Effective Personal Leadership
Develop the self-knowledge, sense of purpose and personal responsibility that people look for in someone they are asked to follow.
Leading others starts with leading yourself.
Many people are given responsibility for others without ever having worked out how they want to lead. Effective Personal Leadership is designed for people who recognise needs like these.
For managers and leaders who already manage their own work well and want to grow as leaders of others.
-
Managing tasks, not yet leading
You run the work well, but you have had little chance to think about the kind of leader you want to be.
-
Unclear direction
You are busy and capable, but without a clear sense of purpose or goals of your own to work towards.
-
Confidence under pressure
Setbacks and difficult conversations knock your confidence more than you would like.
-
Bringing others with you
You want people to follow because they trust you, not only because of your job title.
What the programme covers
Who you are as a leader, and where you are going.
The programme covers your potential, self-knowledge and emotional intelligence, personal responsibility, purpose, goals, passion, positive expectancy, persistence, balance, communication, and developing others.
