand the motives of those you seek to lead.
• Analyse the impact of your motives on others.
• Examine the critical role of leadership in modern organisations.
• Analyse the leader’s role in exemplifying organisational culture.
• Understand leadership and organisational transformation.
Audience
This two day workshop is meant for General Managers, Executive Directors, Non Executive Directors, CEOs, Managing Directors and Chairmen. The programme participants will be asked to address real life problems faced by other organisations at a time of crisis and emerge with a clear and comprehensive way forward.
