Overview

Effective leadership is the make or break of an organisation. The recognised strength of leadership directly impacts the market value of an organisation as investors recognise how crucial they are to an organisation delivering on strategy.

Whilst some leaders are definitely born with an intrinsic understanding of what it takes to lead others to success, most leaders are made, not born. Through effective leadership development activity we can shape leaders and help them in their growth and development. Through the right development offer we can increase leadership capability.

Since ‘leadership development’ entered business vocabulary in the 70s, it is difficult to follow the myriad of approaches that promise to transform performance - and how do you know which is right for your organisation?

Identifying the requirement of your leadership development programme is but the first step:

  •   How do you navigate the vast menu of leadership success formulas and select the leadership strategy that delivers results for you?
  •   Do you understand how your leaders learn so that you can facilitate their development to enable their growth and optimise performance?
  •   Is the leadership culture in your organisation even conducive to leadership development?

These are but a few essential questions that need addressing before you begin to roll out a leadership programme that will inspire and provide a measurable shift in performance.

This unique seminar promises latest thinking on enabling effective leadership and an understanding around how leaders learn so you can identify how best to deliver an appropriate and effective leadership strategy that will unlock potential and performance at all levels of your organisation.

Through an exploration of the breadth of latest research and case study analysis you will also hear how best to assess the return of your leadership development strategy to validate its essence to your board.
