Learning to Lead -- What this Program is About...

Clever organisations realise that looking after their emerging leaders is an essential investment in the future. Leaders have an immense impact on the people around them and while many people think that leadership talent is something you’ve wither got or not – research shows, in fact, that good leaders aren’t born knowing how to lead – they learn how. Indeed, learning is central to being an effective leader.

You have to start somewhere on your leadership learning journey – and that’s what Learning to Lead: Laying Foundations for Leadership is all about.

Adapted from our more extended in-house program, this 2-day fast-track clinic provides an opportunity for new and emerging leaders to gain a practical understanding of the new roles contemporary leaders play.  It isn’t about the basics like coordinating, planning, monitoring and organising – leaders in today's more collaborative, team-oriented environment need to be ‘energizers’, ‘mobilisers’, ‘meaning-makers’, ‘vision-setters’, ‘facilitators’ and ‘coaches’.

Great leaders didn’t develop these roles overnight. Laying Foundations for Leadership introduces you to the different, yet equally fundamental set of roles, principles and frameworks leaders need to learn to build and sustain dynamic and productive team cultures and a series of fundamental problem-solving, team-building, facilitation and communication tools for successful learning leadership.

This 2-day learning forum aims to give new and emerging leaders:

A solid base to build leadership skills using Senge’s 5 Learning Disciplines Practical understanding of what leadership is really about and the critical roles and capabilities you need to lead with purpose, clarity and confidence Some useful tools to tackle typical leadership challenges you’ll encounter in your role Insights into why leading starts with YOU -- why personal mastery and self-awareness matter for great leadership The impetus to begin working on your own leadership challenges and put together a personal learning plan to sustain your leadership journey
