<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>

Our Leadership and Management programmes are not just off-the-shelf solutions. They are tailor-made to fit your unique organisation and its specific needs and environment, ensuring every attendee's sense of relevance and personalisation.
They include many aspects of our stand-alone workshops, so you can pick and mix the ingredients you want to effect the change you wish to see from the outcomes. 
We thread your values into our programme to ensure they are inculcated through every workshop and into the minds of all attendees. This helps embed them into everyday thinking and ensures everyone knows why they are critical to your organisation's success.
We extend a warm invitation to all Leaders and Managers, irrespective of their hierarchical position or role, to attend this programme. This inclusivity is a testament to our belief that everyone, from the executive team to the newly promoted Manager or Leader, plays a crucial role in your organisation's success by using the same principles when managing and leading their people.
Our workshops do not sugarcoat the truth. We say what we mean to ensure clarity and recognition of why the ingredients matter. We do not pick out individuals, we do not embarrass, and many discussions are conducted in groups of three. Those groups then come together to share their thoughts and opinions and learn from each other. This ensures that all voices are heard, all ideas considered, and all challenges shared and addressed as a committed organisation.
Accountability and responsibility feature in our sessions. Our facilitator is accountable and responsible for ensuring professionalism and honesty; we expect the same from all participants. You are investing in them; in return, they will invest with commitment, effort and diligence.
“If you stop trying to please others and just do the right thing,
with authenticity, transparency, and integrity,
you will win the hearts and minds of those about you organically.”
