Course Description
High Impact Leadership is a five-day programme delivered over two modules. Module one (2 days) explores the areas of leading self. Module two (3 days) focuses on leading people and the business.
Participants will be required to complete a series of pre and post work exercises and activities for both modules. These will include psychometric questionnaires and reflecting analysis. The pre and post work are critical elements of the overall programme and are mandatory requirements.
On module one participants will explore the leadership competencies and qualities required across a range of leadership roles/situations. Participants will define what being a leader means and what is required. Participants will assess their own styles and competencies against the criteria identified for leadership and leadership situations. Participants will also explore their level and control of emotional intelligence. On day two of module one the participants will work with professional actors and business coaches to explore and improve their personal presence and impact. The actors and business coaches will work with each individual to refine and hone their personal brand and image.
Module two will cover communications, leading teams, strategy and change. On day one participants will draw on the learning from module one to refine their communications through effective influencing, body language and communication channels throughout the workplace. Day two will explore strategy and change from a leadership perspective.
Participants will learn a range of strategic tools and models for leading teams and businesses through a range of situations. Participants will apply a range of strategic analysis tools to their own business and develop a strategic blueprint for the business. Participants will also examine what it means to lead through change. Participants will learn how to create a sense of urgency around change, communicate change effectively to win the hearts and minds of employees and stakeholders and how to make sure the change is delivered effectively. Finally on day three the participants will explore the role of leading teams. Participants will be challenged to bring all of their learning together in a simulated environment where their leadership skills will be constantly assessed while leading a team through complex and challenging situations.
