RealLeadership

Executive skills for leaders to inspire, motivate and engage others to excel

This programme is run by one of our lead trainers and international author David Molden.

Is it for me?

You are a leader, manager or decision-maker and understand the importance of effective leadership for successful enterprise. Competitive drive comes from people who are enthusiastic and engaged with their work, who can make decisions, take calculated risks and inspire others to excel. At Quadrant 1 we know that effective leadership begins from within. Your employees take their lead from those trusted with key responsibilities, and from people around them who are effective at what they do.

Role modelling the qualities of leadership is a natural process. Your employees will observe those with authority and emulate their behaviour. This is how your culture is created, and why personal development is so important for creating appropriate models of behaviour.

What will I get?

On our real leadership programme we won’t simply give you leadership theories which may or may not be appropriate for you. Neither will we engage you in generic ideas which may or may not apply to your organisation. Instead we will work with you in the areas which are current for you, your team and your organisation. We will treat you as an individual and explore the challenges presented by the real people who make up your team.

You will gain a heightened awareness of the cause/effect of communication from attitude through to behaviour, and how role modelling works. Using the Leadership Assessment tool you will identify aspects of your personal style that you want to change and you will learn powerful techniques to help you do so. You will use the Leadership Assessment model for Real Leadership to guide your development.

What will I learn?

Starting from within on module 1 you will learn:

• How your thinking and behaviour patterns affect your leadership style, impact others and affect the quality of the work generated by those you are responsible for.
• Tools and techniques for managing your mental and emotional state to deal with the challenges of your role.
• How to develop rock solid beliefs and values to help you on your leadership journey.
• How to eradicate disempowering habits including procrastination, self doubt, uncertainty, distraction, low energy levels and being over-judgemental.
• How to generate empowering ways of engaging with work, including: personal aspirations, effective decision making, clarity, focus, creative thinking, confidence and self-motivation.

On module 2, having had an opportunity to integrate and recognise the impact of progress made from module 1 you will learn:

• How to influence others effectively and elegantly taking account of their motivations, values and thinking patterns. You will be given an opportunity to practise a variety of influencing tools and techniques and to really hone your skills.
• How to set powerful outcomes – not just for long term goals but for everything you do – building relationships, making phone calls, holding meetings, sending e-mails, completing projects, strategic planning.
• How to ensure that your behaviour is congruent with your thinking and that your mindset is balanced for effective leadership.

On module 3, having had an opportunity to practise your new skills in the real world you will learn –

• How to use NLP modelling skills to successfully model excellent performance in others. With your facilitator you will discuss and design a real time modelling project chosen for its maximum value to you and you will be asked to complete your work-based project between modules 3 and 4.

• how to apply the tools and techniques you have already learnt as well as some new ones directly to business scenarios such as presenting, selling, coaching, strategic planning, running effective meetings and motivating teams.

On module 4, having completed your real time project you will:

• Build a success model of leadership from the output of your project. You will use this personalised model as a guide to the way you begin to interact with your work and with others.
• Work closely with your facilitator on your Leadership Assessment – identifying further areas for change and practising the appropriate techniques.
• Learn strategies and techniques for team creativity and project planning.
• Learn how to lead remote teams and gain commitment and drive from people you may not see on a regular basis.

Our outcome for you is that you develop an effective leadership style building upon the attitudes and skills you have now rather than force-feeding you with generic assumptions about what constitutes effective leadership. Using this approach you will make rapid positive changes during the course which you will be able to apply instantly within your organisation.
