Success Leadership 4 Day Program

Background

In our changing and increasingly complex environment, we are continually expecting more from our leaders. Without effective tools to diagnose complex issues and understand the underlying elements within our teams, it can be extremely difficult to achieve and maintain high productivity and performance.

The aim of this program is to provide participants with tools and the opportunity to become self aware, highly effective leaders within their own roles. A key part of this is the opportunity for participants to implement their learning within the work environment.

Workshop Program

The program covers:

• Diagnostic Tools for more effective team outcomes
• Components of a High Performing Team
• Emotional Intelligence
• Leadership Styles and Approaches
• Leadership and Followship concepts
• Diagnosing Performance and underlying contributing factors
• Monitoring and improving Performance over time
• Developing an Action Plan and presenting reports

Learning Outcomes

• Utilise diagnostic tools to improve individual and team performance
• Understand individual preferences and filters, and what that means for you as a manager
• Monitor and improve the performance of your team through appropriate use of:
• • Coaching tools
  • Delegation
  • Feedback
  • Staff Development
• Implementation of new knowledge and behaviour within the workplace through individual Action Plans

NEW: Action Learning Component

Feedback received from the 2011 program strongly indicated that participants were in general not well supported in the implementation of their new skills. As a result, we have adapted the program to provide the opportunity for all participants to take responsibility for their own learning, through the development and implementation of their own Action Plan. Support through mentoring and also ideally from the individual's manager will be a key part of this program.

Participants from the 2011 program who would like to undertake a similar program extension are invited to contact the Professional Development Office (t.rutherford@cqu.edu.au) to express their interest.

Audience

The workshop is designed for middle and / or experienced managers looking to add to their leadership skills and toolkit. There will also be opportunities to network with colleagues, experiment and to reflect. To ensure we provide a quality program, attendance will be between eight and twelve participants only.

Facilitators

Two of the following staff will facilitate the program:

• Tanya Rutherford 
• Ian Riggs
• Leone Hinton

Time Commitment

This program consists of three days of leadership skills development; ongoing action plan development and implementation, and a fourth half day of action outcome reports.

It is expected that participants will work on their action plans between sessions, and will report back to the group on the final half day session.

Bring notepad and pen to the program. Workbook will be provided.

Additional online resources will be made available during the program.

Assessment Strategy
