Advanced Leadership Course

In a world of AI and virtual working, team leadership has become more important than ever.

This is a very hands-on workshop developed to give participants really practical skills. The goal is that they can take this learning back to their teams to lead them with immediate, motiving and measurable effect both face-to-face or virtually.

People often get promoted to a senior level because they are fantastic at their job, but not necessarily because they are great at leading teams. The promotions can happen without much guidance on what being a leader really means.

Participants will learn what ‘demonstrate leadership’ means and how to best lead and inspire their teams.

Who is this course for?

Anyone who has been told to ‘demonstrate leadership’ and who would really like to know how to do so. Recent participants have had between 5 and 35 years’ experience.

Content

A pre-course questionnaire will be sent to all participants to help tailor the training to the needs of the group. The course options include:

  • The difference between management and leadership.
  • What makes for a great leader, why should people follow you?
  • Understand yourself better and in doing so understand what makes others tick.
  • How to motivate, support and de-stress the team – particularly if your team is working virtually a lot.
  • Emotional intelligence and developing a rapport strategy with difficult people.
  • Influencing and active listening skills.
  • Giving motivational and difficult feedback. Instilling the importance of honest two-way feedback.
  • As a leader - how best to manage your time:
    • Effective delegation
    • How to run productive meeting
    • Directing not drowning
    • Managing expectations
    • Concentration techniques
  • Developing long term priorities for the team and getting goals to stick.
  • Stress-busting techniques for you and for your team.
