Five Day Intensive Programme

Leadership, Strategy, Management

The LEAD Programme

Designed to develop current and future managers and leaders and senior professionals, the LEAD Programme is the comprehensive introduction to leadership that organisations and individuals need.  This general management and leadership programme is suitable for supervisors, team leaders, professionals and managers of all experience levels across all functional areas as well as core operational and strategic areas.  This programme trains participants to think strategically, lead and communicate under stress and plan for the unexpected using enhanced leadership and management skills developed in the course. 

 

Through our intensive approach, we focus on developing participants' skills, knowledge and understanding of a broad range of concepts, principles of leadership, strategy and management, including leadership theory, emotional intelligence, ethics, strategic thinking, strategic analysis, strategy development, strategy implementation, change management, negotiation, people management, media management, motivation, coaching and mentoring, and continuous improvement.

The LEAD Programme takes a holistic approach to leadership development and provides the opportunity not only for intensive learning in a supportive environment, but also for personal reflection and growth.  Organisations have commissioned the LEAD Programme  on many an occasion to develop individuals, and also to align teams with their organisational goals and strategic vision.  The programme enables participants to look beyond their current role to adopt a future oriented perspective whilst dealing with current issues. Participants are also encouraged to examine the subject of leadership, strategy and management from a whole of organisation perspective, as well as from the perspective of the numerous stakeholders that form part of the organisation's environment.

Participants in the LEAD Programme undertake a major work based project and presentation that is worked on throughout the five day programme.  The major work based project and presentation helps participants to translate the concepts and skills learnt directly into their work, linking the concepts together and gaining a holistic appreciation of all the elements of leadership. 

The LEAD Programme is a fully self contained programme with sessions allocated for individual consultations and presentations.

 

Session topics include:

1. Understanding the Difference between Leadership and Management
