Course Overview

Managers are promoted for competence and then judged on employee idea programmes, which nobody trained them for. Teams read what their leaders tolerate on the wider organisational leadership agenda far more accurately than what their leaders announce. It suits anyone whose decisions touch this area of organisational leadership, in large organisations and small ones alike. Most organisations already have a policy on employee idea programmes; far fewer can show it working. The programme converts the organisational leadership discipline from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of this area of organisational leadership is examined, not just described. Mature organisations treat employee idea programmes as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to the practice within organisational leadership in an order their organisation can absorb. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for this part of organisational leadership survives a hostile question.
