Suitable for:
Leaders and aspiring leaders, defined as those who need to influence others within or beyond their organisations.
The programme has been developed with leaders in mind, and therefore is pitched at a relatively senior level. However, leadership can be demonstrated at many levels within today’s organisations. Wherever individuals have, or can take discretionary action in their work, they have the capacity to lead. For less senior delegates, you will need to maintain focus on those aspects of their roles that contain, or have the scope for taking discretionary action.
Overview:
Embracing politics is a part of what being an effective leader means. The word 'politics' has acquired a poor reputation. This programme turns that concept upside down and enables leaders to recognise and develop political presence and political integrity.
- Demonstrate that you can be politically successful whilst acting with complete integrity
- Show how to use this integrity to develop the insights and skills to be a positive political influencer
This workshop is part of the LCS suite of Leadership Development programmes. Leadership, unlike management, cannot be taught. The role of the trainer throughout the workshop is to facilitate learning.
Management is an institution; the exercise of authority of one person over another; a set of organising processes that ensure stability, control and continuity. It is embedded within the concept of organisation. Leadership is a relationship; the way one individual influences another; a preparedness by one person to follow and rely upon the guidance of the person who leads.
The capacity for leadership grows out of an individual’s character, and leadership development is about helping individuals discover and explore what leadership means for them. It follows that anyone taking on a role in leadership development needs to be skilled in helping senior people to go through their own learning.
This workshop will only be effective if you engage the delegates in that learning. Delegates who bring with them a “teach me” attitude and fail to engage will learn little. Before you start the sessions, please ensure you are prepared to deal with the challenges of engaging senior people in their own learning.
