This is an interactive course based on an experiential, adult-learning model.
This highly participative session will allow you to better understand and improve how you show up as a leader of change. It focuses on understanding and adjusting the connection between how you think and an assortment of effective and ineffective leader behaviors, particularly as they relate to change and leading/managing others through change. You will learn how your thinking styles affect your ability to develop emotional intelligence, build and manage relationships, communicate up, across and down, deal with stress and time management, resolve conflict, embrace rather than resist change, lead change, and function in groups with varying dynamics. You will have an opportunity to identify areas requiring improvement and begin thinking about practical implementation steps to achieve positive change in these areas. The program will incorporate experiential learning, large and small group dialogue, group exercises, and self-assessment.
Transitions to leadership positions require a shift of mindset from I to WE as a critical success factor. Leader performance is assessed by the strength of the whole, which includes both individual and team achievements. Given this dependency, leaders face the challenge and opportunity of identifying and leveraging team talent, and creating a culture within which teams are motivated to grow and learn in support of organizational goals.
This one-day interactive skills-based learning session is designed to complement leader toolkits to include practical tips and tools for enhancing performance through coaching and mentoring. It is intended to help illustrate how alignment of organizational priorities with team strengths helps to drive performance particularly when enabled by motivation as well as the use of coaching and mentoring approaches and techniques.
As each of us works to manage our own varied responses to the “New Normal”, one thing remains constant – many of our best results are created when we effectively engage others and work together to build not just great solutions, but also the critical buy-in to get them executed. Constant pressure from the work from home world – high levels of ambiguity, moving targets and screen fatigue – all have the potential to interfere with leaders’ abilities to reach others and communicate in ways others can absorb and make actionable.
Courses can be customized to meet your organization’s specific needs and can be delivered from anywhere in Ontario.
