How it works

In-person workshops focused on:

Day 2 – Management Mastery & Leading a High-Performance Team

The programme’s workshops will focus on four key areas, starting with Personal Leadership, which will cover the definition of leadership, time management, resilience, how you understand yourself as a leader, and more. Communication Excellence will move on to persuasion strategies, how to communicate in times of change, how to create profiles and hold effective meetings. Management Mastery will then build on your existing skills, helping to define leadership, as well as discussing situational leadership, how to recruit, onboard and engage teams, performance management, and more.

Make An Immediate Impact

Following the workshops, participants receive 2 x 1.5 hours of one-to-one business coaching with professional executive coaches who will help you to identify your Leadership growth accelerators and clarify the key priorities you must focus on to make an immediate, positive impact on your Leadership ability.

Output from the sessions includes a personal learning journey plan, documented for the next year, and providing clarity on the habits and behaviours required to build and lead high performing teams; to consistently improve your Leadership ability and to grow your business.

The plan will include actions, habits to start/stop, and learning recommendations, including access to tailored Leadership resources which are not widely available.

You, plus up to 4 other members of your Senior Team, will complete a DISC Personality Assessment – giving you clarity on each member’s preferred communication style and how to optimise communication within the team.
