People and businesses need leadership to survive and grow, and it has to come from more than just the top Executive team. People need to understand when to manage and when to lead and what the differences mean to the business.
LiveChange has created a lively and interactive one day workshop that can be run with top teams down to middle management. The workshop is for up to 24 people working in small teams.
1. Defining Leadership
How do we define great leaders? What are the characteristics that great leaders have in common with each other. Leadership comes from all sorts of people and it is not only those born with natural charisma that can be effective.
2. Managing v Leading
There is a lot of confusion about managing and leading. Both are vitally important roles for people to adopt, but what is the difference and when are they both appropriate?
3. Aligning Personal Values to Corporate Values
To be a leader you have to have followers. To have followers you have to be credible in what you do. To live this leaders must be clear about their own beliefs and personal values and how they align to the values of the organisation and then act consistently behind them
4. Introducing a Leadership Framework
Leadership is not about personality it is about practice. Whether you are a leader in the Private, Public or not for profit Sector there are a number of key practices you should adopt to be successful. Five practices of exemplary leadership are introduced: Model the Way, Inspire a shared Vision, Challenge the Process, Enable others to Act and Encourage the Heart. These five practices are discussed and dissected during the workshop. Note: This part of the workshop may be customised to some extent for your organisation.
5. Identifying our performance and deciding on actions
Having accepted the five key practices necessary to be an effective leader in your organisation, how are you doing? The final part of the workshop looks at how the team are performing in these five areas and allows individuals and teams to rate themselves and commit to actions.
