<p>Organisational Development (OD) is all about using behavioural insights to transform systems and structures to align an organisation's capability with its strategy. As the craft of OD approaches its 70th year, the skills and mindset of OD have never been more important. In our ever-changing world of work and global pace, an organisation's ability to respond is key to its success. Practising OD means understanding growth, impact and human systems. Leaders operating with an OD approach are able to build agile and resilient workforces, through ethical and sustainable leadership and culture, whilst having a defined sense of purpose, strategy and direction.</p>
<p>This two-day workshop will help participants successfully understand application of OD processes and tools, explore the role of the OD practitioner and develop their own skills and talents in this role.

<p>A question of trust. Leadership implies followership. And that means trust. Because who's going to follow a leader they don't trust?</p><p>This programme takes a values-driven approach to leadership. It gets current and aspiring leaders to hold up the mirror to themselves and to see their reflections as leaders of people. It asks them whether what they see justifies their view of themselves as leaders. It helps them understand just what it takes to be an effective leader.</p><p>And it does so in a highly practical, constructive manner. It helps the course participants to truly understand the core skills of effective leadership. It focuses on the difference between leadership and management, defining what high performing teams do and how they do it. It helps people to see their teams from different perspectives, allowing them to adapt their styles to maximise team outputs. And it explores concepts such as emotional intelligence, authentic leadership and the RAIV approach (relationships-achievement-independence-vocation) to help explore underlying values and use them to drive effective leadership. Because what worth do our values have unless we put them into practice?</p>The course will help you:<br />• Appreciate the key skills a leader needs to be effective<br />• Understand what the organisation expects of you as a leader<br />• Recognise your leadership style and the impact it has on others<br />• Consider your role models - who inspires you?<br />• See leadership from the 'followers' perspective - how do you like to be led?<br />• Discover what holds you back - limiting beliefs<br />• Examine your core values -do they support your ambition?<br />• Explore the concept of Emotional Intelligence - how do we manage ourselves?<br />• Discover how to lead through change<br />• Explore the concept of 'Authentic Leadership' - consider how it can work for you<br />• Practice some of the skills essential to motivating and influencing for success<br />• Use the RAIV approach to generating enthusiasm and commitment<br />• Plan how best to 'walk the leadership talk' - in your role, in your organisation<p>Above all, this course will help you put theory into practice, values into actions, in a mature, considered, effective way.</p><section>
