Background

We work in teams all the time - work group teams, project teams, sporting teams, and so on. To be really effective in a team situation we need to work well together, and we also need to manage diversity and differences of opinion and approach. Good leadership within a team always makes a difference. It can turn organisations around and positively affect hundreds of lives. However, leadership is not easy to learn and even more difficult to consistently demonstrate. Leadership development often requires very successful professionals to learn and apply new skills while often letting go of old entrenched habits.

The Action Learning Program is design to develop leadership skills within a team environment, with real outcomes and achievements at the end of the program.

Audience

The workshop is designed for our emerging leaders – future leaders and current supervisors / team leaders – who are looking to improve their team leadership skill set, better understand their own communication styles, and present a tangible outcome at the end of the program.

The program covers:

• 6 days leadership skills development (3, 4, 28, 29 May and 12, 13 June)
