Leading through Conversations: Constructive
Conversations -- What this Program is about...
|
-
Conversations are quite simply too important for leaders
to ignore. The calibre of conversations you have is a telling indicator
of team culture, leadership climate and change success and a key element
for the effective functioning of any team. Ultimately, it’s
conversations that determine the performance culture of your workplace.
-
As a leader, you’re the role model for the way
conversations happen in your place. When you dig down into what leaders
do day-in and day-out, they spend a lot of time having conversations.
Through conversations, we connect with others, inspire, influence,
empathise, energise, organise and motivate. They’re the major forum
where we learn together, solve problems, talk over issues, influence
others, make decisions, build relationships and take action.
-
In fact, when you stop to think about how much gets done
through conversation, it’s really a core business activity!
-
Knowing when and how to use different conversational
tools is a vital but neglected element for personal mastery,
inspirational leadership and business success – no matter what kind of
leadership position you're in!
-
This unique program offers an exceptional opportunity to
practise a set of simple, effective and easy-to-learn conversational
tools that will extend your conversational capabilities, strengthen your
leadership skills and help you to manage your interactions in a more
mindful, effective and productive manner.
-
